I have been waiting for the love this show deserves since around 2019. so it’s nice to see the love it's received because it definitely deserves it.
Although this season isn’t one of the best or the greatest in TV, it’s a good and solid first season. The biggest problem is that it has too much filler, which can be exhausting because there are 23 episodes. But even so, those episodes are pretty much entertaining, with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions. The "fillers" are fun and enjoyable to watch.
Honestly, this is probably the goofiest and most fun show ever, bro 😭
And it's Patrick Jane and his interactions with the other characters that make it so enjoyable to watch. Patrick Jane is such a great protagonist. They don’t do too much with him, but they do enough to make me love him. He is literally the reason every episode is at least good. I also have to praise Simon Baker’s performance—he was literally born for the role.
This show is entertaining during the filler episodes, but when it actually focuses on its main plot, what it achieves is incredible television, in my opinion.
I’m not even exaggerating. It really surprises me what this show can accomplish. What leaves me speechless is that they make me like Red John so much just by being a blood-smiley face. I'm currently about to finish season 3, and Red John is already one of my favorite TV antagonists.
So, in summary, a good, solid, fun, and enjoyable season with really good episodes and a great protagonist. If anyone wants to check it out, I 100% recommend it
