The Mentalist Mania

Why we're falling in love with Patrick Jane?


The Mentalist was broadcasted with some difficult in Italy, suffered frequently change of schedule and networks but, in the end, even in our Country we can talk about The Mentalist Mania. Our passion concern Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), of course, the leading character of TV series. He's a consulting of the Californian Bureau of Investigation and, thanks to his powers of observation and manipulation of human behavior (he was a fraud TV psychic in the past), he's able to catch criminals with the CBI's team led by the beautiful senior agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney).

US TV series VS Italian TV drama


Why Castle and Patrick Jane beat Don Matteo and Cesaroni

Maybe because I grew up with milk and "Fame" or because I don't empathize with the Cesaroni's stereotypes, but the more I'm get to know US TV Series the more I'm realize that they are hundreds of steps ahead of us.

Now that I can enjoy them in their original language, a comparison withItalian TV drama is even more unforgiving. But whose fault is it?
