The Mentalist Series 3.
Right where we left off, The Mentalist is back for a 3rd series. The first case of series Patrick Jane opts out of the first case, but the director of the CBI wants Jane back on the case, Lisborn needs to talk Jane in to working the case, Patrick is still broken up over Red John taking christina, a psychic.
Lisborne tricking Jane now gets Jane gets to some revenge of his own. The 2nd episode Jane has a case with his Brother In-Law as the suspect, Jane now cuts off most of the contact from his team, Jane is the suspect in the same case, so what can Jane do. Jane’s Brother in law shoots Patrick, Did Patrick take one in the vest, or was he really shoot? or was it all just a gag?
They’ve got a lead on the Christina Fry case, Now Lisborn and the team are working a case that includes the cult Visualize. Patrick is creating trouble again. Visualize was involved in some earlier cases of the mentalist.
CBI hit the FBI, as the FBI are looking in to visualize. The agent knows Grace’s dad. A reporter gets video on Jane sleeping on the job. Grace is now going on a lunch date with a FBI agent and Chow says it’s okay we’ll stop for Beagles, I thought they stopped for Donuts.
A murdered Jockey, Grace keeps trying to get back in to the field. Patrick put Grace on a horse that could’ve killed her. Patrick puts one over a security consultant. A wealthy women threatens Lisborne’s career!
Jane and Lisborne are in the middle of a bomb explosion or a blast what ever you perfer. Walter Mashburn is back and crushing on Lisbourne is she crushing back? Is Wayne really over Grace? Now patrick finds himself in a middle of shoot out, now Jane is MIA.
Lisborne requests Hightower to call in the FBI. Now Wayne is forced to work with Grace’s new boyfriend as he is the FBI agent assigned to the case. Can the CBI and or the FBI get to Jane before his a DB.
Lisborn has been taken by Jane’s kidnapping now they’ve got two missing. Good shooting Hightower! Chalk one up on the board for CBI. Now Patrick gets help by another Psychic. Someone killed Santa and the death is related to grog.
Wayne has a date and is at a wrestling match wil there be something more to the thing and will wayne pick up more than a girl, could he pick up a case? Wayne and Chow’s work relationship is on the rocks over a lie.
Chow lies for Wayne. The FBI Consultant wagers a bet with Jane. Playing with the caveman has drawn the real caveman out of hiding. The FBI consultant claims that Wayne is still in love with some one, we all know that has to be Grace.
Now Patrick is in a police pursuit, creating troubles for the locals. Now there hand is forced to make arrest a cop. Graces gets witness protection duty. Shots are fired at Graces, WITPRO house one dead. let’s solve this bad boy.
Is it’s Grace’s fault that her witness is dead? Who is the killer within the CBI??? Craig asks Grace to marry him will she say yes??? How will Wayne handle it? Does lisbon’s soft spot show in this episode??
Jane is partnered with Hightower. Who is Red John’s mole inside the CBI?? Is it Hightower?? They are working on a museum case with a death. Chow is put in charge. Lisborn is siezing the moment why she is not in charge.
Someone held up a coroner’s van, all they stole was the body. What will they think of next??? Grace is making wedding plans on the CBI’s dollar. Now Grace, Criag and Wayne are getting shoot at by armed to the hilt gun men Grace’s weapon jams.
Wayne claims that Craig flaked on Grace. Will Wayne tell Grace? Wayne is asked by a girl called Sarah if he is in a relationship? Wayne is undercover at a singles mixer, Grace & Lisbonr is his back up.
La’rogues house was broken in to, Patrick hired a guy to break in his boss’s house, Now Patrick has to break him out of jail. Wayne gets in to a fist fight with his father, while they investigate the murder of a prison guard.
Wayne tells Grace he can’t be at her wedding as he is still in love with her, Cho is stuck babysitting a kid & he stole Grace’s phone. Cho forms a bond with the kid. Normally Lisborn needs to be worried about Jane, does she need to worry about Cho??
A double episode for the finale, a man has a bomb strapped to hhim and killed him self, can they get to the bottom of it. Now Lisborn has a bomb strapped to her as well, so they need to solve the problem.
Red John is behind the bombs, La’Roche is the mole, they believe, they stumble across a picture of HighTower. what’s the plan for Red John. Is Craig the mole? Who is the mole inside the CBI, it’s amazing how Craig inserted himself in to the CBI & he sort of proposed to Grace out of nowhere.
Will grace get her heartbroken and will the mole be who they expect or will that angle throw a u turn? Lisbon is wounded, this is one gripping finale as per always. Is Jane finally confronted with Red John???
How will the CBI get Patrick out of this one???
Overall: 10/10
Conclusion: These are always the hardest part of a review picking the flaws of a story luckily there’s nothing you can find wrong about the mentalist the script is always superb and well written and wants you coming back for more time & time again. Simon Baker does a wonderful job as Patrick Jane they shouldn’t have chosen a better actor to act the role. I kinda saw through the mole and the miss leading information there but I’m a type of think out side the box watcher. I’ve never really been able to fault the mentalist which is what keeps the show fresh. I’m just wondering how the next series of the much loved mentalist will start out, might there be some more love for Grace within the unit?

Overall:8/10.
Conclusion: This is a low budget production it came out at $34.99, for four dvd’s and the quality of the dvd’s aren’t affected because this is a low budget item, the picture quality is still excellent but the audio is fairly low and poor sadly, they could use a bit of boost, I’m a trade sound technician . The show wasn’t the same when Larry, left the show the chemistry of the cast just wasn’t the same he was part of the unique click between, Amita, Charlie and Alan, the show couldn’t go on in my mind without him, but it’s good he came back towards the end. It was 16 short but fun episodes. Stories are interesting and still keeps you coming back for more, and more, but sadly at the end of the 16 episodes there is no more but that way you can relive every moment on DVD. The small and simple wedding between Charlie and Amita was a nice touch, it was a good way to end on a positive note. It’s was a excellent final series. It was a great way to end it with Don asking Robin to marry him and her saying yes too bad we won’t see the wedding, due to the axing of the show but all good things come to a end.
(I’ve taken 2 off for the poor audio quality)

Overall: 6/10
Conclusion:
Any die hard blue heelers fan could see Tom was having some troubles coping, think back to Series 1 -3 Part 2 where he had heart problems many of the fans would be thinking there they back? I was a tad disappointed that it was only 11 episodes but it’s better than none I guess ;). I love how Tom’s Dr has a old school mac on her desk even though they where long deleted before they shot the episode. Adam Cooper returns back to the station to fix a printer, Adam drive a wedge through the township of Mt Thomas. The Heelers get to chuck Cooper in the cells more than once that was a nice touch. I personally though it could’ve ended better, I don’t believe this is worth the $70.00 odd bucks they want for it, it’s only 3 DVDs, so therefore I need to side with a low 6/10, based on stories and price and everything. It was a major disappointment, they could’ve ended a show that lasted over a decade a bit better.

Thomas won’t be shutting after all but only on a probationary period. It’s all fun and games they end in a blaze of glory but it’s a sad day for heeler fans.
Overall: 6/10
Conclusion:
Any die hard blue heelers fan could see Tom was having some troubles coping, think back to Series 1 -3 Part 2 where he had heart problems many of the fans would be thinking there they back? I was a tad disappointed that it was only 11 episodes but it’s better than none I guess ;). I love how Tom’s Dr has a old school mac on her desk even though they where long deleted before they shot the episode. Adam Cooper returns back to the station to fix a printer, Adam drive a wedge through the township of Mt Thomas. The Heelers get to chuck Cooper in the cells more than once that was a nice touch. I personally though it could’ve ended better, I don’t believe this is worth the $70.00 odd bucks they want for it, it’s only 3 DVDs, so therefore I need to side with a low 6/10, based on stories and price and everything. It was a major disappointment, they could’ve ended a show that lasted over a decade a bit better.

Overall: 10/10
Conclusion: This is never short of action, there’s always something happening in this great drama, which is a good thing, I like something that contains a lot of action. I love how they are creating things from basically household items, it brings out a creative side to the show, and it’s quite intelligent it makes the viewer think out side the box as the writers are thinking out side the box.
40 - 45 minute long episodes just seem to fly by, it seems like it’s only been 20 minutes but maybe I’m just getting to in to the show but yet again that’s the kicks of being a reviewer.
Stories are unique and different which makes it stand out out from the rest of the shows on TV today, it’s shot in Miami, so there’s plenty of scenery. Fiona is a nice touch to show, even if she is trigger happy, but that adds to the character of her which is good.
Sam is nice as well but doubles as a informant, This has great stories with unique story lines like none other. So I’m loving this show I couldn’t be more happy with a show like this, so it’s excellent it’s something FRESH, New and great. Like all good shows it leave’s us with a cliffhanger so we come back for more next series.

Overall: 10/10
Conclusion:
(Please note: I’m not comparing this to the original Five-O as I never had the pleasure of watching the original five-O)
I’m starting to wonder why Kelly is always the one with the pump action shotgun. I love how they mix things up but there’s always a fair share of action no matter what. I picked this up because it looked sweet. I was extremely happy to find Claire Van Der Boom, in this drama as Danny’s Ex Wife Rachel, for once she didn’t get killed off (Referring to her other roles on Rush, No Greater Honor.). It was great to see team put a australian on the pay roll. 5-O was never short on drama, the tool box was something that kept coming back to haunt the McGarrett, The way they ended the season with the cliffhanger I’m starting to wonder if there will be a 5-O next season, but I’ll have to wait for the next dvd release. It was well thought out, The 5-O had many different aspects to the team, Kono, a ex professional surfer a rookie cop, Danny moved from New Jersey to be close to his daughter Grace, Chin Ho a cop accuse of corruption but is trusted by McGarrett, and last but not least Steve McGarrett, unethical is one word for his actions for effective they are, a ex seal was a nice mix in to the team of the 5-0.
I’d highly recommend this series, the action is excellent and well thought out, the stories are interesting and they’ve got the mystery of the tool box to solve so why not buckle up for some made driving and crazy shooting and watch 5-O these holidays.

It was great to see team put a australian on the pay roll. 5-O was never short on drama, the tool box was something that kept coming back to haunt the McGarrett, The way they ended the season with the cliffhanger I’m starting to wonder if there will be a 5-O next season, but I’ll have to wait for the next dvd release. It was well thought out, The 5-O had many different aspects to the team, Kono, a ex professional surfer a rookie cop, Danny moved from New Jersey to be close to his daughter Grace, Chin Ho a cop accuse of corruption but is trusted by McGarrett, and last but not least Steve McGarrett, unethical is one word for his actions for effective they are, a ex seal was a nice mix in to the team of the 5-0.
I’d highly recommend this series, the action is excellent and well thought out, the stories are interesting and they’ve got the mystery of the tool box to solve so why not buckle up for some made driving and crazy shooting and watch 5-O these holidays.
