The Mentalist

[fmpro]

So.. Could not find a thread for this Show..Is there no love for this here?Red John just got a face

[Jim Shorts]

I was a serious follower of this show until it moved to Sunday nights and the NFL and Walking Dead took over. I've been a little lost as to what's happened the last 2 seasons but I was lucky enough to catch this past Sunday's episode. Great to finally see him beat and kill Red John. Although the marathon chase at the end was more funny than suspenseful. By the end they were both just walking briskly. :DI'd always hoped he would move on with Lisbon though.

Show picks up next week were 2 years has gone by.. I have a feeling that we could see some romance before the series ends

Just watched the finale.  I used to really like this show, but all the episodes after the Red John conclusion were pretty bad.
