The 2000s saw many highly popular cop procedurals come to life, from the narcotic-oriented The Wire to the ongoing NCIS. While The Mentalistwasn't necessarily a juggernaut in the subgenre, it was certainly still a gem of a show that earned dedicated fans over its seven-season run. It quickly garnered a following through its faux-psychic meets cop procedural premise, with Simon Bakerenthralling everyone as the enigmatic and haunted Patrick Jane. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to sustain The Mentalist in the long run. After Season 7, the show was canceled due to low viewership, but this wasn't a new problem for the series. It tried to resolve this issue after Season 6 by completely reinventing the show, introducing new characters, stakes, and overarching stories. However, these changes couldn't save The Mentalist and all its beloved characters.
