I watched that show and I couldn't believe just how stupid it was. This guy is supposed to be some detective?! He is definitely no Sherlock Holmes that's for sure.
Definition of mentalist:The term mentalist refers to entertainers whose performance appears to be based on "psychic" abilities, featuring the ability to read minds, project the mind to alter the state of matter, foretell the future, and see distant and hidden objects. This branch of magic is referred to as "mentalism."[1]
There are analogues in the field of parapsychology, where a mentalist is defined as someone who is believed to read thoughts and place suggestions in people's minds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MentalistThis guy does not fit that description at all!! All he does is point out brazenly obvious things to his clueless and oblivious colleagues which is something anyone could do.
This show/guy is a joke.
