TV Season Finales Recap/Review Part 4

I have to say...I'm losing interest with The Mentalist. Simon Baker used to be charming as Patrick Jane, the CIB consultant, but he's become less likeable in season 5. Maybe, he's always been that way and I see it now. I mean I always liked that he is able to read people extremely well and is able to come up with ways to trick the true murderers into falling for his traps at the end of each episode. I realize the CIB agents are pretty useless without his consultation. They can't catch the real culprit without Jane. He never involves them in his schemes or even reveals the truth until last minute. Patrick Jane doesn't treat Teresa Lisbon like a partner or the others like his team members, he always goes on a whim and does what he likes all the time.  Maybe people like that about him, but I don't. I used to like Patrick but I'm tired of the same old Jane.

What makes Criminal Minds and NCIS successful is their skillful ability to catch the audience's attention. Every episode of Criminal Minds we see a dangerous situation in the form of a murderous unsub and the darkness of humanity is revealed in these serial killers. The BAU's job is to profile the serial killers and diffuse the ticking bomb (the unsub).  Right from the beginning of Criminal Minds' season finale, we see the families of  Hotchner and J.J. waking up in a peaceful morning while Penelope and Spencer go to a convention. Rossi just came out of an all night romance and it's another Saturday where people go to the bank. The ordinary scenes of life is immediately juxtaposed with  a surprise bank heist by the Face Cards.
