I am pleasantly surprised that so far this show is entertaining. Jesse is likeable and so are the supporting cast. I could do without the FBI ex and her budding new love, but that is minor and not at all distracting. So far so good!!

You must have such a SAD life. It's really a shame. But why do you have to attempt to poison this for the rest of us? Go to some other political crybaby site and spoil that for the cretins there. As for this being like Lie to Me it s not. Lie to Me was all about micro expressions, a physical science, and had no real psychological component. The concepts presented as background of the episodes of this show are interesting and thru the first 4 episodes have held my interest.

I thought maybe a rehash of Criminal Minds although I saw maybe all of two episodes of Criminal Minds (in all its years) and I didn't like them. I almost remember Lie to Me but I never saw any of it. The Irrational is probably like tens of series about ongoing crimes investigations. Even Sherlock Holmes has something in common. I could like this kind of show but the preview doesn't make me want to watch it. The far-fetched nature will likely give it a too improbable feel. I give it barely a 10 percent chance of being any good for me. Actually, that's too generous.

To me this is just a re-hash of Lie to Me, which was a great show

Predictably Irrational. Got that right. And it seems there are more crazies than ever. We let untold millions of desperate people (and subversive elements) with no histories right in the door with the apparent belief that what doesn't kill will make the cult stronger.

It doesn't take a mentalist to know that most crime is irrational and therefore many criminal actions can't be rationally explained. It doesn't take a mentalist to know that letting irrational criminals free is crazy, yet the irrational progressives near you are doing just that.

We don't necessarily know what crazy stuff they will do next, only that they will keep doing it.

It's just a TV show (and book), probably meaningless, yet the title concept is highly relevant. This is a pass for me.
