The Warner Archive Collection has revealed the Blu-ray edition of creator Bruno Heller's
The Mentalist: The Complete First Season, which stars Simon Baker, Robin Tunney, Tim Kang, Owain Yeoman and Amanda Righetti. The hit CBS series' first season is currently a WAC exclusive, with Amazon already taking pre-orders for a November 5th release.
Official Synopsis: A mentalist is a master manipulator of thought and behavior. Patrick Jane (Baker) is a celebrity psychic whose wife and child are viciously murdered by an elusive serial killer called Red John. Devastated, Patrick admits his paranormal act is fake, renounces his earlier life and uses his astonishing skills of observation and analysis - talents that made him appear psychically gifted - to bring killers to justice. Patrick now helps an elite team of detectives (Tunney, Kang, Yeoman and Righetti) break their toughest cases. But no matter how many criminals he catches, Patrick never forgets his central goal: find Red John and bring him down.
