It starts out a little flat I must admit and then it only gets better...I almost dropped it after watching the first episode... But I'm glad I picked it up again... What really makes this show interesting is that the chemistry between the characters is Believable and not like a high school drama... Plot is a bit weak at times and 7 times out of 10 I was able to guess the real murderer... Last of all... Red John...he really keeps you hooked in his references and is kind of like the main antagonistic you might say... Always at the back of the mind only coming forward to torment Jane and vanishes again... Overall It's a good show and I would highly recommend it...
