The Mentalist is a good pick if you want a detective story you can watch one episode at a time. Simon Baker plays Patrick Jane, a former television psychic who consults for the California Bureau of Investigation. The show, which began in 2008, appeared in JustWatch India’s top 10 during our November check.

Why the pilot is the right place to begin
The pilot introduces the two threads that shape the show. In the case of the week, Jane watches how people react, tests their stories and pushes them into revealing what they know. The longer thread is personal: his pursuit of the killer known as Red John. The case gives you a complete mystery for the evening, while the Red John story gives you a reason to keep watching in order.
Pay attention to the exchanges between Jane and Teresa Lisbon, played by Robin Tunney. His willingness to improvise creates much of the tension, and Lisbon has to decide how far to let him go while keeping the investigation on track. If that dynamic works for you in the pilot, you have seven seasons to explore.
