The Mentalist

What it’s about

Polina Mikhailova works as a psychologist, but her ability to read people goes beyond professional training. When she touches an object or a person, she sees fragments of their past. She keeps this gift secret and presents her insights as sharp observation. To search for her missing sister, she takes a job with the police, where she is partnered with Captain Igor Vetrov, a rational investigator who trusts only evidence. Their first cases force him to confront the inexplicable accuracy of her knowledge.

Who it’s for

Стоит посмотреть тем, кто любит истории, где сверхъестественное сталкивается с повседневной работой полиции, а отношения между героями строятся на взаимном недоверии и постепенном признании.
