Psych – drama series

Probably the first drama series that I am posting after watching all the seasons! It is under my favorite mystery/thriller genre where in 2 guys, one a good observer masquerading as a psychic and other being a pharmaceutical sales rep with a superior sense of smell, who are childhood friends, trick the Santa Barbara police department into thinking that they have psychic powers and involuntarily/voluntarily/gatecrashing the ongoing police investigations to solve crimes. The USP of the show being, the funny antics of the lead guy who plays the psychic and how his eidetic memory and keen sense of observation helps him to come out of every situation. It has very less thrill quotient, having been diluted on the comic situations, also, the analysis is wrong every first couple of times. If it is like an objective questionnaire with multiple options, the detectives select all the wrong options first and then choose the last inevitable one as the solution. The series is 8 seasons long and one common thread all throughout is the carefree/careless attitude and the kiddish antics and tantrums of the 2 detectives. In fact, it reminds of all our tamil heroes who are surrounded by friends on all scenes. Mostly they would be wastrels, leeching on their friends/parents/lover, but would be loved by all for having a heart of gold!! Ditto goes for the psychic hero in this series. All he does is eat and sleep when he has no murder to solve. The heroine, the police detective, looks a million bucks cute. She has been specifically chosen on this team going by her young girlish looks I guess as it goes with the theme of the casting. The series finale was very touching and was almost like a tamil movie playing with foreigners and English subtitles. I would pick Monk, Mentalist and even Dr.House over this any day for the thrill quotient. But it does grows on you in its own idiotically funny way.
