I just finished watching Episode 1 of Season 2 of Will Trent. It was enjoyable, but partially through it I realized that it reminded me of another show from a few years back, “The Mentalist.” And, I couldn’t remember the name of the older show, even though I have referenced the opening segment of that show, as enjoying it immensely and saying to myself, “I’m going to like this.” And, I did like it for several seasons until the evil “Red John” character got killed off, and then we found out it wasn’t the “real” Red John. Once that happened I felt betrayed. I realized that I would be forever at the mercy of the writer(s) and that no matter what happened, it could always be changed. If I couldn’t trust, then there was no need to continue watching. If I had been watching “Dallas” when they revealed that the entire previous season had just been a dream, I would have felt so betrayed.

I liked the first season of Will Trent. But, now that I see the similarities with the Mentalist, I’m sure I won’t be invested in the second season. Oh well.
