    It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

    I had been waiting for weeks for the return of Mind Games, only to do some searching today and discover it was canceled.I'm really disappointed; even though the pilot was a little rough (Clark was manic for much of the episode and it was difficult to watch after a while), I've liked the episodes since and how the characters were growing. I also like the behavioral science aspect, trying to explain how the brain makes decisions. It's unfortunate that network execs are looking for a show with a quick payoff, rather than letting the show air it's 11 episodes and give it a chance to grow. After all, how many times was Castle on the chopping block at the end of a season before it became a hit? Great work to all the cast, writers and crew who worked so hard on this show. I really appreciated it and hope to see more shows like this in the future.

    As a long time student of the very psychology this show is based on, I had _really_ high expectations. A lot of the research they quote is real, and some of the stunts they do could actually work.So - why is this not the greatest show since the Mentalist? Because it's so God damn annoying it makes you want to throw stuff at the TV.The concept of this show is so great (ok - I'm biased since I love the the psychology, but still :) and they still manage to screw it over royally. It will probably be cancelled after one season, and the premise will become "tried this, didn't work. Let's do a vampire show instead" with the TV bosses.So - not only do I hate the show - I hate that they used the idea and blew it.Well - I will continue to watch it and throw shoes at my TV.

    We are loving the show!!! Very interesting premise and lots of cool info on how the human mind works. Steve Zahn plays his role perfectly!! Love Christain Slater!!! and like that against Christain's character's normal instincts that they are helping people with what they do. Though it does make you wonder and realize that since these things are known...I'm sure these techniques are being used on us, the public all the time. as in: The only thing we did NOT LIKE was the anti-gun agenda in the last episode...but that is typical in a lot of shows...using their show to try to change viewers minds to their way of thinking. LOL! But that's what this show is about...isn't it??? Ironic.

    I stuck it out to the end, but this show is awful. It describes itself as "a little bit of science, a dash of con-artistry, plus a smattering of Jedi Mind Tricks…" Ah… no. It's two brothers, one played by Christian Slater (who I normally like) and the other by Steve Zahn who along with a couple other "team" members mainly just tell big stupid and very risky lies to manipulate a situation. Anyone with zero ethics could do the same thing. The Zahn character is bipolar and is so manic and out-of-control that the very idea that he would be a viable team member is insane. Plus he is exhausting and annoying to watch. I kept hoping he'd be killed off. He brings nothing to the table but CRAZY. I enjoy a clever ruse, but the fact that these "encounters" were successful is really not believable, nor is it clever. In one case I felt it was flat out wrong and hoped they'd fail. If you liked Leverage or Psych for their clever trickery, you probably won't like this. I didn't care for any of the characters even a little bit, whereas the Leverage and Psych characters were all enjoyable in their own well-developed ways.
