tv Perception (TNT Drama)

[Rappy Veteran]

In Perception, Eric McCormack plays Dr. Daniel Pierce, an eccentric neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia who is recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Pierce has an intimate knowledge of human behavior and a masterful understanding of the way the mind works. He also has an uncanny ability to see patterns and look past people's conscious emotions to see what lies beneath.

Pierce's mind may be brilliant, but it's also damaged. He struggles with hallucinations and paranoid delusions brought on by his schizophrenia. Oddly, Daniel considers some of his hallucinations to be a gift. They occasionally allow him to make connections that his conscious mind can?t yet process. At other times, the hallucinations become Daniel's greatest curse, leading him to behave in irrational, potentially dangerous ways.

Daniel's mental condition and offbeat manner make it difficult for him to achieve the close friendships and intimate relationships he craves. He?s in his element when solving an intricate puzzle or a coded message. But in unfamiliar situations, he can quickly become overwhelmed, and only his favorite music and a crossword puzzle have the power to make things right again.

Rachael Leigh Cook co-stars as FBI agent Kate Moretti, Pierce?s former student who asks him to consult on certain cases. Unlike her colleagues, Kate is willing to look past Daniel's peculiarities. Also in Daniel's life is Max Lewicki (Arjay Smith), who serves as his teaching assistant. His primary job is to keep Pierce in line and on task, whether that means grading midterms or laying out Pierce's wardrobe for the day. And Natalie Vincent (Kelly Rowan) is Daniel's best friend and every bit his intellectual equal. In addition, award-winning actor LeVar Burton (Roots, Star Trek: The Next Generation) will play a recurring role as Paul Haley, a dean at the university and Pierce?s friend.

I really liked it, a bit different from other cop shows where they get help from outside

This is one stupid ass show. I watched the Pilot today. I'm not watching another episode, there was nothing original about this show.

This wasn't that bad, will be watching it next week, etc.

No, But for some reason I watched 2 1/2 seasons of Rookie Blue in 1 week.

yes she does have nice ######,

but the show is also easy to watch, acting is good, and it doesn't put me to sleep.

I am still enjoying this series

Agreed. It is actually quite dull. And I can't take Rachael Leigh Cook seriously as an FBI agent.

Me too, after watching the first 3 episodes. It's a police procedural so nothing new and I'm used to suspending disbelief (trained by Leverage :D ).

I've only seen it once, but have liked it so far. We'll see how the writing holds up.

Has anyone else seen this week's episode? This is, I think, their best, by far, this season.

(Season finale is next week)

Yeah I loved it, didn't know what was real and what wasn't, next weeks looks good as well

[Baines]

I agree, the last episode was phenomenal. This show has really exceeded my expectations.

[Rappy Veteran]

Great first episode back, it's a good show but it seems so long since it was on!

Loved the first episode as well. Moretti looks hotter this season.
