TV Tuesday: The Irrational
Book By Book
While most cable shows had a delayed “fall” season that is only just starting now (due to the strikes), a few new shows did start on time in the fall. Our favorite is The Irrational, a crime show with a behavioral scientist at its center.
Jesse L. Martin plays Alec Mercer, a behavioral scientist at a university in D.C. Alec teaches and has two grad students working with him: Pheobe, played by Molly Kunz, and Rizwan, played by Arash DeMaxi. His ex-wife, Marisa (played by Maahra Hill), works for the FBI, and Alec’s sister, Kylie (played by Travina Springer), is a brilliant computer expert who lives with him. Marisa often asks Alec to consult on a case–and sometimes Kylie and/or the grad students get involved, too–so there is usually a new case to solve in each episode. But there is also an ongoing story thread about the terrible burn scars on Alec’s face. He got those scars (and spent months in the hospital, with serious burns over much of his body) many years ago, when a bomb was set off in a church. One man was convicted of the crime, but Alec and Marisa suspect there was someone else behind it who was never caught. The bombing left Alec with emotional scars as well as physical, and Marisa and her FBI partner are still looking into the cold case.
Like any crime show, each episode involves a new case, so there is always something new and different going on. Alec’s unique talents in behavioral science provide fascinating insights into victims, witnesses, and criminals that are helpful to the FBI. In each show, though, the viewer also learns more about Alec and the bombing that so traumatized him. The secondary characters are also further explored and fleshed out. Martin is outstanding in the lead role, and his co-stars are all excellent. The writing is fresh, with a sense of humor, and the cases are interesting. There is suspense and a mystery in each new episode, plus the ongoing mystery of the bombing. My husband and I have really been enjoying this show. We’ll watch the final episode of its first season tonight, and we were excited to hear that it’s been renewed for a second season.
The Irrational is an NBC show, so it’s available On Demand if you have cable or on NBC.com (all episodes still available free for all right now) or on Peacock. It’s also available on Amazon.
