Honestly, I was disappointed when Bertram was revealed as Red John, which is the only thing that made Sheriff McCallister actually being the killer satisfying; bc he made slightly more sense… but really, short of making it the obvious choice (Bret Stiles) which would have been disappointing in its own right, I really think the best play would have been to never give closure to that part of the story (have red John die before being revealed or something)… or at least make it a character we don’t know much about… bc the mythos of the character was built up so much that there was never going to be someone that matched up to it. He was just too perfect and too charming and too smart. No one could possibly believe that McCallister would be able to charm and manipulate all of those people to do his bidding so far as to kill or commit suicide for him. It just wasn’t believable at all… the first fake red John (Timothy Carter) made the most sense and honestly would have been the most satisfying Red John, but they just NEEDED to draw that storyline out a couple more seasons… it’s probably my biggest gripe with an otherwise very very good series. If you can suspend your disbelief about what mentalism is and isn’t really, the show is very entertaining and well cast… also decently written. Even the last two seasons, which feels like it has a completely different show runner, as the vibe, look, and feel of the show shift to more glitzy, up-tempo, big bang shenanigans, with much more high-stakes scenarios, worked for me. All in all a highly enjoyable show from beginning to end.
Well I'd be glad if they had gone for the obvious choice. It was built up for several episodes and made a lot of sense. And, that's like they always say throughout the show: most of the times the most obvious suspect is the killer. Bret Stiles was the only one with the charisma, the cult, the resources, the money and the cleverness to pull off RJ's actions. Either he was RJ or they could've brought someone else we never saw but that would feel really disappointing at least IMHO. But thank GOD they didn't do the BS of "oh he died and we don't know who he was" because that just... cheap. Anyway, stopped watching immediately after 6x08 since wife and me were already super tired after 100 episodes of the same formula (killer is never obvious, Jane's always right, etc.) and only wanted to see how would they explain the RJ situation since he did many unbelievable stuff during the show (like getting to Mexico faster than the freaking police to kill that guy Jane took out of jail) so they'd need to be really clever to build a character so powerful to live the hype that was created. And, in the end, like most shows who promise a lot from someone or something (like Lost and Mr Robot, for example), they delivered nothing, chose an insignificant stupid Sheriff to be the most genius killer of all times and got him killed without ANY QUESTIONS when they had 14 more episodes to explore that if they wanted to. Really, I think I was never so angry about a show like I am with this one right now.
@@ocreyy fr the arc paid off but goes w/o saying Red John overstay its' welcome. The series already capable of branching mini arcs like psycho Billionaire vs Libson but because of tv status-quo they can't risk it.
@@Alucard2091 I think RJ was poorly finished and poorly executed. IMHO the writers lost themselves into their own lore and need to create plot twists so the ending was absolutely disappointing to me. The rest of the show, RJ aside, was pretty average after 2nd season. It's super fun to see Jane in action, but after more than 50 episodes it gets boring really fast, specially when you understand that if the show is 40min long we'll not be catching the killer before min 30.
I think this is the most interesting show ever made. Great characters,story, everything.
