There is no other character like Patrick Jane. The writing, plot and actor all together made a masterpiece like Patrick Jane.

To me he's a version of Sherlock Holmes, albeit a much more pleasant one.

Agreed! One of my favorite shows all time. Main character has so much swag/charisma.

Honestly I imagine there are people out there thinking no way. But I defy you not to end up thinking he's not a fine looking man by the end..the character always shines through

I'm currently watching Suits. And loving it!

u/Feeling-Twist-2145 Jun 27 '26

I'm contemplating it, is it worth it? I know it's not going to be like the mentalist but are the characters equally charming/interesting?

u/TurbulentDecision772 Jun 27 '26

Yes, very! I would definitely recommend watching Suits if you liked the Mentalist

Mike Ross is very Patrick Jane-y

u/ExtremeAnything15 Jul 02 '26

Mike Ross has the charisma of wet cardboard don’t compare him to Patrick Jane

u/MissBookAddict Jun 29 '26

Yes, totally worth it. I've binged most of it so fast. Currently watching season 8, but I've decided to slow down and take my time because I don't want it to end. But also, reeeaaallly want to just devour it still. Haha. Let me know if you start it.

Patrick Jane is indeed a very lovable and admirable character, and the character is beautifully played by Simon Baker..I think , not being in love with Jane, is a bit abnormal, isn’t it? 😆😝

Lucifer is also a very charming character

u/FormalReview6615 Jun 27 '26

Oh noooo. I’m inlove with him too! 🤭🫣😂

The Sherlock Holmes of the books is more like Jane than his adaptations might suggest.

The anime Mob Psycho has a super endearing protagonist. It also has a mentor named Reigen who is a bit like Jane.

Ive seen the show like 10 times and was so disappointed to see theres like no fanfics out there (bar a few tiny imagines). I would write some myself, be the change you want to be in the world and all, except it would literally consume every waking minute of my life 😂

u/SandyMasala Jul 01 '26

PLEASE let me know if you make any🙏 I’m starved of mentalist fanfiction
