If imitation is the best form of flattery, then Psyche should should be very flattered today. There are small (very small) differences made to keep the producers from getting sued but the idea is a rip off and the execution is poor. The premise of a guy with a good memory for detail? Fine so he's an ex-cop (isn't there one in Psyche too?) and the guy on Psytche isn't. Also this guy shows a prejudice streak about people that can only be found in the real world at the Republican National Convention. That's about all the most original part of the whole show. The casting of Simon Baker shows only an airhead looking actor can play this part. The smirk he wears the whole time is directed at the audience for believing this is a new original idea. Instead of watching this trash, rent the first season of Psyche on DVD or read a good book. And don't let Simon Baker know the name of the book or he'll find an overblown stereotype that you'll fit in.
