About this show

In "PERCEPTION", Eric McCormack plays Dr. Geoffrey Pierce, an eccentric neuroscientist who uses his unique outlook and expertise to help the federal government crack difficult cases. Pierce's intimate knowledge of human behavior and masterful understanding of the mind are matched by his equally odd and imaginative view of the world. Cook co-stars as FBI agent Kate Rossi, Pierce's former student and the person responsible for recruiting him to work for the government. Smith plays Max Lewicki, Pierce's teaching assistant who has spent nine years at college. Rowan is Natalie Vincent, Pierce's best friend and every bit his intellectual equal.

I'm a little scared to watch these episodes, because I know that I'm going to get attached to the show, and, it seems that every time I get attached to a show, it gets canceled. And, I like this show WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much to want it to get canceled. Because it is *awesome.* Too often, we're given protagonists who are More Than Men, in their perfection - especially in the mystery genre. Even when they're shown as anti-heroes, you *still* end up with Ubermen. But in this show, the protagonist is a very flawed man, due to his mental illness. It's utterly fascinating. And, even as they show the difficulty of living with a mental disorder, they aren't being insulting to those with mental disorders, which is a very hard balancing act. Like I said, I'm utterly entranced with this one.

I usually give most new shows a watch. Especially the summer series as there is little else on in the way of "decent" to watch. Perception is one of those fantastically written and acted shows. The fact the main character suffers from a mental disorder makes this show fascinating. It's witty, well crafted and brilliantly executed. So if you are looking for a "smart" drama to watch, I highly recommend Perception. Enjoy!

This show I found by accident on Play. I have loved every episode. Not sure about Rachel Leigh Cook's character yet; there needs to be a tighter orbit between her character's and Eric's.
