Perception: Truques da Mente

I would have to disagree with some of the posts.. Its not like the mentalist.. It reminds me of A beautiful Mind. I think its fascinating and the there is a story line. After watching last nights episode, I'm hooked, I already anxiously awaiting for next weeks last episode. I think that Eric character is extremely convincing. I predict that he will win an Emmy for this role. I also, like how the other characters are convincing enough to allow Eric role to be completely revealed. I think there is more to this storyline and we will find out next season.. I also predict that due to viewers ADD the series will only last about 3 or 4 seasons. I could watch it forever because I have always been fascinated by the human mind. I love it!

I enjoyed the show for its actors and the story lines. Never the less I always felt uncomfortable with the messages of the show. I grew up with a paranoid schizophrenic mother. Her perceptions did not give her an insight into reality. Quite the opposite. It was not manageable by her trying to control her delusions. It was delusions which did not get better over time. It made her manipulative in that her delusions would over come my family. They became unable to convince and take action. That responsibility fell on me. She was extremely abusive and she knew how to hurt you in your weakest point. This incapacitated the rest of the family. I would insist on dealing with the symptoms no matter how much she abused me. Her disorder could only be managed with medicine and she had to be hospitalized until her symptoms were under control. Always the delusions were a detriment to her. Sometimes they were terrifying. Medicine was the only thing that kept her functioning until it didn't. Then the doctors would write new prescriptions to get the symptoms under control. Her paranoid schizophrenia was not a functional condition and medicine is sometimes the only thing that keeps the patient together.

A show to fall in love with, I actually loved this pretty much, but I'm so tired of getting all the good shows ripped away from me just to make room for garbage I don't even understand why people watching.. Don't watch if you need a ending, but still amazing show.. just got cut short for no good reason.

This show is everything! I really wished they didn't cancel it, I adored it so so much!

I am currently watching this series for the first time some 7 years after its run finished and I have to day that I am delighted with what I have seen so far. Eric McCormack has never been better in anything that I have seen him in before. His character is totally believable. You would not think that the beautifully petit Rachael Leigh Cook, at 5' 2", could pass herself off as an FBI agent, but, yet again, her portrayal works so well.

Well done to all involved in this series. It is such a pity that its run didn't go beyond 2015.
