The eleventh episode of The Irrational finally focused solely on the church bombing case that had haunted Mercer since the first episode. After a lot of ups and downs, culminating in the killing of Wes Banning, the series now had to get into who Matthias truly was. Jace had been left to die in the previous episode until Marisa found him in her house, and there was this additional angle of surveillance in the house. There was someone listening in on all of Marisa’s conversations, but she wasn’t aware of the fact that her house had been bugged. The episode got into it all and more as Mercer got closer to catching Matthias and solving the case.

Alec Mercer, the suave behavioral scientist of the show The Irrational, is back, and he has yet another case to solve. Last time we met him, he was dating Rose while solving a case, of course. But in episode 8, we learn that Rose has gone to Paris. So our behavioral scientist is alone, and when a case pops up, he falls back on Marisa, his ex-wife, for help. The case makes him deal with his past traumas, and only Mercer can tell if he has truly dealt with them. The old church bombing case is also brought up, but it seems that it will take much more than Mercer’s efforts to solve it.

The Irrational — Jesse L. Martin as Alec Mercer — (Photo by: Sergei Bachlakov/NBC) Having filmed several of its episodes prior to the start of last year’s Hollywood strikes, The Irrational was one of the few new network television shows to debut during the fall season. It was able to build up enough of a following so that, once the strikes ended, more episodes were ordered, and the show’s already been renewed for a second season on NBC. Jesse L. Martin, who stars in the behavioral crime procedural, said he’s really excited about both the Season 2 pickup and the extra episodes added onto the first season, because that means the show will be able to come up with what he’s sure will be an amazing season finale.

The fact that both shows had episodes filmed prior to the start of the broadcast season was a boon for NBC, allowing it to air new scripted series as many of its rivals pivoted to reality series and licensed programming as a result of the dual strikes.
The Irrational has aired seven episodes of its first season and has four more to go starting on Monday January 29 at 10pm. It is currently back in production on those episodes.
Found has currently aired nine episodes with two more to air before the end of the year. It will return on January 9 for its final two episodes of the season and has already finished production on those.

Some things take time, and it is a lesson worth remembering.
When The Irrational Season 1 premiered, its biggest shortcoming was that it did nothing for the characters. They were strangers who happened to be good at solving crimes. We knew nothing about them.
Throughout the season, the show has been trying to fill the gaps in certain aspects of the characters' lives, and The Irrational Season 1 Episode 7 was quite different from other episodes.
For the first time, the show focused on developing relationships between characters, as Mercer went on an atypical date with Rose while Kylie and Marisa tried to rekindle their friendship.
Even if events happened on those two fronts, the art case dominated most of Rose and Mercer's time together. We are not getting a balanced episode with character development and exciting cases.
However, as long as the show delivers good cases, it's Ok.

Well, this might be the best way to either get to know someone — or ensure it’ll be the last time these two people spend time together. In the November 6 episode of The Irrational, Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) convinces corporate fixer Rose Dinshaw (guest star Karen David) to go on a 24-hour long first date with him, and TV Insider has an exclusive sneak peek at the beginning of it. Alec does get off to a good start, giving her tulips (“I figure you get a lot of roses”) and thanking her for joining him. “Anything for science,” she says, adding, “though a 24-hour date experiment might be the most convoluted excuse a man has used to get me into bed.” Alec insists “that’s not the objective,” explaining, “Anyone can make a good impression over an hour or two after a couple cocktails, and technically this isn’t an experiment,...

Someone who has never experienced living without government papers can never entirely understand the challenges that come with it.
Everything people take for granted, like access to financial, medical, and education services, even at the most basic level, becomes impossible.
And when an undocumented person goes missing, where does a government that doesn't acknowledge that person exists begin?
Gabi and her team picked such a case on Found Season 1 Episode 5 as they investigated the disappearance of Satcha, a young Colombian dreamer who had fallen in with the wrong crowd.
But before that, we should do due diligence and address that surprising cold open.

The sixth episode of The Irrational brings yet another interesting case for Alec Mercer to solve, but this time, the case also brings the focus back to Mercer’s own insecurities and issues with being vulnerable and empathetic to a situation, apart from the usual academic reading of someone’s behavior. The Irrational Episode 6 begins with Marisa investigating further in the church bombing case, and she too gets a heads up about the ‘optics’ of the case, where she may be seen in a bad light given that she is solving her ex-husband’s case with his own help. Her budding relationship with her FBI colleague, Jace, is also brought into question. The rest of the characters take a back seat, except Mercer’s sister, Kylie. She becomes the beating heart of the story as she fights to help his friend Mason get justice for the wrongful death of his husband Joshua,...

We'd lost you for a short minute there!
After how disappointing the preceding case-centric episode of The Irrational was, the show's feel turned on The Irrational Season 1 Episode 6.
It has been a thrilling ride with many twists in many episodes of Season 1 and enjoyable. However, not everything can be one thing, and this episode was proof of that.
It seemed like they were gunning for a certain feel and to evoke emotions, and they were successful in that.
The cases that Mercer takes are usually personal on some level, but Mason's was even more personal because it came from a heartfelt appeal by Kylie.
Using the case, Mercer exposed many issues in the justice system, but among them was bias.
He showed how bias can get someone injured, jailed, or even worse, killed like Joshua.
It is almost impossible to eliminate bias from people, but making them aware that...

Alec Mercer absolutely hates testifying as an expert witness, but he does so for a very good cause in this week’s The Irrational.
Monday’s episode finds Jesse L. Martin’s character hitting the courtroom to help a friend of Kylie’s whose husband was killed in his home when police accidentally — or so they say — stormed the wrong house. The cops have Dr. Dustin Atwood (played by The Resident‘s Malcolm-Jamal Warner) on their side, a morally dubious character who “never met a police shooting he couldn’t justify,” Alec sneers.

Fortunately for Hill, she spoke about (Before SAG/AFTRA Strike) Martin’s skill and generosity as an actor has taken what could have been an awkward work relationship and made it a very comfortable relationship.

Months before Found made good on NBC’s decision to move it from a midseason to fall premiere, its creator Nkechi Okoro Carroll and star/producer Shanola Hampton, best known for Shameless, could hardly contain their enthusiasm. “I knew I wanted to do in my next project something that had meaning or purpose,” the Shameless star revealed during a set visit in Atlanta late February.
Since its Oct. 3 premiere on the heels of The Irrational — another NBC procedural starring Jesse L. Martin as celebrated behavioral science professor Alec Mercer, who helps solve high-stakes cases with his expertise in psychology, body language and other areas — Found has drawn millions of fans, reportedly becoming “Peacock’s best launch to date.” Hampton’s Gabi Mosley is a D.C.-based recovery specialist and master crisis manager leading a diverse team — most of whom, like her, were kidnapped — as they find missing people from marginalized groups.

The fifth episode of The Irrational plays much more in goofy territory as compared to the previous ones. There is no murder or kidnapping to solve for Alec Mercer, but a simple poker cheating scandal. By bringing the stakes down, the show, quite surprisingly, hits the right tone, which accommodates all the psychological jargon quite nicely. The previous episodes had something very serious going on at times, where Mercer explaining the ‘zero-sum’ bias or some other phenomenon felt a little out of place. Here, there is a threat of something nasty happening, but the tone is nicely balanced to reassure us that it never will, and we can sit back and enjoy Mercer cracking the case through his knowledge and acute observational skills.

Why Did Mercer Get The Call?
If Mercer found himself fatigued or he had just solved a case, he expected a few minutes of calm.

He usually uses his insight to solve crimes, but Professor Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) is now being challenged to dig deep into a Vegas cheating scheme on an upcoming episode of NBC‘s The Irrational.
The Irrational follows Alec Mercer, who taps into his behavioral psychology insight to help law enforcement tackle high-stakes crimes. His insight and unconventional approach to understanding human behavior lead him and the team on a series of intense, unexpected journeys to solve illogical puzzles and perplexing mysteries. The show is based on best-selling author Dan Ariely’s book, “Predictably Irrational.”
In the episode titled, “Lucky Charms” Alec moves into new territory. He receives a phone call from Camille, one of his former students who is now an expert poker player. She shares her suspicions that one of the players has been cheating ahead of a high-risk tournament – and she needs Alec to help her with more than her game.

The fourth episode of The Irrational is out now, and it features yet another interesting case for Alec Mercer to solve. In this episode, we get to see more of Wes Banning as well, who is the only suspect the FBI has in the church bombing case. Mercer was knee-deep in responsibilities, so he delegated a few of them, like teaching his class and grading his students, to Rizwan. While Mercer solved the new case, he picked up on an interesting phenomenon of human psychology known as the “zero-sum bias,” which became pivotal in understanding the case. The show becomes Sherlock-esque in nature, becoming reluctant to depart from the overused deduction skills, but overall, the performances and fast-paced writing keep the show afloat. Here is a recap of The Irrational Episode 4.

The third episode of the new series The Irrational was a bit of a dud as compared to the other episodes. Sure, Alec Mercer’s original case, i.e., the Church Bombing case, got some impetus, but overall, the case Mercer had to solve in this episode lacked the twists and turns we have come to expect with The Irrational. Nevertheless, Alec Mercer remains a charming and dependable character with no rough edges. The last thing we want in the series is an angsty protagonist. The case was technically much bigger than Mercer had solved, but strangely, the stakes seemed low. Let’s take a look at the recap of Mercer and his world, where he is required by his wife Marisa to help the FBI solve a case.

What Was Mercer’s New Case?
In the previous episode, Mercer had remembered something about the church bombing case that happened 19 years ago.
