Psych

What viewers say

Viewers watch this detective comedy mainly for the quick pop-culture banter and real friendship between the fake-psychic hero and his best friend, and critics rate the show highly. Fans praise the charming goofy lead, the father-son thread and the humor, and many say the early seasons are the strongest. Criticisms include mysteries that are often cheesy or predictable, a hero who rarely thanks his friend or faces consequences for his lies, characters simplified in later seasons, and humor that grew cruder over time. Parents mention dead bodies with little blood, mild language, heavy flirting and some innuendo, and see it as a fit for older tweens and teens.

Best for: Viewers who want a light, funny crime-solving duo and care more about banter than clever puzzles.
