My three roommates are infatuated with the TV show Psych. As one roommate received a Season of 'Pysch' for Christmas it is frequently playing in our apartment. So for roommate bonding time I decided to join in.
The show appears to be a mystery comedy, with two men as the main stars- Shawn and Gus. Both work for the Crime Department and solve mysteries together as a pair. Unlike a typical crime scene investigation show, this one includes a new element as Shawn is a psychic. His character is witty through both his language and actions, making him a likable character.
Overall the show provided some good laughs. With the characters being at such ease, it took the edge off the fact that a murder had actually taken place. Both Shawn and Gus, have a friendly easy going relationship that I liked as well.
This show can potentially be harmful as viewers are seeing a show that involves around crime and associates it with humor. Combining these two topics (crime and humor), can make viewers less immune to the actual horrors of crime.
I love Psych! I'm so excited for it to start up again in a few weeks. You made an interesting point about combining crime and humor, though. I think crime shows in general can make us more immune to the horrors of crime because they just portray it like it's normal.
ReplyDeleteI love Psych too! My husband got me watching it last season and showed me the episodes from the first few seasons too. I love how Gus is more uptight and Shawn always forces him to relax. They complement each other well. I also like the more light-hearted approach to it. I think Psych makes me want to be more observant because that is how he always solves the crimes. So I have just one question for you guys: "How many hats are in the room?"
