Synopsis

Clark and Ross Edwards are brothers and partners in a unique agency committed to solving clients’ problems using the hard science of psychological manipulation. Clark is a former professor and a world-renowned expert in the field of human behavior. He has a checkered history due to bipolar disorder, which sometimes results in quirky, manic episodes. His older brother Ross is a slick con man who spent time in prison. Each in their own way knows what makes people tick. Drawing from the most cutting edge research in psychology, they can a tailor a plan to influence any situation. It’s a little bit science, a little bit con artistry plus a smattering of Jedi mind tricks. The brothers, along with their team of master manipulators are offering clients an alternative to fate.

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
afijamesy2k Christian slater has not had a good TV show and/or movie in years and he fails us once again with this lame pathetic and abysmal attempt about a man who has bipolar disorder and the rest is history, the story is just completely terrible, the acting is wooden, the teleplay is a big time and the only reason people watch this is because of the title that is all, when I Look at shows like this it makes me wanna puke so badly, Steve zahn looks like he's lost in this thing and he brings nothing new to the screen, the story goes nowhere, this show is pathetic and it should be cancelled thankfully, for a better TV show about the same theme see amazing stories.This junk gets a D+ and one of the year's worst TV.
Andrew Abbott I thought this was better than any of the other garbage on TV. I actually looked forward to Tuesday nights, now that they canceled this, and with Faceoff season ending soon, there is absolutely nothing on TV. To the actors and writers of this show, you guys did a great job, I'm sorry I liked your show because that's the easiest way to get canceled. I'll just add this to the list of shows I liked that got canceled, Happy Endings, Outsourced, The Cape, and I'm sure some more I can't think of right now. Goodbye TV, you are officially worthless. And for some reason I have to make this review 10 lines for IMDb to accept it, which makes total sense, because 8 lines would just be a stupid review.
ADtheThird The premise of the show sounded REALLY amazing to me- Leverage with a bit of The Mentalist, House of Lies and a few other elements taken from other TV Shows- I was in for a good ride... I was mistaken.The pilot was fairly decent. Introduced the brothers and a bit of the back story to get the viewers interested in the characters themselves. It was very loud and chaotic but not too much that it would make the show seem completely unwatchable.... and then I watched the second episode, well, part of it at least; I don't think I can finish it.There is just TOO much chaos. The eccentric and bipolar brother is just completely out there, very loud and obnoxious to the point where you start to feel embarrassed for the rest of the cast. It's completely ridiculous! So much broken glass, unorganized schemes that go nowhere because one of the brothers completely ruins it and all in all, just a bunch of chaos. I'd stay away from this one. I'm going to try to finish the second episode but I doubt I'll make it through it.
David Hauser While the last series with Christian Slater I watched (Breaking In) crashed and burned after a fabulous first season, I sure do hope that it won't this time. It is a promising and intriguing set up for a hopefully great first season. The whole dynamic between the to brothers - one borderline insane, the other an ex-con with truth issues - and the ex wife of said con artist who is beginning to develop feelings for the bipolar brother creates a whole lot of future possibilities. Add to that the sudden appearance of the "lost" girlfriend of the bipolar brother and you got yourself one hell of an emotional roller coaster. Moreover the idea of altering or influencing behavior of people in order to make them act the way you want them to is fascinating. Many shows before have benefited a lot from some form of mind/behavior controlling features (the early "The Mentalist", "Lie to me" etc.) so it stands to reason that it will do the same for "Mind Games"; at least if the creators of this promising show are able to keep up the balance between humorous and more sincere parts, between personal matters and the business part. The only fear I have so far is that the supporting actors will fade too much compared to the to brothers and the ex wife, since they don't seem to have that many connecting points to the main characters (or at least so far). Nonetheless this is one of my favorites this year and I strongly believe it will keep the level they set with the pilot maybe even exceed it!
