The Mentalist trivia works because the series runs two tracks simultaneously — a procedural case-of-the-week format and a long serial mystery in Red John — giving questions a wide range of angles from light character moments to deeply serialised lore. Patrick Jane's charm and methods make him one of the more distinctive protagonists in crime TV.
A strong The Mentalist quiz can include Patrick Jane's past as a fake psychic, Teresa Lisbon, the CBI team of Rigsby, Van Pelt and Cho, the Red John investigation spanning all seven seasons, key Red John suspects, Jane's gold star habit, his caravan on the CBI roof, the Texas FBI period, Jane and Lisbon's relationship, and the resolution of the Red John storyline.
