I know procedurals don't get much attention here but with the lack of shows coming back this fall, wanted to see if anyone else is watching this. The premise is silly but it checks all the boxes if you enjoy this type of case of the week show. I don't find any of the characters annoying, which is a big plus. That being said, I'd be surprised if it sees a 2nd season.

This looks dumb as F@#k!!

We are enjoying the Irrational however.

Irrational has been better but also is more generic. Classic Sherlock formula of super smart guy working with the police to solve crimes.

Irrational is just such an easy watch, and so far I am enjoying the core cast (including the dude and dudette who sub-in to teach his classes) interaction with each other. I always watch when it airs on Peacock.

I am also watching this show (I think I have watched the third episode, but not this weeks yet), which is so far just all kinds of odd. I kind-of like that the lead of the show has her own Hannibal Lector type psycho chained up in her basement but it is not very realistic. It does seem that the bit after the first ep that showed what was coming up on the season hinted that at least one member of her team starts to wonder what is behind a locked door when they are in her home, but yeah...this show might spin out of control rather fast.

I’ll watched the first three episodes. Interesting but nothing special. I do like the cast though
so will stick for however long. The locked door bugs me. If you convert your basement laundry room into a dungeon why make the locks so obvious? You need a slide away bookcase or something to cover it up.

I'm watching too, but this has no chance of making to to a second season.

I started to make a post about this show a while back but I figured there would be little to no interest here at dvdtalk considering the crowd.

I was right.

So Sir was her school teacher. Then why the hell did she still call him Sir after she escaped and not just give the cops his name? Why, all these years later where he's now tied up in her basement, does she still refer to him as Sir? Hell, wouldn't she at least call him something different to disrespect him?

Some kind of conditioning or trauma dissociation mechanism or a weird Stockholm Syndrome? People deal with traumatic events differently. He was always an authority figure to her.

I mean, she has him chained up in her basement and often denies him food. That would seem like a contradiction for the character to both be OK enough to find/kidnap/hold him but not OK enough to tell anyone his real name after she escaped.

Oh I'm sure she told the police and everyone else his name. That's why they have the records of when he was spotted following her through life after she escaped. The public has to know his name and what he looks like to have that kind of dossier. I don't find it strange that both she, Lacey and the people in her company call him Sir. The police officer I'll give you. No reason there.

I don't know...the show gives me the impression that all anyone knows of him is "Sir". Like she never told anyone after she escaped that it was her teacher. Otherwise it would have been pretty easy to find him.

I can see that POV but since they are actively looking for him and have spotting him spying on Gabi they must know that he looks like. The police have a file of confirmed sighingst. I doubt they are using a sketch from Gabi's memory. It's more likely that Gabi told them that it was the teacher so they have years of photos.

They are using a sketch. They showed it in an earlier episode when that hotline to find him was set up. The cops don't know who he is outside of that sketch and Sir.

Renewed for season 2

‘Found’ and ‘The Irrational’ Both Renewed for Season 2 at NBC

Cool but I'd be very surprised if it's any good. This definitely seems like a show where the writers had a cool idea but have no idea to make it last. We know that next week the guy on her team will know that she has Sir. Unless they plan to just drop MPG and keep it as a procedural with the team finding people, I don't see how it can continue with some absurd explanation.

I don't remember that. I do remember the cop showing Gabi pictures of young her and Sir that they found at his apartment. It was when he tell her Sir was tracking her.
EDIT: Episode - "Missing While Homeless" about three minutes in.

Season 2 has been hilarious. Sir has become Batman since he escaped. Showing up and disappearing without as much as a sound. Even when he's leaving a 2nd story window of a house.

Also, funny that they continue to call him Sir when everyone now knows his real name.

I assume I'm the only one here still watching. Season 2 has been terrible. Classic case of good idea for 1 season of a show, with no plan on what to do if it succeeds and gets renewed. I can't imagine this will see a season 3.

Still watching it. I was listening to a podcast Mark-Paul last week. He mentioned season 2 was a 22 episode order. JFC. How are they going to fill that out?

Ugh, the last episode we watched (we may be one behind) had a moment that sours the show for me. The equivalent of Lost blowing up the submarine. That's where I checked out of the show, and this may not be different.



The writing has gotten to late season Lost level bad and we're only halfway through season 2.

They're setting up a reveal that Jamie was kidnapped by Zack Morris and is now his protege, right? I hope that's not the case since it seems so obvious.

I'm behind on my shows but I'm planning to watch S2.

I don't know. Jamie doesn't fit the age or intellect profile of Sir's victims. Plus Margarete had no connection to Gabbie.

True. Why else would they make Jamie such a mystery, though? Is there going to be some other serial kidnapper out there in the show's world we follow? Letting us know that whoever took him had the ability to sneak back into the house and steal the train seemed very Sir-like. They also need a reason to bring Sir back into the mix.

Of course, it all could be a red herring, and we'll find out that he just ran away and has been on his own this whole time. This show's writing isn't exactly top notch.
