Thanks to his police officer father's efforts, Shawn Spencer spent his childhood developing a keen eye for detail (and a lasting dislike of his dad). Years later, Shawn's frequent tips to the police lead to him being falsely accused of a crime he solved. Now, Shawn has no choice but to use his abilities to perpetuate his cover story: psychic crime-solving powers, all the while dragging his best friend, his dad, and the police along for the ride.
Psych is a crime series that never takes its cases fully seriously: the pace is brisk, the banter is quick and packed with pop culture references, and nearly every scene goes for a laugh. The chemistry between the two best friends carries the show, and the case of the week is more frame than focus. In between come silly running gags and nods to the eighties.
Good for you if you like crime shows where humor and friendship matter more than dark suspense.
