Fans of 00s TV shows have recently been buzzing about a hidden gem that ran for eight seasons. Viewers on Netflix are urging others to give this comedy-drama a chance, as it seems to have flown under the radar for many. Some have even compared it to the hype that surrounded the revival of Suits. So, if you have any social plans this weekend, you might want to cancel them and spend some time catching up on the detective programme Psych.
Originally airing in 2006, the series follows Shawn Spencer, a consultant for the Santa Barbara Police Department who uses his psychic abilities to solve crimes. He is joined by his intelligent and reluctant partner Gus, as well as his former detective father Henry. On Reddit, one user declared that Psych is "soo good" but "not talked about enough." Others have shared their love for the show, saying that their eyes were glued to the screen while watching it.
"I recently got into it after obsessing over The Mentalist and it's so good I can't believe every time I tell people about it they've never heard of it," one viewer raved. "It was supposed to be a silly background watch, but now my eyes are glued to the screen. The comedy and humor are brilliant. Shawn and Gus' '1 brain cell' dynamic is truly the backbone of the show and just hilarious. Their brotherhood is unmatched. I love all the characters, the growth of Shawn, the slow romance/chemistry between Jules and Shawn, and the entire cast is so talented. This show deserves the same revival hype as Suits. I just needed to talk about it. I love the chaos and how morally ambiguous messy Shawn is."
Another user compared the impact of Psych on the procedural crime genre to the influence of the legendary comedy Community on sitcoms. "They're both incredible in their own right, but play on the meta tropes of the genre through fun, engaging, and satisfying narratives," they shared. "It borders on irreverence, but takes itself just seriously enough to be more than an extended parody sketch. And of course, Shawn and Gus rule the show."
Created by showrunner Steve Frank for the USA Network, Psych aired for eight seasons and 120 episodes until 2014. However, it seems to be captivating viewers even a decade after it ended. And if you manage to devour all of Psych, there are plenty of other shows on Netflix to binge-watch. Recently, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story has been causing a stir since its release on the platform. This drama focuses on the infamous murder of Jose and Kitty Menendez by their two sons in 1989 and the intense interest in the case that followed in the years after.
For a lighter option, you can tune into what some have called "the best sitcom of the last five years" on Netflix UK. Bafta-nominated comedy Breeders follows parents Paul and Ally as they navigate the challenges of parenthood with two young kids and full-time careers.
In case you were wondering, Psych is available to stream on Netflix in the UK and on Peacock in the US. So, do yourself a favor and give it a watch. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to share it with the entertainment team at The Agency.
