Review: Psych

One of USA Network’s hit summer TV shows is back for a new season. “Psych” stars James Roday as Shawn Spencer, a guy who pretends he is a psychic and is taken on by the Santa Barbara Police’s as their “Psychic Detective”.

In actuality, Shawn’s ability of attention to detail along with his photographic memory makes it easy for people to believe he is an actual psychic.

One guy who definitely knows Shawn isn’t a psychic is his best friend Gus, played by Dule Hill.

Gus juggles a job in pharmaceutical sales while helping Shawn solve crimes. Shawn also works with officers Juliet O’Hara and Carlton Lassiter. Carlton, or as Shawn calls him “Lassie,” doubts Shawn is a real psychic and tries to prove he is a fraud in every episode.

What’s great about “Psych” is its ability to mix in comedy while being true to itself as a crime-mystery show.

Coming into its fourth season August 7, expect the same funny antics of Shawn and Gus as they continue to solve crimes.
