Perception Premiered on TNT on July 09, 2012

In Perception, Eric McCormack plays Dr. Daniel Pierce, an eccentric neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia who is recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Pierce has an intimate knowledge of human behavior and a masterful understanding of the way the mind works. He also has an uncanny ability to see patterns and look past people's conscious emotions to see what lies beneath. Pierce's mind may be brilliant, but it's also damaged. He struggles with hallucinations and paranoid delusions brought on by his schizophrenia. Oddly, Daniel considers some of his hallucinations to be a gift. They occasionally allow him to make connections that his conscious mind can’t yet process. At other times, the hallucinations become Daniel's greatest curse, leading him to behave in irrational, potentially dangerous ways. Daniel's mental condition and offbeat manner make it difficult for him to achieve the close friendships and intimate relationships he craves. He’s in his element when solving an intricate puzzle or a coded message. But in unfamiliar situations, he can quickly become overwhelmed, and only his favorite music and a crossword puzzle have the power to make things right again. Rachael Leigh Cook co-stars as FBI agent Kate Moretti, Pierce’s former student who asks him to consult on certain cases. Unlike her colleagues, Kate is willing to look past Daniel's peculiarities. Also in Daniel's life is Max Lewicki (Arjay Smith), who serves as his teaching assistant. His primary job is to keep Pierce in line and on task, whether that means grading midterms or laying out Pierce's wardrobe for the day. And Natalie Vincent (Kelly Rowan) is Daniel's best friend and every bit his intellectual equal. In addition, award-winning actor LeVar Burton (Roots, Star Trek: The Next Generation) will play a recurring role as Paul Haley, a dean at the university and Pierce’s friend.

I was plesantly surprised with this show!  I didn't figure out who done it withint the first 20 mins.  Eric the professor's "problem" was an added drama I am going to look forward to him working through.

I really enjoyed this episode also but did you figure who was real or not i knew that women he was seeing wasn't real and that guy at the door wasn't real but the girl got me since i wasn't sure but laugh when he asked his assistant to go see if she was real.

Kate jumping off the fire escape was a little crazy and the human lie detector was a nice touch but the girl flirting and getting undressed had to be real because he was told off about the way he spoke to her outside

bala

I like this show it has potential

codebreaker

Lets hope it does better than Endgame

bala

It's on TNT they very good chance it will last few season

bala

Face blindness was interesting condition but the fact he got confused between his wife and her best friend was sad and how they planned to bleed him dry but they could of escaped quite easily all they had replace her with a doll he couldn't tell the difference .

This episode had such potential but I was bored.  . No reason.  The face guy was interesting.

codebreaker

Moretti's face when Daniel asked about the shoes was amusing and what a brilliant scam for the wife and her friend to pull on her  husband to bleed him dry

bala

Well a cold case from 1986 was nice twist to this series but figure out who it was tricky but i was impressed at women acting like a teenager it was rather convincing as a viewers most of the acting was average on this show but when you given such an difficult acting role for a grown women. I really enjoyed her performance as a teenager .

codebreaker

Moretti’s dad letting slip about her crush on Pierce was amusing and it's a good job Lacey's mother kept her room like a time capsule but what a great result after 26 years, it's a shame Lacey will have to live life like ground hog day

This has now been added to the flash site

If they can keep it up, this could be a fairly decent show, not real originally, but what is today?  Like the main characters, both real and unreal

bala

Well who would thought he figured out the message in random newspaper but trying to befriend him almost cost him his life with the package.

bala

Well imagine Joan of Arc as his guide was interesting but i had feeling it was her all along since she always plays bad guy on tv shows.

codebreaker

The brain communication was impressive and having to protect Dafoe was ironic considering what he had done but stopping the kid killing Dafoe's parents and the cops from killing him was great

codebreaker

The message he wanted Joan of Arc to send God was great but the way he made it look like he was brain dead to get her to make a move was impressive

bala

I don't know why this episode hasn't been updated but what an episode trying cure gayness was ridclous but kill him so that he and his wife could be together was ridiculous.   .

It doesn't air until August 20th because when it should of aired they showed Major Crimes instead.
