Clark (Steve Zahn) and Ross (Christian Slater) Edwards are brothers and partners in a unique agency committed to solving clients’ problems using the hard science of psychological manipulation. Clark is a former professor and a world-renowned expert in the field of human behavior. He has a checkered history due to bipolar disorder, which sometimes results in quirky, manic episodes. His older brother Ross is a slick con man who spent time in prison. Each in their own way knows what makes people tick.  Drawing from the most cutting edge research in psychology, they can a tailor a plan to influence any situation. It’s a little bit science, a little bit con artistry plus a smattering of Jedi mind tricks. The brothers, along with their team of master manipulators are offering clients an alternative to fate.

Mind Games stars Steve Zahn (Treme) as Clark, Christian Slater (True Romance) as Ross, Megalyn Echikunwoke (CSI: Miami) as Megan, Cedric Sanders (The Social Network) as Latrell, Gregory Marcel (The Good Shepherd) as Miles and Wynn Everett (The Newsroom) as Claire.

I think it's got more of a Leverage feel with a Lie to me twist
But the brother's manipulating is gonna come back to bite him in the ass for sure.

I agree his manipulation will come back and bite him but the question is how will he find out if both of planning keep their mouth shut ?.

I'm impressed they managed to coerce the insurance company into paying for an experimental medical procedure on the young boy but as an insurance I'm not surprised they tried to change their mind and if they have to go this far every time it will feel a little like Leverage

I cant believe they lost Jim his job by getting Cathy her promotion but her tuning the job down without Jim was nice as they both got to work for a new firm

Trying to retrieve the couple's daughter from the cult was interesting as the leader was one step ahead of them all the time but hypnotising her to make up her own mind was impressive and I had a feeling Claire would figure out the pet rock

Who would of thought that the negative article would create so much business and change a senator mind was great

Clark having mental breakdown almost mess up the case and beth thinking she can look after him was more challenging than she ever thought . I am glad they managed to make the guy whistleblow

The congressman's son asking the team to change his father's mind was interesting as in doing what he wanted would spoil their relationship but fixing their relationship as well was nice

Clark suffering a meltdown was bound to happen sooner or later but the timing sucked with the whistle-blower case was in jeopardy and the fact his pesonal life had spiralled out of control was sad but with that cliffhanger I hop the cancelled episodes get aired

A client asking the team to break up with his mistress was amusing because trying to make it look like he was bad guy didn't take too much work .

Clark meeting with Beth parents went as well expected but trying to change subject didn't work because Beth video of him losing control made things worse.

So glad he punched him he deserved it for switching Clark's pills but giving him a choice was great

This was tough and emotional case which had difficult choice since would baby be better with adopted parent or drug addict teenager who actually became clean as result of the baby realise without the baby she would fall back into become a drug addict .

I liked framed episode with clark telling therapist about the case and way he kept question the situation with regards to his condition whether positive or negative  effect on his life.

Not a great episode but Sam playing a con on her friend is bad

Helping aged boxer win the fight was great and techiques were very amusing
Author: bala    Time: 11-15-2014 09:40     Subject: 1x10 N.D.E

So Sam decides to do right thing and not steal the money but finding out her friend had been setting it up for 6 weeks made her realise he was using her and this leads to exit from the series which was a good choice since series got cancelled.

So much for it being Sam's last episode they found her and now they are focing miles to help them with a problem
Author: bala    Time: 11-16-2014 08:11     Subject: 1x12 As God Is My Witness

The problem was making a priest not testify against gangster son and it was good plan and Clark being told the situation made things interesting because he decided fire the team in hope that they won't get invloved with the situation as plan got together Clark finds out that his girlfriend was a plant by Miles making the whole plan go up in smoke i am not surprised he lost it at end of the episode consider he thinking of proposing to her
Author: bala    Time: 11-16-2014 08:15     Subject: 1x13 Balloon Boy

This was a fantastic series finale and i am happy to inform you it didn't end in a cliffhanger which is great and what a way to go out making gangster son to confess to the beating doing double con at the same time   .
