The Mentalist and the Citroen DS

Post by Jan-hendrik » Fri Dec 03, 2010 9:36 am

I like watching The Mentalist and in S03E07 Red Hot we get brief but nice shots of Patrick Jane's DS :D Anyone here watching the series?

A clever bit of casting; the car I mean. It really fits with the idiosyncratic charcter of Jane. His colleagues don't really "get" him.

Nearly every episode has had at least a glimpse of it through all 3 series. That episode did have better/lengthier shots than many though. I agree about the casting - it fits perfectly.

just heard theres a possibility of a new series even though the main storyline seems to have come to an end.

Really enjoyed the series, and the last 3 episodes were nicely tied together, although to me they felt rushed, like they had been told to wrap it up.

Nice to see the yanks displaying a bit of class for once...

Now they want to feature an XM as well, now that would be good...

There were only about 13 XM sold in the USA but a company called CXM. They were never sold by Citroen.
