Reviews
MovieGuys
The Irrational is in the same vein as a lot of other production line, US crime dramas. Its style and approach, being very similar to series like Criminal Minds and NCIS.
That is to say, its lightweight escapism, with a "who dunnit" punchline. So far I'm four episodes in and still enjoying myself. A little woke nonsense but not too in your face or OTT.
In summary, a lightweight,fun US crime drama that's perfect for those in between hours, where you just need something a little diverting.
You've reached the end.
