F is for Fraud (Psych)


Our next detective is clearly pretending to be someone he's not! 'Psych' is an American comedy TV series starring James Roday as Shawn Spencer, a young crime consultant for the Santa Barbara Police Department. Shawn is the son of a cop, his father Henry (Corbin Bernsen) having trained him as a child in observation and deduction.

One day Shawn contacts the police with a tip on a crime covered on the news. They become suspicious of his apparent 'insider knowledge' and are about to arrest him when he uses his observations to convince all present that he is psychic. With no choice but to keep up the pretence, he teams up with his lifelong friend Gus (Dulé Hill, playing 'straight man' to Roday's eccentric 'psychic') and they form a pyschic detective agency, called 'Psych', working closely with the local police to solve cases.
