A 90-minute documentary exclusive to the Amazon UK Blu-ray set. It features new (at the time) interviews with Simon Baker (Patrick Jane), Robin Tunney (Teresa Lisbon), and creator Bruno Heller. They discuss the pressure of the Red John mythology and how the show pivoted after the reveal.
In an era where streaming services rotate their libraries like a deck of playing cards and digital purchases are merely "long-term rentals" subject to licensing revocation, the pursuit of physical media has become a dedicated hobby for true cinephiles and TV binge-watchers. For fans of Bruno Heller’s masterpiece, The Mentalist, the quest for the highest quality viewing experience ends with a specific, sought-after artifact: The Mentalist Blu-ray Exclusive. the mentalist bluray exclusive
While standard DVD sets and digital seasons are readily available, the "Exclusive" Blu-ray editions—often tied to specific retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Zavvi, or international distributors—offer a level of immersion and quality that Patrick Jane himself would appreciate.

The exclusive encode uses a higher bitrate than the standard Blu-ray, eliminating any banding in the Sacramento skyline shots.
While streaming includes ads and auto-play, the Blu-ray hides physical Easter eggs. On Disc 4 of Season 6, press “Angle” during the menu’s teacup image, and a hidden video plays: Simon Baker, out of character, teaching you a simple card trick. “Every good mentalist,” he says, “leaves a secret for the ones paying attention.”
