TNT Renews Perception for a Second Season

TNT has renewed its freshman crime drama Perception for a 13-episode second season.

Eric McCormack stars as Dr. Daniel Pierce, an eccentric neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia who is recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Pierce has an intimate knowledge of human behavior and a masterful understanding of the way the mind works. He also has an uncanny ability to see patterns and look past people's conscious emotions to see what lies beneath.

"Perception has captured the imagination of TNT's audience of armchair detectives with wonderfully intricate cases, emotionally charged situations and, of course, a terrific cast led by Eric McCormack," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies. "Daniel Pierce is a truly unique and fascinating addition to television's pantheon of crime solvers. We look forward to seeing where Perception takes us next."

We have to admit the series hasn't clicked with us. We watched the first two episodes and then it sort of drifted off our radar. It is only mid-way through its first season, so maybe we'll check it out again; the next episode, the sixth of ten ordered for this season, airs this coming Monday at 10 PM (ET/PT).
