I concur. That's a good one. I wasn't thinking of series that have already ended. Note that
The Mentalist has an overarching storyline that proceeds from the first episode to the last episode, so watch 'em in order. Definitely start with the very first episode.
Another one that has ended but was really good is
Person of Interest. It also has a cool sci-fi artificial intelligence twist to it in the later seasons. It also has an overarching storyline, so it is best watched in order.
Cold Case and
Without a Trace from the '00s were good too. If you have a Roku, they are both available for free (with advertisements) on the Roku Channel. They may well be available free-with-adds elsewhere too.
There was a good series called
Moonlight about a reasonably-human-friendly vampire private detective. It only lasted a single season. I believe it is available for free (with advertisements) on one of the CW Network apps on the Roku. If you don't have a Roku, this CW Network app might be available on other devices.
Monk was broadcast this century. So was
In Plain Sight. And
Saving Grace. And also
The Closer and its spin-off
Major Crimes. And
Rizzoli & Isles. All of them are good.
