TV show description:
This TV show revolves around Doctor Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack), an eccentric and brilliant neuroscience professor. Unfortunately, his mind is also damaged and he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia.
Pierce struggles with hallucinations and paranoid delusions brought on by his schizophrenia. Oddly though, he considers some of his hallucinations to be a gift. They occasionally allow him to make connections that his conscious mind can’t yet process. At other times, the hallucinations become Pierce’s greatest curse, leading him to behave in irrational, potentially dangerous ways.
Still, he’s recruited by FBI agent Kate Moretti (Rachael Leigh Cook) 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 can look past people’s conscious emotions to see what lies beneath. Kate is Pierce’s former student and, unlike her colleagues, she’s willing to look past his peculiarities.
Pierce’s mental condition and offbeat manner make it difficult for him to achieve the close friendships and intimate relationships he craves.
Those close to him include Max Lewicki (Arjay Smith), his teaching assistant. Max’s primary job is to keep Pierce in line and on task, whether that means grading midterms or laying out his boss’ wardrobe for the day. Natalie Vincent (Kelly Rowan) is Pierce’s best friend and every bit his intellectual equal. Paul Haley (LeVar Burton) is the dean at Pierce’s university and one of his few friends.
Pierce is in his element when solving an intricate puzzle or a coded message. But in unfamiliar situations, he can quickly become overwhelmed, and only his favorite music and a crossword puzzle have the power to make things right again.

Bring this show back. It’s a wonderful premise; the damaged man who solves crimes. Bring himn out of the hospital and let him start solving crimes again. There is a lot of going on.
I loved “Perception” – story and cast- and was very sorry when it didn’t return. I hope TNT will bring it back, it was one of the better shows on tv.
i really liked it. would like to know when it is coming back on?
Spectacularly “creative”, entertaining & intriguing plot! Superb
casting. Please continue with this show. We are hooked and many
will catch up, indubitably.
Years. The series should continue for at least 6 years.
Because the story is universal it has much life to offer.
Perception is a gift, a skill to be acquired and sorely overlooked.
In my opinion it is the missing factor in the art of communication.
Because of this deficit in the ability to discipher facial & body
language perception & comprehension is non existent. Superficiality
feeds the already stunted & shallow cultural malaise.
“Great job” Kudos to the writer/s, (?) if more than one, to the
director and very grateful for the producer and Network.

I loved this show! So very different. I’;ve missed it & hope it continues for many seasons. I also love Eric McCormick.
Loved it! Hope it’s coming back!
I really enjoyed this show. It was a bit different and has an interesting take on brilliance and disability. I really hope this show continues.
bring it back, it was different and I liked it!
As others series are returning shortly I wondered when this would be aired. I had a slight panic when I couldn’t find any details but am pleased to find that it will be back, although I don’t know when it will screen in Britain.
Great series and great actors.
They indicated that Perception would be back in January. I was very disappointed when they didn’t bring the series back. Please renew this program.
love the show–hopefully it does not get cancelled. agree with atn–all the shows that I follow and really get involved in get cancelled. way too many reality shows.
keep Perception going.
