A police procedural drama series, The Irrational TV show stars Jesse L. Martin, Maahra Hill, Arash DeMaxi, Travina Springer, Molly Kunz, and Arash DeMaxi. Professor Alec Mercer (Martin) is a professor and world-renowned expert in behavioral science, so he has unique insight into human nature. He lends his unique expertise to various high-stakes cases involving governments, law enforcement, and corporations. In addition to his fierce curiosity about human decision-making, Alec also has support from grad student assistant Phoebe (Kunz), grad student Rizwan (DeMaxi), his tech-savvy younger sister Kylie (Springer), and his estranged wife, FBI Agent Marisa Clark (Hill). Years ago, Alec was the victim of a church bombing, and his early research was motivated by this trauma. His missing memories start to resurface when he meets a convicted bomber who comes up for parole.
