The Irrational S1
Critics Choice nominee Jesse L Martin (Detective Ed Green in Law & Order) stars in The Irrational as Alec Mercer, a renowned behavioural scientist who lends his expertise to an array of high-stakes cases involving governments, law enforcement and corporations, using his unconventional approach to human psychology, body language, and emotions to solve illogical puzzles and perplexing mysteries.
Based on best-selling author Dan Ariely’s non-fiction book Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions, the series is written and produced by Humanitas Prize winner Arika Lisanne Mittman (Dexter, Elementary).
The Irrational has already earned Martin a nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series at this year’s Image Awards, and a second season of the ratings hit.
