Psych's Season 7 Premiere Was Delicious, But Not Very Filling

"Santabarbaratown 2" had trouble balancing heavy poignancy with zany slapstick.

Shawn's Dose of Justice

10

By djmaine, Apr 13, 2013

Great to see Shawn get his vengeance no matter who was in his way. He plays a great dark character when he needs too.

The lighthearted moments were well timed, especially the Cranberry Scene.

Epic Fail

3.0

By Kevin75, Mar 07, 2013

What started out as a good season premier steadily devolves into a series of events that strain and ultimately break the suspension of disbelief. Shaun on his quest for justice commits enough felonies to land anyone in jail. The culmination which I'll leave as surprise, ultimately leaves you asking why are they not in jail.

Unfortunately these strings of felonies, even by the police, entirely overshadow the fun moments of the episode, like when the Gus's new car is blown up. Psyches greatest attribute was always how it cleverly skirted around the law, it was charming, now the show appears to simply ignore the law's existence or any logic. Such as when Gus's car explodes in an expensive neighborhood and the police aren't there in less than 5 minutes.moreless

Santabarbaratown 2

7.0

By thefanof, Mar 04, 2013

Not exactly the funniest season premiere, but I still had a good time watching this episode. James Roday's acting was a little sub-par, but finally seeing him show some balls was a welcome character development. I just think the show made a mistake not killing off Henry.

  Woody: No reason, dear. No reason at all.

- Greasy Mechanic: You hit a speed bump, huh?
  Shawn: (scoffs) Damn German engineering!
  Greasy Mechanic: Car's Japanese.
  Shawn: That's correct. But, uh, the speed bump was made in Hamburg. It's like a little mini Berlin Wall—old version.
