About The Irrational
The Irrational stars Jesse L. Martin as Professor Alec Mercer, solving crimes with behavioral science. Season one from September 2023 runs 11 episodes setting the church bombing injury and FBI tie with Marisa and Phoebe. Creator Arika Lisanne Mittman frames each trick plainly with lab demos.
Season two from October 2024 runs 18 episodes with Rose and Phoebe support to mid 2025 and deeper bombing answers. NBC has not closed the show as of September 2026, so the run stands open. Each episode names its bias, from sunk cost to mirroring, up front.
Good to know
Watch season one then season two since the bombing suspect list builds directly across both runs. Season two assumes you know Alec's scar and Marisa's rank from year one cases. Standalone tricks work alone for casual nights, but the finale pair needs order to land. Treat the show as open while NBC weighs more behavioral cases.
