Dr. Alec Baker’s classes have resumed. The Irrational, which follows renowned behavioral science professor Jesse L. Martin as he applies his knowledge to crucial criminal cases, has been revived by NBC. The show is the ideal fusion of pop psychology and police procedural, and it is based on the best-selling book Predictably Irrational by behavioral economist and Duke University professor Dan Ariely. Curious in the definition of inattentional blindness? Watch Episode 2, where a normally perceptive journalist is too preoccupied with a staged restaurant proposal to realize that her tea is poisoned.
