A quick recap of The Irrational Season 1

The Irrational's first season revolves around Alec Mercer, a behavioral scientist whose skills play a critical role in helping law enforcement solve complex cases. Alec utilizes his psychological acumen to solve criminal mysteries, each case illuminating his deep understanding of human behavior.

The first season adds a twist to the storyline. It balances crime-solving with personal struggles, especially Alec's complicated past and relationships.

One of the notable events in the first season is Merce's ongoing investigation into a wrongful conviction. Alec is convinced that the convicted individual was framed, which brings tension and drama as Alec fights against a broken system. As the season progresses, Alec’s insights into human behavior unravel more profound layers of manipulation, power, and control, all while raising moral questions about justice.

A major revelation in season 1 involves Alec uncovering secrets about his past. His relationship with his family, particularly his estranged wife, Marisa, adds emotional depth to the storyline. His past trauma and unresolved emotional turmoils are explored as he faces the professional and personal challenges that arise with every case. This gives more depth to his character.

The season ends with a massive cliffhanger, leaving viewers with more questions than answers. A key suspect escapes, Rose is kidnapped, and the question of who’s behind the bombing of the church and office leaves Alec and the team in pursuit of answers.

In the season one finale, Alec and Marisa finally discover that Marisa's FBI boss, Bob Caswith, was the mastermind behind a bombing and the killer of Jace. The reasons behind this are still shrouded as it can't be only to cover up the death of a campaign aide. This final twist set the stage for an even more suspenseful second season.

While it remains unclear what season 2 has in store for fans, it is speculated that its storyline will answer some lingering questions from season 1. The most dire ones include the escaped suspect, the reasons behind Bob Caswith's con, and the motive for Rose's kidnapping, as she might become a more integral part of Alec’s personal life.


As The Irrational continues to explore every aspect of suspense, mystery, and exceptional detective skills to keep fans hooked, viewers can expect the upcoming season to keep the same energy as season 1 or even better. Tune in to NBC or Amazon Prime Video to refresh your memory on the events of The Irrational Season 1. As an alternative, watch The Irrational Season 1 on Apple TV, Peacock, and Citytv.
