Season 2 of The Irrational has been serving up some white-knuckled action, and viewers can't wait to see what mind-boggling case Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) and his crew of behavioral experts solve next. Whether it's a social conspiracy or a mystifying murder scene, Mercer always cracks the case. Season 2 has kept viewers on the edge of their seats.

"We are so lucky and privileged to have Jesse Martin playing the role of Alec," The Irrational showrunner Arika Lisanne Mittman told NBC Insider. "When I first wrote this character, there was a character I wrote on paper, and there's what Jesse brought to it, and those two things put together have just created magic, and I'm so grateful to have him. He's wonderful to work with. He's really a gift to all of us."

"There are so many possibilities when it comes to just concentrating on how we think and how we behave," Martin told Collider. "Mental health is a big topic on everybody's platforms these days, and our show explores it, certainly in a scripted context, but in so many different ways with so many different people. The more interesting actors we get in, the more that behavior surfaces... There are so many places to get creative. There are so many stories that can get told when you're just talking about behavior, in general."
