NBC’s “The Irrational” returns with a high-stakes case that’s quite literally out of this world. In “The Overview Effect,” Alec, the show’s behavioral science expert, finds himself evaluating a married couple tasked with a critical mission: rescuing a trapped astronaut in space.
The stakes couldn’t be higher, but a training accident throws the entire operation into question. Can the couple handle the immense pressure and potential danger? Alec must determine if they have the psychological fortitude to complete the mission. The episode looks at themes of risk assessment, human behavior under duress, and the psychological impact of space travel. Expect a healthy dose of suspense and some insightful observations about what makes people tick – or crack – under pressure.
“The Irrational: The Overview Effect” airs Tuesday, March 11th at 10:00 PM ET/PT on NBC.
