Yeah, it's like he had no weaknesses and they had no strengths.

Would have been good to see him struggle or fail at times.

Maybe you should follow the series more closely. I'm a recent convert, having been binge watching it since I discovered it. I feel that I've seen numerous examples by now of where he seemed to experience self-doubt. Just today, there was an episode where he was taunted by Red John and it affected his focus. He went on a drunken binge and destroyed all of his files. He admitted that he felt defeated and all of his colleagues expressed that he appeared to be off his game. That was shortly followed by another episode where his perception was seriously affected by accidentally having ingested belladonna laced tea, which had produced intense hallucinations.

"Hell hath no fury like a slut outflanked." Just one of his many smart assed responses suddenly delivered in a seemingly innocuous interview, designed to expose the suspect's true self. In this case, it provoked outrage and a slap to the face, lol.
