Lie To Me

The actual concept of this show is pretty weak, Cal Lightman is an expert in reading peoples expressions to basically see if they're lying. Using this solves crimes, prevents general wrong-doings and is a bit of a maverick-saviour. Doesn't sound great does it? Excellent casting, superb plots and even better sub-plots made this one of the best TV shows around and a definite must see. Tim Roth's acting career may have hit a bit of a standstill but having seen the likes of Keither Sutherland, Jessica Love Hewitt et al reignite their careers in TV shows, he's followed a well trodden but well advised path. Roth is superb as Lightman, the leader of ...  Read the complete review

I always use to go on about how I find it intersting how we position ourselves within a classroom, or choosing a specific seat in an empty room can reveal so much. A friend of mine mentioned that a new show had started on Sky One and i may like it.

Lie To Me is a US-based drama featuring British actor Tim Roth as the lead character, Dr Cal Lightman. The series is based around a company called the Lightman Group which features a team of deception experts who are trained to be like "human lie detectors". They achieve this by analysing "micro facial expressions" which are said to reveal the truth behind what someone is saying.

Although the first series has come to end now, I'm sure there will be many repeats available on Sky One, or Sky Two, or Sky Three or any other franchise of Sky that may unexpectedly pop up over night. Lie To Me follows the cases The Lightman Group (a private contractor company) investigate into determining deception in many different situations, typically from law enforcement agencies and occasionally from wealthy clients using the art of psychology.
