Lie to Me (TV Show)

[BudweiserCeltic]

Lie to Me is a new show that started yesterday on FOX, and it'll be airing on Wednesdays @ 10pm EST. It stars Tim Roth (The Incredible Hulk) as an expert of body language capable of detecting when people are lying.

Just saw the first episode, and I thought it was pretty good and fun. Those who like The Mentalist (which I recommend), should enjoy this.

From writer Samuel Baum ("The Evidence") and the executive producers of 24 and "Arrested Development" comes LIE TO ME, a drama series inspired by a true story about a deception expert who can read the human face, body and voice to expose the truth in criminal cases and investigations.

When you itch your chin, wring your hands, scratch your nose or increase your swallowing, DR. CAL LEIGHTMAN knows you're lying. And he doesn't just think so - he knows so. Whether it be family, friends or complete strangers - he knows when they're holding something back. More accurate than any polygraph test, he is a human lie detector.

Dr. Cal Leightman heads up a private agency contracted by the FBI, local police, law firms, corporations and private individuals when they've hit a roadblock on their searches for the truth. Joining him are the foremost experts in the field of behavioral psychology: DR. GILLIAN FOSTER is the doctor's professional partner and intellectual counterpart, a master of deception equally comfortable with lying and concealing her emotions; the other is Dr. Leightman's lead researcher WILL LOKER who says everything on his mind and seemingly lacks the ability to lie.  RIA TORRES (Monica Raymund), the newest member of the team, uses her natural and uncanny ability to read body language to catch the clues that her professional partners miss.

Brian Grazer, David Nevins and Samuel Baum serve as executive producers in conjunction with 20th Century Fox Television on this intriguing series based on the science developed by pioneering behavioral psychologists. In its cases and in its character relationships, this unique procedural and character drama is not simply a search for a criminal, but a search for human truth.

LIE TO ME probes the very heart of human nature and explores the idea that there's nothing more revealing than when we choose to tell the truth and when we decide to lie.

It sounds like a promising show. Tim Roth gives it a lot of credibility. I must check that out in the future.

I've watched every episode so far and have been entertained by all of them.

The only beef I have with this great show is that, none of them can prove that the "liars" are lying.

Every episode the "liar" has always confessed or "come clean".

I didn't know the best form of torture is just to accuse people that their lying based on their facial ticks or shoulder gesture/movement.
