Blessed are Fox Broadcasting for knocking out another belter of a show.
Lie to Me stars Tim Roth (Mr Orange in Reservoir Dogs, an excellent British actor) and follows the endlessly interesting day job of an expert in body language and lie detection.
Puzzles are solved in a format similar to CSI, your first impressions of a situation gradually evolve during an episode to reveal an unpredictable twist of events.
Its based on the work of Paul Ekman, whose books Telling Lies and Emotions Revealed are recommended for anyone interested in observational psychology.
I love this show – its brilliant fun for its body-reading knowledge, as well as some excellent lessons in perception, subjectivity, and balancing what you think you know with what is actually true.
Have you seen it? What do you think?
