Editorial Reviews

Uncover the truth behind the lies in the addictive and thought-provoking season two of Lie to Me, the compelling hit drama from the producers of 24. Tim Roth returns as Dr. Cal Lightman, a psychologist whose uncanny ability to read the truth behind people’s facial expressions and body language makes him the world’s foremost deception expert. Aided by Dr. Gillian Foster (Kelli Williams), FBI Agent Ben Reynolds (Mekhi Phifer), and a dedicated team of investigators, Lightman faces new lies, new cases, and new challenges, including a murder suspect with multiple personalities, a terrifying hostage crisis, and the mysterious demons of his own dark past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great writing, great acting August 23, 2010

By Brad Teare VINE™ VOICE

This is a great series based on a fun idea. The main character, played by Tim Roth, is a man who has made a study of honesty and the psychological indicators of lying. He has taken the art to such heights he creates an agency that performs this feat on a regular basis for clients of all types. It is a fascinating premise and the writers exploit the idea to maximum effect. The supporting cast is very capable but Roth routinely steals the show with his understated but hip portrayal of a deep, misunderstood, yet sympathetic genius.

Amazingly, considering the themes, this is at once a very intelligent show yet suitable for viewing with audiences of all ages. My only complaint is that Roth, with his distinctive british accent, is occasionally difficult to understand, but this might be a function of my diminishing auditory acuity (typical for baby boomers) but I wondered if the digital technicians could have compensated. But this is a very minor complaint and would in no way keep me from buying the series. I am sure younger ears will have no problem with the sound.

I rate this series high for great acting, great writing, and an intriguing premise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than season 1 August 31, 2010

By MKG

Lie to Me continues to be one of the most unique and intriguing shows on TV. It's intriguing psychological twists not only keep you on your toes but also subtly develops the inner layers of the characters.

The acting is fabulous, which I suppose it has to be since the show teaches us to spot the signs of lying, ie acting. Tim Roth continues to steal the show but everyone in the supporting cast does an amazing job.

The writers make each episode a mix of something totally fresh while building the underlying subplots and relationships. If a shows major plot isn't a subject that appeals to me I still get caught up in the psychological back stories and the continuing character development.It's nice to have a show that wraps a meaningful story around a wide variety of scenario's without relying on cursing or violence.

Paul Ekman's science of reading facial expressions and emotions is intriguing. I'm sure it's glamorized here but just by watching the show you start to become more adept at seeing what the people around you aren't saying, that was unexpected but a pretty nifty benefit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply awesome September 24, 2010

It is the most interesting and charming serial of the last years. The acting of Tim Roth makes it all even more worth it. Besides, the scientific background is really solid, I can tell as I am a researcher too. I would totally suggest it not only to science people, but to everyone as it does give hints on how to manage people's attitudes in everyday life.
