If you are a fan of Tim Roth you will love this series! He is such a dyamic personality and the series is well suited to his many abilities as an actor. The rest of the cast is extremely competant and likeable so it is never a dull moment. With the benefit of the pilot you can see that this is a true science with a real man is behind it. Once you here him talk in the special features section you realize how intelligent and worthwhile this show is. It really takes the authentic research one step further by illustrating visually exactly the science by watching it on the screen. The subject matter is much more readily understood through this medium as a teaching method for this particular science which is body language where as a book is at a disadvantage simply by its nature. Secondly, the huge audience they can reach by the series is a wonderful attribute too. I highly recommend it and especially season one with the special features and pilot which make it a very worthwhile purchase.Read full review
I don't watch much television, as I live in the country and only get three channels. When I travel, I flip through stations to see what might be interesting. I saw one episode of "Lie to Me" a few months ago and it really stuck with me. It's interesting, engaging and funny. I love that they use current celebrity photos to demonstrate "microexpressions" throughout, and the plot lines keep twisting enough to make them very enjoyable. If this company were hiring, I'd get on board there! It's a great concept, and I do hope they produce more and more so that I can learn more about the topic. Unless they plan to have a video course ... which could be even better!
FOX has been very smart lately; Lie to Me, along with Dollhouse, has been one of the best shows on TV now. It's new, and different, and much more thought provoking. The characters of this show are very original, and I like them; Tim Roth does an amazing job portraying Dr.Lightman, and it brings a new light to the show. I'm very impressed with the many different plots and crimes, and there are twists and turns that make it so different from CSI and other crime/mystery shows. Its modern, and much more personal, because the events occur often, and most of the time telling a lie from the truth is the only way to get people justice.
I love the science, I love the actors. One of my all time favorite tv shows. very uncommon. They take something that we all do every day, teach us more about it in an entertaining way. What is not to like???? They teach us how to handle something we all fear. Being lied to and ripped off. and how to spot it.

I love this show! I can watch it over and over and see something new every time. The first thing I saw Tim Roth in, he was the ultimate bad guy...Archibald, in Rob Roy. When I realized how much I hated Archibald, I realized what a great actor Tim is. He does not disappoint in Lie To Me. The Gillian Foster character is too stiff and "squeeky clean" for this line of work. When I watch shows like this, I just want to watch shows like this. I'm not real big on 'back-stories,' so the daughter part could be more of a mention than an actual person. I hope this plays for many seasons.
An AMAZING series! He 'reads' the 'tells' that all of us have. No matter how hard you try .. he'll get ya! He can see the truth! Tim Roth does a fantastic job portraying a man that can read anyone ... yet has his own problems from a sorted past. This is an actual science that is played well on-screen. Watch an episode & you will be hooked! Start your collection now! I have! Can't wait for the next seasons to become available!!
This show is incredible! For years I have read faces and body language being able to understand a lot more than the words being said. Tim Roth is an amazing actor.Always a pleasure to watch. His Dr. Lightman is credible and the entire cast all work well together making this one of the very finest series on television today. Not just another legal show or cop show. Refreshingly different. I highly recommend every episodes they have done so far.
Fascinating series. Mysteries solved using micro emotions. We all give ourselves away showing micro emotions. Better than a lie detector.

Watched every episode as soon as it arrived. I can't wait to see season 2. Tim Roth is great and a wonderful supporting cast. The episodes all have thier own plot while continuing to weave a common thread. It is such a pleasure to watch dramas that have some humor and no commercials. While it is a stretch to think anyone could solve all the cases with the remarkable talent of reading people's lies it's also a refreshing change from all the CSI shows.
Bought all seasons. Didn't get to watch it on TV in it's entirety. Bought the book from the show Telling Lies. I watched the extras.
