The average person tells three lies in ten minutes of conversation. When that cynical assessment of society is one of the first things you hear Tim Roth’s Dr. Cal Lightman say, you get the feeling that Lie To Me is going to be an entirely different type of procedural, and it is.
FOX’s Lie To Me is a radical approach to the mystery of the week model, although it wouldn’t seem so at first. Lie To Me’s cast of crime-solvers and wrong-righters make their way through each week’s conundrums by looking for the truth. What makes them different from any other flat footed crusaders is they really look for the truth, literally.
Lightman is an expert at spotting ‘emblems’ and ‘micro expressions,’ a sort of physical language that lacks the psyche’s ability to deceive. The series is Lie To Me’s bad guys tell far more than three lies in each episode, and Roth’s Lightman is an expert at discerning truth from fallacy. Seasoned with stark realism of Roth’s performance, Lie To Me is a quirky foray into human nature that shouldn’t be missed.
