I just discovered this show. It came on after House. Basic premise is the lead guy is a human lie detector. He has trained himself to detect even the most minute expressions or movements of a person and decipher the emotion behind it and whether the person is lying. I really enjoy the lead's portrayal and particularly enjoy the explanations of every facial movement. I know his ability and the movements are exagerated for the dake of the show, but it is fascinating to have it explain all the social cues that I NEVER pick up on. :)

From what you say, it looks like a good show.
... Is it a show or a serial?

I LOVE Lie to Me, it's what got me obsessed with Human Lie Detection. :D

The episode on tv that I saw was the first episode of the second season. I then went and bought the first season on dvd and have watched half the season since last night. I should be done by the time the next episode airs this Monday. :)

I like it mainly because I think the main character is awesome and played by a good actor, Tim Roth.
