I took note to Tim Roth when I first saw him play the enigmatic jazz pianist in The Legend of 1900. He has that buzz to his acting that just sets him apart from other mainstream stars, how he can express so much of his individuality in whatever role he plays. His persona just keeps you guessing.
This is obvious but one still has to note how hard it is to shoot a show like this. Every expression the characters show have to be there, in perfect context, and subtle at the same time, thus making a noteworthy representation of one facet of human nature in the show "Lie to Me". Very unique, surprisingly original with good music and decent actors, very enjoyable and worth your hour.

Tim Roth is a great actor with such an impressive career that it's easy to forget it's been 15 years since Pulp Fiction and "Honey Bunny." But he's made a few less popular movies in the interim -- although he's great in all of them -- so it makes sense that a film actor of his caliber would take a gig on American television, essentially doing for expression recognition theory what Jack Klugman did for forensics in "Quincy." The incorporation of well-known faces (Bill Clinton, Jessica Simpson, various assassins) to illustrate the fictitious Lightman Group's craft is a nice device. The supporting cast (sidekick, apprentice, cute geek and daughter) is talented and interesting, their characters well-drawn, and the score is cool -- which is a big deal for any cop show.Like that and other shows of its kind, Lie To Me is terribly formulaic, even though its writers seem to take pride in deception and O. Henry twists. But, like Dragnet, Boston Legal or any episode of Scooby-Doo, this show's predictability is somehow pleasing. And to be fair, it's only four episodes in. Tim Roth + interesting premise + nice music/design/production = one to watch.

Let me get this straight, the show is about human expression? The expression I give when I kill is different then the expression I give if I was afraid or angry? Show is lame.

One best new exciting and sometimes funny shows I have seen in a while. It has everything in it for all ages. Since lying is about everyone this show has a little something for everyone. Very entertaining,keep up the good work. Can't wait for next episode and that is the truth.

This is the first TV show in a long time that i truly enjoyed. I hope it does not share the same fate as Jericho did and gets canceled mid story. My only other fear is keeping things fresh i don't know how many different storys you can get out a subject like this. But the pilot is amazing
