Fantastic!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Imagine someone as abrasive and inappropriate as House, and you've got Tim Roth as Dr. Cal Lightman. Dr. Lightman's company specializes in discerning whether or not people are telling the truth. They work with all areas of law enforcement, including the FBI, corporations, and different government departments. Their work is based on the research of Dr. Paul Ekman, who served as an adviser on the series.The work of the Lightman Group revolves around reading people's facial expressions, voices, eye pupils, and gestures to tell if someone is being truthful.Cal's business partner Gillian is played by the beautiful Kelli Williams, and her cool, calm demeanor is wonderful juxtaposition to Lightman's often flamboyant behavior. Tim Roth, sporting his Cockney accent, is quirky Lightman to a T- he stands in people's personal space, looks them straight in the eye, and tells them they're lying. The rest of the cast - Brendan Hines, Monica Raymond, Hayley McFarland, and Mekhi Phifer provide excellent support.Original and offbeat, "Lie to Me" is an excellent series that unfortunately only ran three years. It's well worth seeing.

a special series. not for the virtue to escape from the expectations of public but for propose a different way to understand the entertainment. because it is a simple story about people. and because it has the chance to have as lead actor Tim Roth. because the people are complex and the series is just reflection of each from us. because it is not a proposition to discover heroes or clowns. only men/women lying, hoping to escape from consequences of theirs errors, in front with a man who is far to be perfect. to understand the other. small tricks who transforms faces and gestures, intonation, eyes blinks in maps. large maps. about yourself. it could be a new form of documentary. and this does it not exactly a show. but a fascinating challenge.

I mean Tim Roth excellent acting display .... One of the most intense serials and it needs new season as soon as possible ;)... Acting is for pure 10 of 10 as well as story line ... I watched all seasons few times and i just start watching them again :) ...I am so focused on episodes and Tim Roth Character Kal that i started to dress and react as him in real life :) it is so cool when u surprise someone by saying he is busted in lie :) ... To short a typing definitely in need of new seasons fast :DOr a movies to finish the story about Kal and his life and life work as well as science he is investigating ....

I have started watching this series in 2015, and I fell in love with it instantly. Its contents are still up-to-date, except when they relate and dedicate some episodes to worldly known events at the time it was being aired (2009 - 2011). Its usefulness is obvious as it 'teaches' that lies leave emotional traces, and therefore can be read. After reading about its cancellation online, I understood why. It's a FOX show, so how could it be any different? They were pretty much teaching people how to catch phonies. And that, to FOX was like shooting their own feet... Too bad there hasn't been a 4th season (yet!)... I believe NETFLIX would be the perfect 'channel' for a return of this series, considering it has no intention on being any sort of ''moral compass'' for the American society. In my opinion, this show could easily have 8 seasons!
