“Lie to Me” stars Tim Roth as Dr.Cal Lightman, a human lie-detector who's able to detect any lie from people's body language together with his team of specially trained associates. He helps the police and U.S. Government solve the toughest crimes. That ability comes in handy when catching criminals but it also provides him with the misfortune of always knowing when someone is not honest with him sometimes leading to series of unfortunate situations.
"Lie to Me" is a great show because it capitalizes on a whole new field of TV drama compared to detective shows or even medical dramas we saw on TV. But this is refreshing as it's much different than any show out there because this show has its own style.
It is a completely original and highly entertaining show that I know that people will just love if they give it a chance. "Lie to Me" is a very interesting series with a lot of humor and a very interesting location to work (in my opinion).
The series also features a strong supporting cast including Kelli Williams as Dr. Gillian Foster whose husband is cheating on her, a fact every one of her colleagues is aware of except herself. Brendan Hines's character is always telling the truth no matter how embarrassing and Monica Raymund stars as Ria Torres, who has the natural ability of seeing if someone is lying. That often leads to conflict with Lightman, who refuses to believe her ability is as accurate as his since he needed years of training while she was just born with her talent.
