I love the premise of the show but hate the lies of the writers. The distortions (or predjudices) of the truth in the two episodes I have seen are evident. As example in one a character states that all women in the army are "bithces or whores...". Another claims that the armed forces are so hard up that the are forced to use felons and allow them to commit crimes because they cannot get enough recruits. I could list many other forms of misinformation and biased that the show is propagating but the need for the defamation of our soldiers during a time of war by ignorant people in Hollywierd is enough for me to use my right to turn this show off and stop the Lies to Me. (Notice I did not need to get the government to prohibit others to watch this program)

Exciting, Fresh, Innovative. Lie to Me is a breath of fresh air on a stale and repetitive weekly line up of TV shows. i can now say 1 more show is worthy of entering my 8 shows to watch on, my weekly line up.

I truly enjoyed Lie to Me. It was an interesting on a shows premise. I loved the way they showed pictures on real people making the same facial expressions. (Like OJ and others alike). I was excited to see something new.
John H gave it a9:
Tim Roth brings an added bonus to this new idea for a TV show. Hope they can keep it fresh.

I watched this show last night expecting another failure, considering the previews did not appeal to me much (come on, season premiere with a boy from lizzie mcguire?) About 15 minutes in, I came to realize that, being extreme Cold Case, Law and Order, and Without a Trace fans, I thoroughly enjoyed the format of the show, and the well written plot. This would have gotten a 10 from me, but I do think the show dragged in parts, as most shows with this format (see the ones I listed above) do. Another fun part was learning things about human's body language I never knew before. Decent show overall, I recommend checking it out, especially if you're into shows of this nature.

Fascinating premise...relevant to communicating in "real life". Especially enjoy exposure to many worlds through broad base of clients. Grounded, intelligent, interesting plot twists.
