I really liked this series and probably the only reason it even made it to a third season was tim roth. he brought some depth to an otherwise formula-driven show.

I watched this series after having seen "The Mentalist" and while I mostly enjoyed it, Tim Roth's anti-charismatic character became increasingly grating and one-dimensional, and the series as a whole didn't leave me wanting more of the same.

I really enjoyed the first couple of episodes, but after that it started to feel repetitive. Just not enough to hold my interest. I really loved Tim Roth - his character is unique, while his sidekick reminds me of a commercial housewife.

The show has its positives, especially in the observation of how most people lie - a lot. But the three or four leads who attack everyone they see as liars - the three or four know-it-alls, that is - they get real tiring, real fast. They're sort of offensive to watch after awhile.

Fantastic TV series. You learn something with every episode and it is very entertaining. Too bad Fox TV did not renew the series.

Based on the real-life scientific discoveries of Paul Ekman At the show's center is Lightman (Tim Roth), is a scientist whose area of expertise is detecting and interpreting "micro" expressions--(involuntary) a useful skill if you want to want to figure out whether someone's lying, and why. Lightman runs a consulting firm adept at solving mysteries for the police, FBI and pretty much any other client who needs a lie detector. Ekman believes there are about 1% of the population that does this naturally, and he trains law enforcement in the skill sets to become a human lie-detector. Great science/crime drams especially if you are tired of the likes of flashpoint and others that really tell the same story over and over. Dr Ekman's site is worthwhile too http://www.paulekman.com/
