Lie to Me is a show on Fox about a lying specialist-- dont those actually exist?--who covers cases and helps investigators and government agencies find out the truth about what's going on.
Sure, fun premise, some witty dialogue and interesting stories...there's even a character who's taken an honesty oath and speaks everything his mind, which makes for some good tv. Think House, with criminals instead of medical cases. What I'm enjoying the most, though, is the way the show integrates actual events, actual people, actual liars into the narrative.
For example, Cal Lightman, our Truth Master, Lie Catcher, Human Lie Detector etc. analyzes a picture of a Papua elder expressing a look of disgust and then juxtaposes it with a picture of Jessica Simpson (I wish I had a clip...if I find one I'll post it), proving that our faces may be different, but some expressions are universal.
I'm taking mental notes, trying to see if I can become better at catching a lie...or telling one
