im a late comer in most shows. but im not wealthy so for entertainment i watch tv, and movies. and im old enough to have watched a lot over the years. there are a few key components for the making of hit show. the writing of course has to be good. but what has come with it, and this is every bit as important as the writing itself, maybe more so. and that is the people chosen to play the characters. if you look at almost any show, even sitcoms, it is the chemistry between people that makes us drawn to the show. for example, i believe we all love the idea of friendship and find it hard to find even one person that you can fully trust and call friend through out life. shows that were hits all had good writing, sometimes not, but had people playing the characters that were really good at bringing the friendship and trust to the screen. look at happy days, lavern and shirley, seinfeld, cheers, mash, house, bones, friends, and finally nypd blue. these are only a few examples. what do they all have in common? the relationships between any two people, or in the case of friends many friendships between many people. i love nypd blue, and although the writer had a drinking problem and it did affect his writing, the people carried the show because they were so good at bringing the characters such as sipowitz and john kelley, or bobby simone. the friendships that sipowitz had over the years on that show i believe is what really draws us in. in my case, when watching i have found myself searching in my own mind the question, do i have that kind of friendship? and wanting to watch and see how they look out for one another and without almost never saying it, you know they care about each other like family. i think that is the key to any drama or sitcom for that matter. having the right actors, and their ability to bring that level of emotion and caring for each other that we all look for in our own lives. an example of this can be found in house. before the writers strike with house, it was a hit show, and winning awards. why? hugh laurie or house and his relationship with wilson, his best friend, and cuddy. then you have the supporting cast of cameron, chase, and forman. but its the relationship between house and wilson that really brings us closer and gives us the laughs we enjoy by watching, and relate to in our own lives. its the friendship, and the flirtation with cuddy, and how he interacts with his supporting cast that we have come to love. BUT, if you look at when they broke up the crew, the writers strike happend, chase, cameron, and forman had next to no time with house. also, they took away the witty exchange with wilson and cuddy. the dynamic of the show changed. the ratings dropped, people wrote and called in their fustration with the direction the show was taking. the writers essentially ruined the chemistry between the key characters. the friendships and relationships that we all related to, or hoped for in our own lives was no longer there. ratings dont lie. so, my long way of making my point is this: the show "lie to me" is very unique. first the writing is good. not great. i think they can improve and have a lot of material to draw off of. but the people who play the characters really make that show a hit. from day one, they have been developing the friendships and relationships between the characters and i believe as long as they keep moving in this direction it will be a great hit. the concept and or idea of the show is very unique. nothing like it before has ever hit the small screen. making my point in friendship, they even brought in the actor from ER to be like a second partner, but male not female, and you can see how they are becoming better friends and learning to trust each other. forgive me i cant remember his name at the moment, but the lead character lightman now has a FBI guy to lean on, and you can see they felt they needed him to have that connection like they did on nypd blue. lightman has the one woman he trusts, but they oscillate between flirtation and friendship. with the FBI its two guys depending on each other. partners like you would find in any police unit. and i believe they give us all the components for a great tv series. the friendship, a unique concept in telling the truth, and the story lines in which to bring out all the things we can relate to in our own lives. plus its damn funny too. its a great cast, great idea in terms of what lightman does, and i believe if the writers keep moving forward, keep the characters growing letting us in a little at a time, and bring that friendship to the front with his FBI agent it will be on for many years to come. i love the show and plan on buying the series. five stars from me. but then im just a guy with a little too much time on my hands.

Aft or Science?

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

If not for me dozing off half-way an episode as it gets late for me, I would be binge-watching this series. The second season is less about microexpressions than the first one. The main characters' personal lives, especially Dr. Lightman's colorful past, get woven in to the plot in many episodes. It makes the characters more interesting, and the twists in the plot get less mundance and less predictable. The science of microexpressions becomes secondary as the series progresses. For this reason, I felt the first season had more of a novelty factor to it as the storytelling then allowed more time to the science to be explained. As viewers become more familiar with the science, the second season did not have to bother with explaining the science. And that is fine with me. If this series were a professor's way to make a science class less boring, it did a good job in keeping me interested and glued in. But if I were to take an exam on microexpressions to gauge my undetstanding of the topic, I more likely would still fail the class. Perhaps it's because I find it hard to understand it as a science, and I would treat it as an art. Because I feel so, I would probably need to treat it as something cognitive and approach it as a science in order to master it. I am the character Loker.

WORTH EVERY HOUR SPENT WATCHING IT

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2015

A "Bones" type Sherlock Holmes series staring Tim Roth playing a character that appears to have mastered a skill set even Dr. Paul Ekman, PhD might appreciate. The Roth character uses his perception of microexpressions to determine when someone is telling the truth, under stress, etc.

With Roth, and a pretty cool supporting caste, what's not to like? Even before "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" (with Gary Oldman) I enjoyed his work so this series (even if it a one of a kind, having been canceled many years back) is a blessing.

The series is clever, thoughtful, and fun; with as much depth as you would expect in a program in which every episode is "stand alone." Meaning, not much mystery or excitement, again, it's just a lot of fun. One warning though, don't watch multiple episodes together, OD as it were. Enjoy them as stand alone experiences. You'll probably enjoy it more.

Addressing the issue of whether to buy it or not. I would have but since it's included in my Amazon Prime instant videos it's moot.

Do I recommend it. Yes.

The show is one of the very best!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016

Excellent, and really something different, solving crimes, issues, and events by learning to read people's facial expressions, and bodily reactions to questions posed by Dr. Cal Lightner and his staff. Dr. Lightner is a very complex character, a 'bully' of sorts, but one who understands human relations and seeks to find the truth through interrogation and the ability to 'read' a person through their expressions, mannerisms and their their motivations. If only real life could be that simple! But Dr. Lightner is a real pro at it.
A curmudgeon of sorts he leads his staff to uncover the truth while also opens up their lives to discover their own personal potential! Great 'chemistry' between he and his staff as well as he and his daughter, Emily and his ex-wife.
Interesting throughout the series to learn about Cal's early life, his relationship with his parents and drives him. A character I would love to meet.
The show is well written. Wish there were many more seasons"

I was a little apprehensive when it came to trying this show out. I saw it on Netflix and fell absolutely in love with the characters especially Dr. Lightman. He is hilarious, extremely arrogant, he reminds me of Dr.House (House) mixed with Agent Gibbs (NCIS). The storyline is great its fast moving and each individual character is put through many trials throughout the show. I have to say That I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy this series. I wish it was longer than 3 seasons! If you like Law and Order, The Closer even White Collar you will love this series. It gives you a whole new perspective on "crime fight drama" plus you learn so much about facial expressions and body language that you can use to your advantage!

The packaging was really bad. I ordered seasons 1& 2 and both cases were cracked and the opening part of the cases were shattered. I attached photographs...wasn't impressed. but I love the show so hopefully the cases stay together -___-

Top Serie, schade, dass nach der 3. Staffel Schluss ist

Reviewed in Germany on April 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

Ich bin ein absoluter Fan der Serie "Lie to Me". Nachdem ich auf VOX nie ein Folge verpasst hatte, habe ich mir jetzt die 2. Staffel zugelegt.
Nach dem Auspacken war die Vorfreude groß, doch der kleine Schock kam nach dem Einschalten mit der Aufforderung die korrekte Sprache am DVD-Player einzustellen. Nahm da jemand (der Hersteller) den Titel "Lie to Me" da etwas zu ernst? Doch nachdem ich das DVD-Fach kurz geöffnet und alles auf Auto-Sprache bzw. Standardsprache Deutsch in den Player-Einstellungen gebracht hatte, lief der Film einwandfrei. Also im Vergleich zu manchen meiner Vorrednern kein Grund die Staffel schlecht zu bewerten oder gleich zurückzuschicken.
Für Fans ist diese Staffel ein Muss, da in Season 2 noch mehr Folgen drauf sind wie in Season 1. Dass die 2. Staffel außerdem schlechter als die erste sein soll, finde ich auch nicht, denn Cal Lightman gibt mal wieder sein Bestes in 22 unterhaltsamen, abwechslungsreichen Folgen.
