Lie to Me!

[Elwolf]

And, no, I do not want you to lie to me. I am talking about the show that premiered yesterday evening. It was good, although the comedy relief was really obvious. The guy that always tells the truth--I can't remember his name. The show seems good. Of course, the MC needs to get some more furniture or something in his office, sheesh! Talk about spartan!

Any thoughts? Feel free to share! :D:hi:

Personally I didn't think it was all that great really. :Shrug:That's just my opinion though. :D

I love Tim Roth, but I can't stand Kelli Williams. Sort of evened out for me. The premise is pretty cool, but it seems like a gimmick that will wear itself out after a half-season.

The characters and plot for the pilot were all rather potboiler. I felt like I had seen it all before, that it was just a focus-on-lying twist tacked on a stale and overused concept with nothing else to make it stand out -- sort of a CSI: Special Liars Unit.

That said, I quite liked how they used science in the show, and Tim Roth is an excellent actor. I will keep watching for the next few shows, but unless something interesting starts to happen I doubt it will last long.

Actually I liked, but probably because it is all right. I have seen this first hand. I plan to continue watching.

I love Tim Roth, but I can't imagine them going at this for more than one season, two tops.

How long until he's running around with a gun and calling a terrorist's bluff?

"You're lying! It's all over your face! You don't really want to die! Put the bomb down!"

[Elwolf]

Yeah. It does feel like it won't last long. It was a good idea, but it just used a storyline that is too worn out. Oh, well. Tim Roth is a good actor, though. I just hope the show will do well. It's pretty much the only show I'm interested in. I have one show that interests me until it goes off the air or I stop getting the channel. This is the first show I have watched regularly in about a year and a half!

It might not last night, but it holds many good points that are actually used in 'real' life often, whether realized or not.

[tailstrike]

I just loved the 'real life' photo that they show when they tell you about a particular lying pattern on your face...so good!!

[Elwolf]

Yup, those were pretty good. Hey, it is lasting longer than I thought it would, though. That's pretty cool. :)

I saw the third episode of this last week (in the UK) and was immediately hooked. Luckily, they were repeating the first few episodes over that weekend and I could catch up. I love this series. I think my favourite thing about it is the feeling that I'm learning something. The characters are interesting and the acting is great. I am very aware of the writing at times, about how they're introducing us to the characters bit by bit, but it doesn't detract from the show. I look forward to it every week now, which I haven't done for a while with a TV program.

[Mudcat]

Yeah I got into this show. It is not flawless but I like it enough to keep watching if and when it comes back.
