The one starring Tim Roth. I keep mixing it up with Rescue Me, the one with the Willem Dafoe look-alike.

I enjoy it. Tim Roth has this compelling weirdness.

It's ok, I keep it on in the background after watching House and pay attention during the more interesting-sounding moments.

The first season takes a couple of episodes to get going, but it's a great first season...Tim Roth is fantastic. The second season was good too; I just never ended up finishing it since I got caught up with other shows like Deadwood and Dexter......and Justified....and Breaking Bad......:P

It's rubbish. Watch The Mentalist instead.

[QUOTE="Deihjan"]It's rubbish. Watch The Mentalist instead.

While I did enjoy what I saw of Lie To Me, I will say that some aspects of the show certainly are rubbish. I hated how easily most of the conflict was resolved by Cal.... "he's guilty" "how do you know?" "face twitch.". It's just....a little silly I guess:).

It doesn't solve the problem in a way I can accept, because he doesn't show any skills at all.. he just DOES it. It's so annoying.

I like it, but it will probably get cancelled pretty soon because of its ratings. Too bad, it's a fun show.

I've watched all episodes so far, I think it's really good. It goes on par with NCIS and Criminal Minds for me, which is high!

It's good but after a few episodes it got so old & repetitive.

Something tragic happens at the start :shock:

Someone gets arrested then interrogated at lightmans office or somewhere else.

He notices the smallest change in your face. (How he does with so much consistency I don't know)

Then someone gets arrested or commits suicide or just dies.

Pretty much sums up every episode.

Well it's good but nothing out of the ordinary from your average detective tv series
