Hi, my dear Movies & TV Shows lovers!
Would you like to be able to read other people like an open book, comprehending their thoughts and actions? It seems to us that we are great actors and are great at hiding all this from others. And we can lie. Yes, that's right, we are very good at lying! But that's just how it seems to us. The conscious and unconscious play an eternal game, giving the outside world clear enough signals about our true thoughts. And often these signals are very contradictory. Sometimes they are so contradictory that our interlocutor, without even being a professional psychologist or a police interrogator, begins to feel that something is wrong. And for the protagonist of the series Lie to Me, this does lie on the surface.
Lie to Me is an American crime drama television series. It originally ran on the Fox network from January 21, 2009, to January 31, 2011. In the show, Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) and his colleagues in The Lightman Group accept assignments from third parties (commonly local and federal law enforcement), and assist in investigations, reaching the truth through applied psychology: interpreting microexpressions, through the Facial Action Coding System, and body language. In May 2009, the show was renewed for a second season consisting of 13 episodes; season two premiered on September 28, 2009. On November 24, 2009, Fox ordered an extra nine episodes for season two, bringing the season order to 22 episodes.
On May 12, 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported that Lie to Me received a 13-episode third season pick-up. The third season of Lie to Me was originally set to premiere on November 10, 2010. On September 28, 2010, the date was moved up to October 4, 2010, because of the cancellation of Lone Star. On May 11, 2011, Fox canceled Lie to Me after three seasons.
The show is inspired by the work of Paul Ekman, a specialist on facial expressions and a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. Ekman has been an advisor to police departments and anti-terrorism groups. He was a scientific consultant in the production of the series. The lead character of Lie to Me, Cal Lightman, is based on Ekman.
If you like intellectual cinema and intellectual detective in particular, you will love this series. The plot has little to do with the personal lives of the characters. However, I personally really like the relationship between Lightman and his daughter. If you look closely, this young lady will definitely be able to surpass her father in both the art of seeing lies and the art of deceit in time.
Of course, watching a series won't make you a pro at reading body language, but it will give you a lot of interesting information that can be the basis for your new hobby.
