Another episode of Lie to Me, another brilliant performance by Tim Roth. He continues to prove why he was the perfect choice for the role of Dr. Lightman. Part arrogant, part brilliant, part introverted, part disturbed, the character of Lightman is... Full review

Lie to Me is a very interesting series, with a lot of humor and a very interesting premise in my opinion. In addition the 4 Cast members all play their role very good and add to the show's freshness. Tim Roth... Full review

A show which turned out to be a lot better than I though. There are lots of "Cop-shows" out there, although they are seldom something special. But this! This is a great show with great actors and a story that for... Full review

If you haven't seen this series, get yourself to Hulu ASAP...it really is a terrific show by any standards but especially phenomenal for a Big 4 broadcaster. What makes it unique is its documentary-style cuts; showing how to spot deceptions using... Full review

This show remains episode in nature while keeping you fully intrigued by the characters and wanting to discover more about their back story. Tim Roth is intense, engaging and brilliant... kind of a milder version of House - he's willing to... Full review

Disregarding Reservoir Dogs, I think this has to be Roth's best work. Roth is extremely in touch with Dr. Lightman and you feel as if he truly enjoys playing this character. The show leaves you in total disbelief at points and... Full review

Wow!!! Apparently the person who wrote this episode has a serious beef with the military because the anti-military, anti-soldier portrayal in this episode is pretty blatant. It's kind of like we get it already, you don't like the wars were... Full review

I didn't care for the blatant anti-military propaganda in this episode. This episode suggests that the majority of enlisted men in the U.S. Army are sexist pigs who routinely sexually harass the women with which they serve, treating each as nothing... Full review

Like any good drama, there is a big difference between what you think happens and what actually transpires.....But beyond the initial premise of the show, LIE TO ME has some pretty darn good writing, acted out convincingly by Tim Roth..... ... Full Review

Lie to Me' With Tim Roth Mistakes Concept For Content....Roth is good and Williams isn't bad....But it feels like the problems with "Lie To Me" are deeper than a couple of cases with stupid twists.....the pilot for "Lie To Me" is a mess..... ... Full Review
