Description of Lie To Me: Season One [Blu-ray]:
Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth), a deception specialist, believes that "the truth is written on all our faces." Unlike the psychics of Medium and The Mentalist, he reads body language rather than minds or dreams to crack cases, from murders to business matters, for a variety of law enforcement agencies. His team includes Eli Loker (Brendan Hines), Ria Torres (Monica Raymund), and Dr. Gillian Foster (The Practice's Kelli Williams). Though the show opens with the disclaimer that "the following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event," Lightman often looks to real life for reference, so archival images enter into each episode, sometimes resulting in cheap shots at political figures, like Richard Nixon ("I am not a crook"), but their contradictory gestures can be instructive. Overall, Lie to Me manages to feel both familiar and distinctive. Sleuths who deal better with problems than with people are a television staple, and Lightman is no different (Jennifer Beals plays his district attorney ex-wife). He also condescends to those he considers intellectually inferior or overly instinctive--like Torres--but Roth makes him sufficiently sympathetic. The stories, however, offer more surprises, since they cover the gamut from depressed pilots to gambling addicts. During these 13 episodes, Torres falls for a secret service agent, Foster experiences a personal setback, Loker experiences a professional one, and Ben Reynolds (ER's Mekhi Phifer) becomes a liaison between the Lightman Group and the FBI.
In the making-of featurette, "The Truth About Lies," creator Samuel Baum explains that he strives to explore "situations where honesty may not be the best policy" (Loker believes in "radical honesty," while Lightman won't hesitate to lie to expose a liar). Fun trivia: the first season ends with Roth walking toward the camera in slow motion, a move eerily reminiscent of Reservoir Dogs. --Kathleen C. Fennessy.

Lie To Me: Season One [Blu-ray] Reviews:
be sure you have blu-ray player prepared! 
2009-10-29 - This DVD has good quality in each disc, but be sure you have blu-ray player prepared. Because of Lie to me, I got PS3 XD
Awesomeness
2009-10-24 - This show was great to start with, but when you see it in 1080P.... It is Freaking Awesome!
GREAT Show, Picture Quality lacks. 
2009-10-16 - As far as the show is concerned it is an absolutely wonderful show. It is based on real research (exaggerated some of course), is entertaining, has great acting (Tim Roth is great), fresh environments, and a good musical score. The reason I gave this only 4 stars is because of the picture quality. I just purchased a new Panasonic BD60 Blu-ray player for my 37'' Vizio 1080p LCD TV and when watching these Blu-ray discs on my new player I thought the player wasn't performing to its full potential. The picture seemed to just not be as crisp and clear as other Blu-ray titles I have played on my Blu-ray player. I am not sure if this is a problem with the particular discs I own or if Fox just didn't put as much work into making the picture quality as best as it could be. Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, please let me know and let me know what steps you took to fix the problem if you were able to. I most certainly recommend this show and hope someone can help me resolve this picture quality problem.
O-Boy!
2009-08-31 - This is a great show & a great cast supporting a GREAT Actor Tim Roth .Who as always puts in fierce & divisive acting in everything he does
John McEnroe with a sword
2009-08-25 - I never got into Tim Roth until I saw his performance in Rob Roy. Wow. I figure in those days before tennis, the sword was your racket. Anyway he totally pulled it off. When I started watching Lie to Me, it was because of the expectations that Tim Roth would blow me away again. This show is one of the most underrated in TV land. He makes it totally believable. Awesome show.
