Best New TV Show of 2009: Lie to Me
Posted in television on 24. Jan, 2009
We’re only a single episode into the new season, and Lie to Me is already the clear Juggernaut. Not convinced? I have two words for you: TIM ROTH. Exactly. If you’re still unconvinced, watch this short intro to the show and see if it doesn’t peak your interest.
I cannot tell you how much this show is right up my alley. I’m one of those hyper-oberservant people who notices every twitch, every glance, and every nuance in one’s tone of voice. I’m no professional at discerning their meanings like the characters in this show, but I’m acutely aware that each little “microexpression” means something.
Most of you aren’t like me. You have other and better things to pay attention to in your daily lives. That’s fine. But don’t miss Lie to Me, no matter what. At the very least you’ll gain a little insight into the human condition. At best, you’ll find a fascinating new show (my wife would concur) that is just what the doctor ordered post-Inaugural Day frenzy.
Watch the entire first episode on Hulu, then come back and tell me I’m wrong. I dare you. But be warned. I’ll know if you’re lying.
