Lie to Me

Lie to me explores the path of psychology, crime, microexpressions, and varied body language. Created by Samuel Baum, Lie to me follows the story based on the work of Paul Ekman, who is a specialist on facial expression and professor of psychology. Even though the show received mostly positive reviews, Fox, it's original network canceled the series after three seasons. Cal Lightman perfectly stabilizes the portrayal of Ekman and brings out the truth lurking behind the lies. Most of the actors were asked to go through a microexpression course before the filming due to preparation for the show, but Tom Roth, playing the role of Cal Lightman, denied to be a part of it. Tom Roth had seen what it could do via the show, therefore did not want to ruin his relationship with his family and friends.
