Cal Lightman runs a private firm that reads micro-expressions and body language. Police and government agencies hire him and his partner, psychologist Gillian Foster, to work out who is lying in an interview, and why.
Starring Tim Roth, Kelli Williams, Monica Raymund
Procedural fans who like watching a sharp expert take a suspect apart will settle in quickly, especially if House's sourness suits them. Tim Roth plays Lightman blunt and worn out, treating every conversation as a puzzle. At Fort Meade, he sees that a soldier making an assault claim is shielding someone else. The cases vary enough that none feel copied.
Season one is a short thirteen-episode run; season two stretches to twenty-two and leans more on procedural cases than on the science.
