Ever wonder what it would be like if you could read people’s minds by reading their faces, speech patterns, and body language? That’s basically what Lie to Me is about. We start a new round of The Show Off this week called “brilliant but cancelled,” aka “only the good die young.” Amanda’s pick is Lie to Me, a psychological procedural that made it about 2.5 seasons on Fox, starting in 2009 and ending in 2011.
We’re learning about microexpressions, language tells, how to incorrectly handle a hostage situation, how to correctly (if briefly) impersonate an FBI agent, a very codependent business partnership/friendship/situationship, the world’s stupidest rescue plan, and Chekhov’s literal gun. There may or may not be a pop quiz at the end of the episode, so pay attention!
We hope you enjoy and leave us your take in the comments!
