Lie to Me: Interesting take on police/detective work

Lie to Me

Wednesdays 9pm ET/PT

British actor Tim Roth stars as the leader of a forensics group that works on involuntary facial expressions and hand movements to detect various human emotions and verbal lies or falsifications. Fascinating at first look, which for me was this episode, regarding a possible assassination attempt on the South Korean ambassador to the U.S. at his son's wedding.

Tim Roth certainly plays his snob role well; he's generally dismissive of other security teams, such as U.S. Secret Service, he is forced to work with. I'd like to see other episodes when I have more time.
