Lie to Me


Ever wanted to know how to catch someone in a lie? Lately my husband and I have been watching this show on Netflix.  I had seen a lot of the episodes when it was on TV and enjoyed them.  Lie to Me is about a company that gets paid to tell when people are lying.  They determine the emotions people have by their body language and speech patterns.  It's so fascinating!
Unfortunately this show was only on for 3 seasons from 2009-2011.  It was a disappointment that it was canceled and I think they did it out of the blue because the story line wasn't ever "wrapped up" and there wasn't really a last episode feel to the last episodes.

According to Wikipedia-
The show is inspired by the work of Paul Ekman, the world's foremost expert on facial expressions and a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine. Dr. Ekman has served as an advisor to police departments and anti-terrorism groups (including the Transportation Security Administration) and acted as a scientific consultant in the production of the series. He is also the author of 15 books, including "Telling Lies" and "Emotions Revealed".

Like I mentioned before, this show is lots of fun to watch!  Learning what the slightest facial twitches mean.  It's so fascinating, I want to study the show and related books more and learn how to be able to use the skills myself.
