PopMatters

It's through such visual devices that Lie to Me repeatedly aligns viewers with Lightman's view. In much the same way, the show frequently cuts to commercials via photos of celebrities looking variously guilty according to FACS, so that you might recognize the expressions Lightman describes, and so feel that you can see what he sees.

Season 3 might now be much adventures and dramatic like the other 2 seasons but there surely are very interesting episodes. The entire series revolves around Dr. Lightman played beautifully Tim Roth. Again his attitude and way to work and dark humor reminds me about Sherlok and so does Dr. House and Patick Jane from The Mentalist. The series is very entertaining and its fun to notice how expressions and body language helps to solve crimes.
