TVSA Recommends!!Lie To MePremiere date: Friday 25 September 2009 at 19h30
Lie to Me centres round former police officer, Dr. Cal Lightman, who helps uncover the truth for the FBI, local police, law firms, corporations, and individuals. He is effectively a human polygraph machine from whom no truth can be concealed.
Dr Lightman partners with a gifted female clinical psychologist, Dr. Gillian Foster, to establish an agency that offers private investigation and crime solving.
Dr Foster brings balance to the partnership by thinking about the overall picture while Lightman focuses on the details. Together they make an invincible team with insight into human behavior.
At the agency, they are assisted by lead researcher, Eli Loker, who believes in radical honesty and Ria Torres, one of the few "naturals" in the field of deception detection.
The show stars Tim Roth as Dr Cal Lightman, Kelli Williams as Dr. Gillian Foster, Brendah Hines as Eli Loker and Monica Raymund as Ria Torres.
