Lie to Me
When: Premieres Jan. 21 on FOX. It airs Wednesday nights at 9/8c.
Main Players: Tim Roth
What’s it all about?: Dr. Cal Lightman can tell the truth and read inner feelings by observing a subject’s face, body, voice and speech. It’s a gift that comes in handy as a member of the law enforcement community, but one that often leads to complication in his personal life.
What to expect?: Landing the much-desired post American Idol time slot, Lie to Me, for better or worse, will have a lot of people watching on day one. The concept and addition of the creepy, yet always solid, Roth are contributing to an increase in positive buzz. The last piece of the puzzle, as always, is for it to have enough to distinguish itself from a TV landscape rich with one-hour dramas.
