Lie To Me recently won the 'Favourite TV Crime Drama' at the People's Choice Awards. Win at the PCA means having people's approval and love.There are so many reasons that this series has such fan following, but I'd like to take time to list a few important ones.
Lie To Me is more than people fighting crime. Firstly, the people at Lightman Group aren't ordinary folk. They are, in my opinion, a band of misfits and (in the positive sense) freaks. When you see them work at reading witnesses, you are bound to think that this is the job for them. They hardly come across as your average joes or plain janes. As scripted in the series, they also have a hard time seperating their professional life from personal. When a family member lies, its hard for them to let go.
Secondly, when Agent Reynold's character was added, Lightman Group became affiliated with the FBI. This was a significant step, since earlier they would seem a bit like vigilantes. Now we see an official group, that solves crime through their science. One which they have practiced.
Thirdly, Tim Roth. He is brilliant. He can be a bit English sometimes, but he adds a high electricity to the series. He is the King of the Misfits and he excels in such characters. As evident, he made little impact in Virgin Territory or Incredible Hulk, but here we get to see a Four Rooms' Tim Roth, one who can barely control himself, causing chaos and getting your attention.
