Is anyone watching this?

It stars the awesome Tim Roth as a specialist in detecting when people are lying - each episode covers a different case: like murders, suicides, political scandals etc. It is actually really enjoyable and has started to become quite gripping.

So who's a fan?

I think Hexx watches it.

A damning review.

Tim Roth is meant to be brilliant with everything else letting it down. I was going to watch the pilot on Sky but totally forgot and now I can't be bothered.

Tim Roth is excellent but I wouldn't say it was a bad show. The premise to me seems like it could only run maybe 1 or 2 seasons but as the series has gone on they are developing the characters a little more. Each episode could stand alone quite happily but they are continuing certain storylines throughout and leaving some episodes with a cliffhanger which makes it a little more interesting and gripping.

Yes, I watch it! Tim Roth is excellent, worth watching for him alone. Most of the rest of the show does seem to be padding, but there are a few back stories coming out now and again about him and the other characters that are quite interesting.

It's no Dollhouse, though.

Yes I agree IGM. The back stories need to come out as it seems like it could start wearing thin very quickly. Still I watch it every week and do enjoy it.

Yep, I watch it. Quite liking it too.

Tim Roth is the main reason for watching, I haven't clicked with the other characters yet and find the "I tell the truth about everything!" assistant guy deeply annoying.

It's fairly similar to The Mentalist but is different enough to still be enjoyable, it helps that they're an independent company rather than just another cop department.

I'm watching this too. I've only watched the first three episodes but have gone from seeing it as an Eliza Dushku vanity project to something a lot deeper, worth sticking with I reckon.
