    Got really stupid in the end. But Love the show and all the cool info they gave you. It did need to end though.

    I really wanted to like this show but ended up finding it very silly indeed. The whole premise of the show, subtle facial expressions and micro twitches, ended up becoming increasingly ludicrous until it reached the point where I couldn't watch it without groaning and continually rolling my eyes. A shame really as Tim Roth is a great actor.

  • Lie to Me and tell me it's not cancelled!!

    Just discovered this series and so bummed that it ended. Fascinating science, well played characters and it's gone. Typical FOX - I could say the same of "the Finder".

  • Why the hell was this show cancelled?

    REALITY TELEVISION DESTROYED ENTERTAINMENT FOR SMART PEOPLE!! When networks realized they could turn a profit without employing talented writers and actors the end was near.

  • bring back Cal Lightman!!!

  • Wish it'd come back :(

    When I first heard of it, I was thinking, "Cool, I would watch that if I had time." Later, when I watched an episode, I was hooked.



    I actually know the cousin of Paul Ekman, the mastermind behind microexpressions and fact checker of Lie To Me. In fact, Mr. Don Ekman's my AP psych teacher here in Oregon :D When I looked up Paul Ekman to see if it was true, I saw that he did Lie To Me, and I started watching it on Netflix. I wish there were more episodes. The 'Let There Be LIGHTMAN Revolution,' I hope it'll work. It'll let FOX know that there are still avid viewers out there who want to see more and more of it.

  • Return request.

    Just discovered this on Netflix last night & was fully immersed. Sad to see it wasn't what more Americans wanted. Think it's great & very worth while. Specially when Dr Lightman went to get a sandwich from a vendor & asked him if he washed his hands. Of course the vendor lied so Dr Lightman alerted all around that they might enjoy a feces sandwich from the guy.

  • hoping it to come back some how........????

    I just watched the last episode on Netflix and I didn't realize it was the last one till I looked for more episodes and couldn't find any. It is a wonderful show and I don't know why they canceled it. It's really sad. I hope they realize how much this show is missed and they make more episodes. :(

  • INTRICATE AND HABIT FORMING

    By WILDMAN2FL, Jul 05, 2012
    I don't remember why I didn't regularly watch this show. I found it on NetFlix and have been watching 3-4 episodes every night. The intertwining sub plots are way more fun than the gritty main themes and the personal involement among the Lightman Group keeps you coming back to see when / if Lightman and Gillian are ever going to really be an item.

    I always wondered if the examples shown as the frozen stills would get them political pressure--many pics of presidents and first ladies in a less than perfect spotlight.......

    This was a wonderfully written show and the actors were really getting it right....I miss your art.

    A great show. Why did they have to cancele it? You might say i'm crazy but things I saw in the show about this science are truly happening in the real life. the difference is that know I can translate what I see. In Fox they kept the fringe and touch. Average shows, not even close to this one. Bring it back!!

  • GREAT TV...

    Why keep "trashy reality" shows on the air and get rid of a great show like this.



    BRING IT BACK.

  • Best show of all time.

    Not just because I am a scientist and I love things like this, but because it is generally interesting. The series should not be cancelled. I think it deserves to be renewed. If it is promoted enough, I think it will be very successful. It's amazing. Way more interesting than NCIS. And yet that show has so many damn seasons.

  • PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

    I loved the show and feel the show. Although I cannot relate with the father and daughter thing [Dr.Lightman and Emily] I envy their bonding, and how Dr.Lightman loves her daughter how he protects her and get scared whenever somebody put his daughter in harm or whatever. Also this show do not bore me while watching it. Some of the shows are a bit boring and not as exciting as this show. IT IS A D*MN GOOD SHOW!!!! JUST BRING IT BACK!!!!

  • Please return series on our screens a letter from Russia

    Excellent episode, but not finished. And it is unclear what happened to the protagonist. The main actor is terrific. I am sure that if the series will continue, it will attract more viewers.

  • Let There Be LIGHTMAN

    Many people in Romania couldn't agree more than this tv show is great and we are all hoping that it will be brought back to TV.

  • Bring it back...

    I absolutely love Lie to me, the actors are fantastic, the stories are original and inventive... They really drop a good show and should really reconsider bring it back. That's the best show they had on FOX.... Does not watch that channel anymore. Really hope they will realize their mistake and bring it back.

  • BRING BACK LIE TO ME!!!!

    I hate it when you (FOX) takes and puts on a GREAT SHOW WITH A GREAT STORY LINE and than turn around and cancels it. You even stopped in a suspenseful way. I really was hoping to see how it would turn out between Cal and Gillian.. PUT IT BACK ON!!!!

    This was an amazing and unique show that needs to be brought back to TV. There was not another show quite like it, and it should NEVER have been cancelled!! Instead of being some mindless show about next to nothing, it was really, really interesting!! Maybe if enough people complain, it will come back!!!

  • Really?

    This show has been canceled? Really why? I don't understand why I thought Lie To Me was a great show.

    Fox ALWAYS does this with good shows. They get canceled. Sick. Oh well. Would love to see Tim Roth in something else. He's a great actor!

  • This show must continue

    I love this show. This may or may not sound sad but I actually tried to schedule around it to catch it. I was greatly amused by Dr. Lightman's antics. I was even amused by the sometimes pouting Eli Loker. I admit I enjoy all of the characters (their quarks & personalities) in, Lie to Me*. I would be delighted if the show continued on Fox (channel 32.. I don't have cable) for another season or two.

  • Seriously

    I have been watching this show since day one!!!!!!!!!!! Broke girls made the cut, are you serious. Lie to me was tantalizing and different.....I can not believe this......oh lets just keep all the stupid shows and get rid of all the ones that actually make you use your brain a little.

  • I hope you are LYING TO ME
