CGiii Comment
No faulting the production values or the acting - it's the subject matter that is the main concern...after a while it becomes a tedious masterclass in lie detection and (corny) twists in the conclusion.
This would have been much, much better as an intensive mini-series - it's just not compelling enough to be compulsive.
Too formulaic. Too repetitive.
Episodes of interest:
The Better Half (Season 1, Episode 10)
Pied Piper (Season 2, Episode 19)

Dr. Cal Lightman teaches a course in body language and makes an honest fortune exploiting it. He's employed by various public authorities in various investigations, doing more when the police etc. fail to go the extra mile. So he can afford to constitute a team of his own, which like clients and others has to put up with his mind-games.
