Previous show, aired on FBC from 2009-2011. The premise of it was solid - Dr. Paul Eckman's studies on micro-expressions, and the involuntary movements that come with it. But since the show was fictitious, and the criminal cases were just as scripted, how did the actors make the micro-expressions, if they were not truly expressing without showing it, on purpose at least?

They probably had consultants who coached the actors in how to mimic something close enough to pass for TV.

That was a good show. Sucks that they cancelled it.

Awesome show, got me into micro-expressions. There's an actual psychologist who does work like the main character, although the show is obviously dramatized.
His name is Paul Ekman, he wrote some great books that teach you how to read and deal with people's emotions.

I liked it because I enjoy Tim Roth's work.
