Lie to Me, the crime drama starring Tim Roth, has been added to ITVX for free after fans repeatedly called for its return. The series originally aired from 2009 to 2011 and follows Dr Cal Lightman and his team as they use expertise in microexpressions and body language to uncover the truth in investigations.
The show features Roth as Dr Cal Lightman, alongside Kelli Williams as Dr Gillian Foster, Brendan Hines, Monica Raymund, Hayley McFarland, and Mekhi Phifer. ITV's synopsis teases a case involving the son of a family of Jehovah's Witnesses accused of killing his teacher.
Fans have been vocal about their love for the series, with one calling it 'absolutely brilliant TV' and another saying it 'deserves more than 3 seasons'. Many have described it as a 'perfect' and 'under-appreciated gem' that was cancelled too early.
In an interview, Roth revealed that the character evolved over time, with producers initially worried about his English accent but later embracing it. He praised the show's quirky and comedic aspects, contrasting them with actors who 'whisper their way through their work'.
