Watch Lie to Me Episode 3

Wow I have really been zipping through the Lie to Me episodes! I guess that's easy to do when you watch Lie to Me online. So last blog post I told you guys that this series is going to be big. This episode showed me I was wrong.

This series is going to be HUGE! Yet another one they knocked out of the park. Thanks to the very smart creation of the show there is so much potential. We still have no idea what Cal is all about, where he comes from, how his British (?) accent landed in the USA and the list goes on.

Personally I predict several episodes in future seasons where we get to see him exploring in the jungle when he was younger.

Anyway on to the episode.

Lie to Me episode 3

It seems to be a recurring theme now that there will be two different cases solved per episode. This is how they manage to tap into all of their acting capital. All four characters get sufficient time but not enough so that we run the risk of getting sick of them. Cal is edgy while his lead counterpart is more playful.

The two supporting are great to watch as well and obviously the whole idea behind always telling the truth is great because it makes for many funny moments. Not to mention it ties in very well with the whole "lie to me" theme.

In episode 3 of Lie to Me we get to watch as Cal investigates an Ivy League Prep school. Ah highschool, so fun to watch on TV. This time though we get much better writing than your average episode of Gossip Girl. This one shows Cal cracking heads and trying to figure out what a honor roll student died.

On top of that, we find out her mother is a judical nominee for the supreme court. Big stuff no? Again we spend timing ruling out the usual suspects and yet again we get thrown for a loop as to who the real killer is.

The secondary mystery too is a good one,where we follow a military airline pilot and try to figure out why he crashed a brand new test ship. Well, no surprise there, we get a solid answer that is fun to watch.

We also get to see some back story regarding Cal and his daughter. Seeing as that his wife left him for another man I'm sure we'll see her pop up as the Anti-Cal soon enough.

The real killer is found in the end but we're thrown for so many twists and turns I have to think that the writers of Lie to Me spend a lot of time watching all the other killer/CSI/mystery shows and then try to do the exact opposite. They've really managed to keep it fresh!
