Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) is head of the Lightman Group, a team of deception experts who study faces and body movements to determine who is lying and who isn't when a crime occurs. The show is inspired by a real life psychologist who's discoveries include reading faces, voices, and body "language" and forming conclusions from what is given away by the human psyche. This form of investigation is helpful in finding out the truth when criminal activity involves good liars. Dr. Cal Lightman is played by actor Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction) who is both star and executive producer. His way of finding out the truth is both blunt and to the point; he loves to get in a suspects face and be antagonistic. Side stories involving his personal side and relationship with his young daughter are interesting and often humorous, especially when he applies his work day knowledge toward family relationships. Lie To Me is a top rated show on the Fox Network each Monday evening.

Mob Wives is called a "documentary soap opera" with good reason. It is a story about people who don't exist because there is no such thing as the Mob or Cosa Nostra or Mafia! But there are those living among us who know better. The housewives, parents, and children of mob and criminal related individuals are shadowy figures who live in the background of their powerful husbands and fathers until the bad guys get caught and must spend time behind bars. Then these formerly quiet and reserves ladies capably take matters in their own hands and go about their lives. The four Mob Wives include a group of friends who support each other while their men are away and it's no easy task to attempt to maintain a lifestyle they've become used to when the main bread winner of the family is away incarcerated. James Molinaro, who is President of the Borough of Staten Island in New York has declared the show is a disgrace because it portrays not only Italian Americans but also Staten Island itself as being lowlife and detrimental.
