I have only just discovered this series. [insert obligatory "how come nobody told me about this" + replies to the effect of "we did"]
It suits me perfectly. Tim Roth + the illusion of being able to scientifically investigate lies. It is the type of thing that will keep me hooked for a very long time.

The show is based off the work of Paul Ekman who has spent his career investigating facial micro-expressions. I believe he is a consultant to the show and it might have even been his idea. I believe some facial recognition technology is based off of some of his work. I know he was working with the government on the technology to spot aggressive/"terrorist" types in airports and other public transportation.

Yes, the show is pretty entertaining although the science is a lot more subtle (lots of hours viewing film in slow motion with multiple interpreters).
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

It is not really an illusion.
