The Lightman Group is headed by Dr. Cal Lightman and his partner Dr. Gillian Foster who is a gifted psychologist. She brings balance to the partnership by thinking about the overall picture while Lightman focuses on the details. Together they make an invincible team with insight into human behavior. Eli Loker is the lead researcher, who believes in radical honesty. He often gets in trouble for saying what he thinks. Ria Torres is one of the few "naturals" in the field of deception detection. She has an untapped ability to read people that makes her a force to be reckoned with the right training.

I figured now that this series is two episodes in, it can have a topic. The pilot was decent, but it was only a pilot, and those are rarely indicative of the rest of the series as a whole. I caught the second episode on FOX last night, and I believe this is and will be a quality show. It's got a marginally misanthropic main character who is never wrong to draw over all of the House fans, and a quirky supporting cast that will hopefully keep the show fresh going forward. I'm particularly interested in Loker and his "radical honesty" because I can see the point: If you work in a place where everybody knows you're lying, why bother trying to lie?

Have any of you caught the first couple episodes? Any thoughts? Do I have no taste? :P
