The media text I recognise as offering us 'sweetness and light' is the American Drama series 'Lie to Me'. The programme was released in January 2009 on the Fox network. The tag line for the show is 'The Truth is Written All Over Our Faces". The programme is about Dr.Lightman and his colleagues of The Lightman Group that collaborate in FBI investigations with applied psychology. They read through people's gestures in order to understand whether they are telling the truth or not. The story is based on real scientific discoveries. It is believed that people have universal gestures that point out the way they feel.
I find the programme to have productional and educational value. It goes into deep knowledge of psychology and offers interesting plot and story. Editing is of high standart, as well as the choice of actors. It could be labeled as 'the best that is thought or said' because it is a unique programme and nothing like it has been broadcasted before. The application of psychology distinguishes it from all other crime and police series, which normally have detectives as main characters.
