The second season of Lie to Me ends--and thereby ending Shawn Ryan's run as showrunner. It's been an interesting change of pace, with the show going in a very different direction than the first season, and while it hasn't always been good--certain episodes really bugged me--and there are lots of people who dislike what the show has become, but for the most part, I enjoyed the fresh take on a police procedural.
Sometimes, episodes may get muddled in the twists and lack of plot coherence, but if there was one thing to count on this season with Lie to Me, it's the human factor. Sure "Darkness and Light" is an anti-porn episode, but there another side-the human side where people tell lies to protect others. The lingering moments in the episode between Emily and Cal, the coach and his daughters, and other combinations had a big emotional impact in context.
Score: 8.8/10
