Tribute to the New Fam and my New Fav Fox Series
In the show, Tim Roth stars as a “human lie detector” that interprets human micro-expressions to bust bad guys.
Interestingly enough, the show is based on the work of the real-life Paul Ekman- whose Facial Action Coding System classifies every human expression, and who has made a special study of the unconscious bodily mechanics of deception. http://www.paulekman.com/index.html
One of the best things about the show is the fleeting images of famous people making the same expressions as the characters in the episode (i.e. Simon Cowel and Saddam Hussein showing “contempt,” Bill Clinton and OJ Simpson showing “shame,” and Barak Obama expressing “fear”)
It’s a super fascinating show and pretty entertaining as well.
So…just for fun, I thought I do a little analysis myself (thanks for all the sweet shots – Mitch!)

I don’t have a chance. I’ll never be able to lie to you now.
You never had a chance in the first place WE. Great post A2 – so funny that you found a photo to capture each of the expressions.
Funny A2.
Love the picts.
That made me giggle very hard.
Good job A2…..I relate to most of these folks. Thanks for the tribute.
Wow, that’s pretty good I think…though it’s scary that you already have us all figured out…
