.Best.Episode.Ever.
Fatmadxb12 February 2010
I'm a huge fan of Lie To Me, it's so original, exciting and the characters are so interesting. But this episode was different, this episode was THE episode of Lie To Me.

I have never seen an episode like this air on TV before. It is so well-thought and the plot is mind-blowing. Twisted, and filled with malice is what describes this episode.

Daniel Sunjata who plays a major role in this episode as the psychopath rapist is beyond amazing, he is one hell of an actor. He is so charming in a creepy way, I can't find the words to describe it. His easiness and calmness makes you shiver at the sight of him. I'm trying my best to describe how amazing this episode is, but I just can't, you HAVE to watch it.

LOVE.THIS.EPISODE

9/10
The Copycat
claudio_carvalho6 January 2024
The Copycat Cal is assigned by the FBI to go undercover to prison to find who is the copycat of the prisoner Andrew Jenkins. He unsuccessfully tries to approach the serial-rapist, but his identity is disclosed. Jenkins, who raped and blinded his victims, has many fans and one of them might be his copycat. Dr. Lightman brings the criminal to his office, but Jenkins is a master liar and he has difficulties to find his deceptions. But they need to find the next victim Camille before she is wounded.

"Blinded" is probably the best episode of "Lie to Me" so far. The plot of a serial rapist that blinds his victims with acid after raping them is intriguing and has an unexpected conclusion. Poor Michelle Russell when she learns who her husband is. Maybe this is the more heartbreaking part of the show. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Blinded"

Another cheesy episode with predictable twist
interestingstuff30 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I'd give this episode 5/10 on a good day because I liked the guest actors but that's about the only good thing I'd say about this episode.

This entire episode was set up to make viewers think that Dr. Lightman is a super smart guy who knows it all and he can play everyone even his own people. The entire episode goes with people praising Dr. Lightman and saying how "he's a genius" and how "he's so great at his job" and kissing up to him throughout the entire episode. We get it, the writers of this show are in love with the guy.

And the "plot twist" at the end where the killer turns out to be victim's husband is literally the oldest plot twist in history. It's been done only like 234234234 times in the past and everyone who has ever seen a TV show in their lives already saw it coming halfway into the episode. There were zero surprises there even though we are expected to be shocked by this "plot twist" that has already been done literally millions of times before.

This whole show is full of old recycled cheap clichés with zero creativity. This episode is supposedly the best episode of the show (based on IMDB ratings) and it's just full of old recycled predictable cheap clichés and extremely predictable ending which goes to show how cheesy and predictable this whole show is. This is one of the most overrated episodes of one of the most overrated shows in history.
