1. it might get canceled! experience tells me that good shows get canceled. this is just history. right now, it's running about 9/12 in the ratings, and i think it needs to do better. it has american idol as a lead in (though it might be changing to lead in to american idol? i can't remember) and that can't hurt, but really!
2. it's got a cool concept! it's based off of real-life guy paul ekman, a psychologist who has been pioneering in emotions and their relationship to facial expressions. and you'll learn a lot about the facial action coding system! which is really cool. you can think about phrenology and wonder what the relationship is. OH. and they do cool clips of pictures of actual people doing the things they're talking about. IT WILL MAKE YOU THINK!
3. it's a procedural, which means it can hit your bones/csi/l&o/whatever kinks! THERE ARE MYSTERIES TO SOLVE, PEOPLE.
4. it's got cool people in it! AND THEY ARE ATTRACTIVE!
5. I HAVE INCLUDED CLIPS!
note: i am at work and cannot hear the sound. so if any of these SOUND weird, sorry!
6. there are hot women!
7. it's got snappy dialogue!
8. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!
the first four episodes are up for your viewing pleasure at hulu.

i caught the first episode and loved it, and then relocated to a house with no tv, and not a whole lot of time to catch up. but i will! because i really liked it in a way tv never really impresses me right off the bat!
Oh, this show is totally getting cancelled quicker than I can say "lie to me" (although, at least the first two episodes did really well in the ratings), but I'm planning on enjoying the ride while it lasts.
But seriously, Gillian needs to get rid of that train wreck of a husband she has.
ALSO. WTF IS GILLIAN'S HUSBAND? also, jillian's plot line with her husband, antifeminist, y/y? (oh ho, i spend a lot of time thinking about the place of girls in the world.)
if i wrote gillian/ria, do you think it'd be the first in the fandom?? ;)
also. i need an icon. or forty.
I'm almost 100% certain your fic would be the first in the fandom, which is why you should totally write it! ;) I mean, did you see the repetition of the Gillian/Ria 'one standing, one sitting' pose from a few weeks back in Wednesday's episode? *g*
