It’s Thursday again. Lie to Me and The Mentalist day. I’ve encountered these TV shows in CS9 about a month ago while looking for an alternative to the Kapamilya dramas, and since then, watching them has became part of my Thursdays.
************
Both are investigative shows, ala-CSI. LIE to ME uses expressions and body language to determine if the victims, suspects, and everyone involved in the crime are lying or keeping something. The Mentalist, on the other hand, as its title implies, they use mentality; the lead actor usually psyche those involved in the case. Different cases composed every week’s episode with cases closed and justice served before the 60th minute.
************
The shows are fictional and mainly for entertainment purposes only, but can’t it happen in the real world. Can’t we have those kind of people on our justice system? People who really have pure intentions and courage to investigate and know the truth. No bribery, no under the table negotiations, no brainwash. Can’t we have that kind of justice system? Cases solved in a matter of days or weeks, but NOT years or NEVER.
