Cool enough to check an episode or two out. by password.swordfish	Jul 1st, 2008 12:49:45 AM
Besides I love Tim Roth, and wish he had more work. He earned that as Mr. Orange.

The Fuck Up.
13 eps of Roth staring intently, then saying "you're lying"? by newc0253	Jul 1st, 2008 03:28:27 AM
Maybe he could do variations, to keep it interesting: "you're not telling me the whole story!" "you're fabricating!" "you're dissembling!" "you're telling porky pies!" "you're being untruthful!" etc.,
DECEIVER in reverse? by futureboymaddog	Jul 1st, 2008 03:44:23 AM
Anyone remember that film with Roth, Zellweger, Rooker, Arquette and Penn where he played the guy who beat the lie detector? Wonder if he'll question himself? I actually really liked that film.
Also... by futureboymaddog	Jul 1st, 2008 03:45:01 AM
Basically, he's going to be playing Christopher Walken in TRUE ROMANCE?
Such a waste of talent by ev1ldead	Jul 1st, 2008 05:00:44 AM
Why can't he go to HBO, Showtime, F/X or AMC? Why this shitty network Crime procedural/House Rip-Off? Are they paying so much more? This is the same shit like James Woods in Shark or James Caan in Las Vegas.
Hmmmm. by fiester	Jul 1st, 2008 05:06:57 AM
Now I've always seen Roth as a big screen actor. If he wanted to commit to a series I wish he'd found something more interesting on a network that would support the show, such as FX or even that much maligned (and deserving of the criticism) HBO. Fox will probably cancel it after three shows for "World's Biggest Ass" reality show.
Does anyone remember "Angela's Eyes"? by Cypher	Jul 1st, 2008 08:21:03 AM
Seems to be pretty much exactly the same premise from only a couple of years ago. Failed then, can't say this will wow me either.
They should use the Tom Waits song... by TKurata	Jul 1st, 2008 08:31:24 AM
"Lie to Me" as the theme music. T'would be baddass.
don't do an accent Tim by thinboyslim.	Jul 1st, 2008 09:27:56 AM
as long as he doesn't ape an american accent this could be pretty cool.
YES YES YES by ciroslive	Jul 1st, 2008 11:34:25 AM
Tim Roth on American TV? Good. Tim Roth on FOX show? Bad. This should be on FX
Glad to see such a Roth resurgence lately... by DanielKurland	Jul 1st, 2008 11:35:49 AM
He deserves it.
but 13 episodes isn't nearly enough time by smackfu	Jul 1st, 2008 11:43:57 AM
to prematurely cancel it and kick all your viewers in the junk.
Promise 13.... Air 3 by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2008 11:47:59 AM
and switch out the timeslot to Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire.... On the other hand, is this a sea-change for Fox? Seems like they are giving a LOT of actual scripted drama's a chance this fall. Is there new management there, does anyone know?
ABC airs clumsy oafs swimming in mud ... by Willie3D	Jul 1st, 2008 01:32:41 PM
...and you continue to refer to FOX as a "netlet"????
On Fox? Canceled in 1 season. by ZeroCorpse	Jul 1st, 2008 06:52:41 PM
Seriously. When has Fox ever been decent to a non-reality, non-sitcom, non-soap series? They'll air it in the wrong order, shuffle it around, pre-empt it for sports, and claim it gets low ratings, then they'll yank it.

Excuse me I'm just working out how to do paragraph breaks here It's embarassing. I know
The closer??? by Oski	Jul 2nd, 2008 08:07:43 AM
Sounds like it.
Sounds like Daredevil by slone13	Jul 2nd, 2008 11:52:15 AM
But with a regular dude instead of a blind guy in red tights.
Bene Gesserit Trained I love it. by CrichtonAstronut	Jul 2nd, 2008 12:00:32 PM
