The series is garbage. A bunch of so - called 'experts '. expertly 'analyse' the behaviour and mannerisms of people who they KNOW are guilty of the crimes of which they are accused We can all play that game! " scratches nose" - guilty ! "Waves hands" - guilty.! Well yes - because you KNOW the outcome. Bunkum and pseudo- science to titillate the (apparently) murder - obsessed viewing public. Pathetic!
It's very easy to pick out these tell tale signs in the already convicted..but none of this would be useful without all the other evidence. This programme couldn't be made about suspects because they'd be wrong more times than right...
As another reviewer pointed out, this is nothing more than self-described "experts" pointing at behavioral characteristics and claiming that they are somehow indicative of lying when the subject has already been exposed as a liar. In one case in the first series one of the "experts" actually engaged in the very behavior they claimed indicated lying *while they were saying the subject was a liar*!
It's well known to any investigator worth his/her salt that people behave differently and react to stress differently. Italians are well known for talking with their hands-- does that mean all of them are lying all the time? Of course not!
This isn't science by any stretch of the imagination-- it's the opinion of snake oil salesmen who would be working carnival sideshows if they hadn't scammed their way into a television show. Just as with bite mark analysis & hair analysis, these interpretations of behavior are highly subjective and are certainly not scientific.
Two points because some of the stories are interesting to those of us who haven't heard them before but minus 10 points to the so-called experts for their laughable, transparently bad "analysis".

I cant believe people take this seriously. Let them do it before any of the studies are found guilty. Laughable on all levels, experts of picking the guilty from the guilty.
