mostly Lie to Me
I have blazed through all the Lie to Me that there is so far, and I find myself a little disappointed. I really loved season 1. Season 2...much less so.

YES! I want the scene after "Grievous Bodily Harm" when Cal realizes that Gillian missed the suicidal girl and has been dealing with that while he's been off with Terry. Or an acknowledgment of how hard the case in "Black Friday" must have been for Gillian--easily as difficult as "Do No Harm," yet it's as though everyone has somehow forgotten that a case about an adopted child might bring up issues for her.
So yes, here's hoping the back half of the season does a better job with some of this.
