I've been watching this since it started and I love!! and no it's not a rip off of the mentalist. i would love to have the job and SKILL of being a human lie detector! what fun but also as we see it could also be very intrusive in your day to day life. especially how they are showing it between Lightman and Foster. there's no way she doesn't have a clue what her husbands up to!!
regarding the character progression of Loker - i loved him at first espically with the no lieing thing but what he just did in episode 8 - i'm not sure i like where their taking his character. he was so fresh now not so much. hopefully they have a really good reason and let him go back to being who he was in episode 1
