Lie Detector EXPOSES ‘Poker Face’! You Won’t Believe What He Said!

BBG News

An ex-police officer, now a specialist in detecting deceit (often referred to as Australia’s ‘Human Lie Detector’), has shed light on why the Stan Original Series Poker Face accurately portrays the field of lie detection.

Steve Van Aperen, an expert in the psychology of liars and a renowned keynote speaker, gave his professional endorsement to the show “Poker Face,” starring Natasha Lyonne as a character adept at identifying lies immediately, to Daily Mail Australia.

Steve started by saying, “There’s a strong scientific basis for it. I’m referring to avoiding eye contact, staying hidden, and using disguises. It’s clear that professionals in this field coached the actors.

Many aspects I observed regarding evasion and blocking seem remarkably similar to real-life situations. The writing is exceptionally realistic.

As an avid admirer, I can’t help but be thrilled by the fact that Jill Soloway’s creation, Charlie Cale, employs genuine strategies from our world to expose deceit – it’s a captivating touch that truly elevates the show!

‘She asks the right questions, she’s like a modern-day Columbo!’

Steve also mentioned his appreciation for the character’s consistent reliance on her intuition, which is crucial in identifying insincerity.

He mentioned, “Have you ever encountered someone who seems overly confident or boastful, making you suspect them? Why do we feel this way? What aspects of human behavior lead us to question others in such a manner?

‘It is all about psychology, understanding why people do what they do.’

Additionally, he considers “Poker Face” beneficial for viewers aiming to enhance their ability to detect lies, mainly because the character portrayed by Lyonne is quite perceptive.

If someone doesn’t respond when you ask them a question, it could be a sign of concern or evasion, so pay attention. (He stated this.)

‘Do they seem more opposed than dismissive when it comes to their actions? In my expertise from investigating homicides, I’d say this is skillfully portrayed in the series.’

In the TV show called “Stan,” Lyonne’s character is Charlie Cale, a casino employee who has an extraordinary knack for spotting falsehoods.

In each installment, she engages with various individuals who often attempt to mislead her. Using a combination of non-verbal cues, spoken hints, and intuition, she manages to expose the real facts.

Steve concluded by expressing his high regard for a specific part of the performance, as it accurately depicted the scientific principles involved in lie detection.

He mentioned that one fundamental aspect I often introduce, which is evident in the series as well, is that an effective interviewer poses relevant questions.

‘If your question is not clear from both sides it allows a deceptive person room to wriggle out.’

This American comedy-drama series boasts a stellar lineup of actors, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Chloë Sevigny, Adrien Brody, Nick Nolte, as well as the talented Danielle Macdonald from Australia.

It is perfect viewing for fans of other Stan crime comedies such as Good Cop/Bad Cop.

2023 found me, an over-the-moon fan, thrilled to pieces when Cailah Scobie, Stan’s visionary Chief Content Officer, spilled the beans about their master plan. This genius move involved investing in top-tier global productions, a strategy designed to cast a wider net and draw more viewers like me into their streaming service fold.

Following the achievement of hit series The Tourist and Wolf Like Me in Australia, Stan now finds itself capable of producing even more top-tier content for global audiences.

You can currently stream all ten episodes from season one, as well as the initial four episodes of season two, of the Poker Face series on Stan. A fresh episode will be added each week, with this continuing until July 10th.
