You can't handle the truth.

It occurred to me the other day that I enjoy shows that center around deception. Or at least ones that have characters who have no qualms about lying to other people (usually to get information). There's Alias and Veronica Mars, especially. But also Weeds, Smallville, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and any other show that centers around superheroes saving the world and hiding who they really are.

I'm sure this says that deeply hidden desire to lie to the people around me and hide who I really am, or something like that.

Or it could be that it makes for good television.
