Poker Face

bella_nicole42 shared a tip "This… now this I like. And that’s not a lie, ask Charlie. Rian Johnson, you’ve done it again. Natasha Lyonne is killing it as this detective. I’m going to follow this series very closely."

fawn_mokulis shared a tip "Honestly a great show, clever, well written in places... Natasha is hugely likable. Here are my issues it feels very "well here we are again" for most mystery watchers you know this feeling... essentially, the cast has to be strong enough to have you overlook it. Because there is only one repeating cast member, it puts the weight solely on Natasha's shoulders. So far, she's going great, great cameos as well... but I have a suspicion at a certain point this will fade unless they do something...I suspect it'll be the subplot (I hate subplots) but I'm here regardless because there are some things done here that make it an enjoyable fade."

melissa_craver shared a tip "I eagerly awaited the release of this Rian Johnson created show after only recently discovering the fun of the Knives Out movies and craving more! I feel like the first 5 episodes I’ve watched unfold and are shot very cinematically and are extremely well done both in the mystery plot of the week, the acting as well as the unique locales utilized. However, after a high stakes set up in the pilot that puts our main character in danger and on the run, each episode is a stand alone which introduces a different cast of characters, introduces the audience to a crime fairly early and then our main character Natasha Lyonne (Charlie Cale) is put into the story and finds a way to solve the case. Most episodes have a tag at the end which move the overarching storyline forward of why Charlie is on the run and the imminent danger that she is in (which was set up in the pilot) but this episode format may frustrate some that feel that not enough happens with Charlie’s story. Personally, I’ve been engrossed in the storytelling and excellent use of guest actors in each episode and the mystery has kept me hooked. Natasha Lyonne was made for this role and I am loving it. Rian Johnson said in an interview that I saw after watching these that he was inspired by Columbo and wanted to make little movies and have the audience know who did it but have Charlie slowly uncover it. Episode 5 with Judith Light & S.Epatha Merkeson is not to be missed! There are a scheduled 12 eps I think this season so there’s time for the bad guys on Charlie’s tail to catch her and I can’t wait to see how she outwits them!"

joshua_smith_3234 shared a tip "Like the creator and the Knives Out films. First episode showed promise. Second episode felt like really lazy network tv type of writing. I honestly was just waiting for it to be over. Only finished two episodes, but if the third doesn’t improve a great deal, then I’m done."

meredith_pope shared a tip "another masterpiece from one of my favorite writers/directors, it has the feel of a one-off sitcom, but an underlying connection throughout. can't wait for the rest of the season"

kevin_simons shared a tip "Love the unique take on the procedural with incredible guest stars. Having a lead like the one of a kind, Natasha Lyonne, is the perfect topping to the pitch perfect writing and execution of each episode."

DjCount shared a tip "P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face. So I'm 2 episodes in out of the 4 that just dropped, and 10 total on the way, and I'm enjoying it so far. The show is Created by Rian Johnson (not Lady Gaga 👩‍🎤), the creator of the Knives Out movies. I thought it was gonna be a mystery every episode, but you see the murder right t in the beginning. The show is about Natasha Lyonne's character going through the steps to solve the crime with her ability to always tell when someone is lying. The event in the first episode puts her on the run and apparently as she is avoiding Benjamin Bratt's character she will be running into some misbehavings that she will help sort out along the way. The show is funny, and even though you see whodunnit it's fun to watch Natasha figure it out on her own. So far it's a 👍 from me. Also, guest stars throughout the episodes 😁. Lady Gaga had a huge hit song called Poker Face years ago in case you live under a rock and didn't get the joke up there ☝️. So don't rain on me, and give me some applause for that joke. And if you like this show, use the telephone, call your friends, and give them a million reasons why they should try it for themselves. And when your done with all that.....just dance 🪩💃🕺(I had no intention of referencing Gaga so damn much when I first started, but whatta ya gonna do? 🤣)"

willie_sneed shared a tip "Great show. Natasha Lyonne, kills it! Throwback to the detective series from the ‘70s. From the font/style of the title cards, to the the Easter Egg ladies Casio digital watch, she wears. Solid entertainment."

maja_furlong shared a tip "A brand-new favourite series! The writing is very good (good dialogue, well-plotted stories), the production values are good, great guest stars and Natasha is her usual awesome self! If you like old-style crime dramas from the 70s (like “Columbo”) with a modern twist, this show is for you!"

alyssa_edmonds shared a tip "Very long, seems to have no plot or storyline. No suspense; bored as bored as can be watching. Loved epsiode 1, episode 2 was drawwwwwn out until about 20 minutes in. Weird."

angeykirby shared a tip "I’m not gonna lie Natasha Lyonne is the only reason I even had an interest in this show but I’m glad I tuned in because there are so many things to love about this show! I mean Natasha Lyonne is a gem but the rest of the rotating cast is fantastic as well! Even though the through line disappears a lil during the middle of the season I love how it’s still lingering in the back but you also have fresh new faces and plots every episode. I really hope there is a season two!"

AlexiaN71 shared a tip "I couldn’t love this show more as as person born in the early 70’s, it plays like a show from the late 70’s and 80’s the way it’s shot, the opening credits, the musicality, acting, it’s like if Columbo, Barretta, Vegas and Charlie’s Angels merged into one and had a baby it was Poker Face. Natasha Leon is outstanding and the other actors are too notch that they have as regulars or being in as guest stars. Truly one of the best shows I’ve seen in a very long time. I am not a murder mystery person normally. Highly recommend."
