I thought this episode was great, best one so far! The man on home arrest with one night of freedom is a really fun hook.

Joseph Gordon Levitt was perfect this whole episode. I always had hoped for Benjamin Bratt to have a big role in this season so having him back for the finale will be great. kind of want the show to go full Columbo if it goes a few more seasons after 2, bring back the coolest guest stars to be a different type of rear end in a top hat

I think the episode just going with "Mortimer Bernstein" is my favourite joke so far.

Kind of funny how Charlie survives getting stabbed right in her chest. At this point she should just let the baddies catch up with her since she'll bounce back once they "kill" her.

Howdunnit is a different thing entirely, e.g. Inside Man (2006).

This means they get to incorporate Natasha Lyonne's real life gnarly surgery scar into the character.

It was pretty funny how bad JGL was at telling if people were actually dead.

I assumed she somehow blocked it with the ankle monitor and faked being stabbed. I went back and watched it in slow-motion; she grabs the ankle monitor and stuffs it under her jacket a millisecond before he stabs her.

This was a great episode, I love how quickly they established JGL's character. I was hoping he'd be the one getting murdered.

That makes more sense, I thought it would be the one time she had her wallet NOT stolen and that was how she survived, but then that clearly wasn't true

Call me crazy but what if this show has even more magical realism than we thought, and Charlie's superpower is actually more complicated than "can tell truth from lies," and involves some form of immortality as well as causing people she comes across to die?

Not likely but makes u think

I was thinking “regardless of anything going on with Charlie, JGL’s character is going to have some explaining to do about how his car ended up with a dead woman in it at the bottom of a cliff”.

except

She’s a master thief with rap sheet a mile long. If he got away with it, that would be how.

i only saw the first two episodes so far but i like this and i think it's a better thing for natasha lyonne to be doing than russian doll was, which kind of annoyed me. her schtick is entertaining, it just needs a good place to belong and happenstance columbo is perfect.

i liked ep1 more than 2 but i enjoyed both. i think the writing is a bit corny but that's okay. i hope the way she solves these things can become more inventive, or at least not play it's hand so obviously because i figured out what her next clue was going to be before she did too early. but i am very up for an episodic road trip crime solving outcast show.

Well I love how that wrapped up, and it was particularly satisfying that what did Cliff in was that initial murder of Charlie's friend, rather than all his other crap, and OF COURSE he immediately turned the moment the pressure was on him.

I was laughing at this every time it popped up. If burn notice can make it 6 seasons, poker face can make it to 100 eps. I mean, how expensive can these things be to make?

Good finale! Pretty much what I expected - not a season highlight, but a great wrap-up to the story set up in the pilot. Loved the scenes with DuVall and the whole dick ring thing, and certainly managed to have more twists than I expected in a really satisfying way. So happy we’re getting more and can’t wait for Perlman 2.0

I mean I guess song lyrics are also poetry but lol that makes it seem a whole lot less erudite.

Thanks, I’ve heard loads of versions but that’s such a good cover, the score underneath really adds something to it, it’s got Jim Croce vibes.

Been listening to that Blues Traveller song on repeat since too, and agreed it’s awesome except the whole whitest rap ever bit.
