 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x2NzusLAqk Poker Face is a new mystery series on Peacock created by acclaimed filmmaker who has definitely never made a divisive movie ever no sir Rian Johnson, recently responsible for the Benoit Blanc flicks, and starring Natasha Lyonne as Johnson's pedigree and the fact they only have to do one episode means the ten-episode first season has a pretty wild array of guest stars, such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Chloe Sevigny, Adrien Brody, Hong Chau, Ron Perlman, RHEA Perlman, Tim Meadows, Jameela Jamil, Nick Nolte, Clea DuVall, Tim Blake Nelson, Ellen Barkin, Luis Guzman, Stephenie Hsu, and many more!!!!! The first four episodes of Poker Face are available on Peacock now, with a new episode dropping every Thursday (what a concept).

I figure for this first week we should use spoiler tags and specify which episode you’re talking about beforehand, but from next week onwards just treat it like a normal weekly thread and lose the tags. Episode 1: a slow but real good start with some fantastic shots (Steve Yedlin GOAT) and really fun lines. The main point is, of course, to introduce us to Charlie as a character, and she’s great! Definitely someone who I want to follow through various hijinks. The actual storyline isn’t so hot and perhaps too focused on making sure we understand Charlie’s ability, becoming a little over-expository, but it does the job of setting the series as a whole up nicely and the climactic moments are fuckin great, especially that excellent Brody suicide shot. I enjoyed the more measured pacing and hope that continues. Gonna try and spread these episodes out a little but we’ll see how that pans out.

Episode 2: again, good stuff. I wasn’t so interested in the pre-Charlie stuff, but I imagine that’ll vary episode to episode. Small-scale story but very well-told and a very enjoyable set of side characters plus Charlie being a wonderful fuckup. Laughed out loud a good amount of times. Again the actual storyline is somewhat thin but the characters are so fun that I minded less. I’m hoping as the series goes on and Charlie recognises the pattern and settles into this kinda-detective role the sleuthing will take up more of the episodes, but I understand why that isn’t the case right now.

Episode 3 good as hell. Probably my favourite so far. Lil Rel Howery is great. I like how Charlie calling bullshit when she hears a lie is almost like a tic. I really enjoy the small scale of this show compared to the Benoit Blanc movies, and Lyonne is constantly proving that everyone was right to assume she would kill this.

Episode 4: still excellent and the best guest cast so far. John Darnielle!!!!!!! The one criticism I have is that I think they should ease up on the “btw Charlie was there the whole time!” thing, I’m somewhat bored of it already. But other than that I still absolutely love it.

ep 2 It still has the serial number, they would be able to trace it whenever he tried to cash in, and the cops would tell whatever company that that number is connected to a murder

Episode 5 time! Now this is a regular weekly show I’m dropping the spoiler tags for latest episode discussion unless I get a lot of pushback on it so lemme know how you feel about that Another strong one with a whole lot of good side characters. I loved the true crime buffs excitedly naming poisons, Simon Helberg’s agent is good and I kinda hope he comes back eventually, and Judith Light/S. Epatha Merkerson were wonderful. Charlie remains great as ever, definitely one of the best TV characters of the past few years. Laughed a lot at the climax.

cant cook creole bream posted:Honestly, Charlie's power is weird. It doesn't seem to pick up on a general sense of deception but rather on the exact wording of a statement. What makes you think this? The show has always given me the impression it’s the former.

Man I can’t get over how good this episode was. Super well-written, had the proper Columbo vibes with the length and her conversations with Nolte and Jones, a ton of great guest stars, Lyonne directed the poo poo out of it…..this is one of those episodes that makes me hope the show runs for a very long time.

Yeah second season was ambitious as hell and I appreciate that they went for it but it didn’t really work for me. First season rules.

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

Episodes 8 and 9 tied for first. Just a great mix of good character work, great filmmaking, fun setting, awesome guest stars, and excellent Charlie stuff (mainly the latter in the last case) 2 definitely my least favourite. I remember barely anything about it.
