    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Poker Face' is a clever, episodic mystery series with Natasha Lyonne as a human lie detector solving crimes. The show is praised for its engaging premise, strong performances, and guest stars. Themes include the protagonist's unique ability, episodic nature, and homage to classic detective series. Critics note repetitive structure and occasional plot holes but appreciate Lyonne's charm and wit. The series is seen as entertaining and refreshing, though some find it formulaic and lacking in depth.

    Enjoyed it so far!

    I've actually really enjoyed Poker Face more than I thought I would. I originally wasn't going to watch it because it looked like just another detective crime show, it's not. It's so much better. What originally made me watch is that it's created by Rian Johnson (Knives Out, Glass Onion, Looper, etc). I love his movies and how original they are. There are a million of these crime shows with crazy detectives but this is one of the better ones and one of the better new shows of the year. There are enough twists and turns to keep your attention and wanting more. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this show.

    A Fantastic Old School TV Series

    The Poker Face pilot is A+. This is a nice throwback to the murder mystery series that used to be common in the 70s/80s. So many TV shows have gone to the long story format it's refreshing going back to the story of the week format.

    The pilot episode is a love letter to series like Columbo. In fact, Rian Johnson goes as far as borrowing some of the fonts from Columbo. If you enjoy this series and have never watched Columbo I highly recommend checking those episodes out. Poker Face has a great cast, it's superbly written, and directed.

    Hopefully this series keeps up the quality of the opening episodes. I can't wait to see where they go from here.

    She's Like Columbo All Hopped Up On Mountain Dew!!

    Been a fan of Columbo since I was a child. Always enjoyed his sly way of drawing out his suspects, and the rumpled look just made it. Sadly, Peter Falk passed away, leaving us bereft of authentically eccentric detectives.

    Enter Poker Face. Woooowwww, and I thawt I was ADHD!!! Natasha Lyonne is a whirling dervish, doing the aww shucks lil' ol' me schtick to perfection. I doubt her accent and cadence are not even partially a nod to Detective Columbo.

    The adventures she goes through, and the near death experiences time and again prove how compelling this cast is.

    Rock on, PF, and thanks for bringing back the type of detective we can laugh and learn with!!

    Female Colombo?

    Yes I said it. I've noticed that there are some similarities in their demeanor and even her raspy voice but I am glad to say, Charlie carves her own path in this easy flowing yet still mystical series. I'm two episodes in and so far so good. I happen to like Colombo so the similarities are pleasing and the fact that trouble seems to always find her as she try to evade her own troubles is a nice addition to the old mystery theater ploy. Custom and character is believable enough and actually begs for sympathy at times. The acting is spread out with a mixture of veterans and newbies but it still flows quite honestly. Here's hoping for the best!

    2nd review about the 1st

    At the time of writing, there is one review for this show. It is a somewhat incoherent rant about bribes, cameos and general displeasure. It does not reek of impartiality.

    I just finished the first episode. It was very, very good and I am hard to please. The role Natasha was made for. Brody is fantastic. The mood, cinematography and writing are all top par. I've been to Laughlin and stayed at the ___location, so I don't reek of impartiality.

    This is going to be good. Well thought out, well executed. Compare with franchised low grade plutonium by the Sherdian syndicate, this is actually good tv.

    • Trivia
      The font used for the credits, Folio Bold Extended, in this series is the same used for The NBC Tuesday Mystery Movie (1971), and other Universal TV productions of the 1960s and '70s, and especially Columbo (1971), which is fitting seeing as the main character Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) uses many of the "just one more thing" tricks to questioning suspects, similar to Columbo.
