OT - Poker Face

[FQDawg]

Anybody else watching Poker Face on Peacock? It's the new mystery of the week from Rian Johnson that stars Natasha Lyonne. We're only two episodes in but it's been fantastic so far.

It's a lot like shows from the 70s/80s like Murder, She Wrote, Magnum PI, Columbo and even The Incredible Hulk... There's an overarching story line set up in the first episode to get her on the road but each episode is otherwise self-contained.

If you subscribe to Peacock, it's definitely worth checking out.

Glad to hear. It's on my radar. Are all episodes out?

The first four episodes came out last week. Starting today (I think), we get a new episode each Thursday. Will be 10 episodes total.

Thanks. I'll wait til they're all out. Previews sure look good. A lot of star actors it seems.

Off topic, but a series-TV related PSA: After 13 years, they are coming out with the third season of Party Down this month. I am watching the first two seasons again to get refreshed, and even after all this time, it holds up well. Great core cast who have gone to do other things (Parks & Rec, Silicon Valley) in the years since the series, and amazing cameos in every episode.

Ive watched all 4 out so far. Should be a new one today or so. Looks like there are a ton of guest stars coming up.

Episode 1 was good to start it off. Episode 2 and 3 started off a little too slow, but episode 4 was fantastic with Chloe Sevigny.

You know I was thinking about it last week trying to compare it to old school TV and the Incredible Hulk was one I came up with too. Or maybe even Highway to Heaven. Travels on the road solving the local mystery each episode.

Another up vote, fantastic new show. And even if you're not Fishwater, Peacock is free with ads. Honestly I don't mind the ads, nice to have a little built in break to check phone or whatever. They have some really solid programs.

I really like it.

That being said, if she befriends you, better check your life insurance.

I’m doing the same. I hate Lizzy Caplan couldn’t do the new season, but if I had to lose one of the originals I would have picked her.

I’m enjoying it. I’m not sure how I feel about the flashback aspect of it- thought it was very well done in episode one but the other two I’ve watched were a little less so.

Not gonna lie... Judith Light could still get it.

I thought the pilot episode was great, but I haven't really liked the other episodes. For one, I don't really like detective shows where they show you who the killer is, and the only mystery is how the star will solve it. But also, these murders have been pretty complicated to solve, and she doesn't even use her super power to solve them; she relies on coincidence.

Its entertaining, though.

Love it so far. I love the modern Columbo vibes.
