    So bland, uninspired, and filled with nonsense that I couldn't even get to the end of the first episode. The worst part was probably when Charlie confronts the two killers in their office without even the slightest concern that they may then want her dead also. I found the whole thing to be ridiculously pathetic.

    I'm going to be 100% honest here. Rian Johnson was the director. If you have seen his work and fine tooth comb anything he does your will find so many errors and plot holes. I will give you just one, from the first episode.

You 10/10 people should be banned.… Expand

    She's listening to talk radio in her car when somebody says 80 percent of Mexicans are criminals (as if anybody would say this)so that she can go on a rant against the MAGA dog who is listening to it. You want to alienate half your audience with your stupid takes? Done.

    Serviceable acting and nothing else. I wasn't impressed and going by how few reviews it has, neither was anyone else (sorry you people giving it 10s, you also loved his awful star wars movies so your opinions are objectively worthless). Rian Johnson has never met an original story he didn't want to take a steaming pile of crap on, so it's not too surprising.

    Natasha Lyonne was barely    Serviceable acting and nothing else.

    Natasha Lyonne was barely competent in Russian Doll, I don't know why I thought this would be any different.

    The original Columbo ran for 10 seasons. This probably won't make it past two. Just save yourself some time and stick with the original, better project.    … Expand

    In its lane (a droll, self-aware game of TV Cluedo in which the viewer gets to peek at the cards) and turbopowered by the human electrical storm that is La Lyonne, Poker Face works a treat.

    Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne have brilliantly recreated Columbo’s howcatchem formula in the first four episodes of Poker Face. The mystery-of-the-week show is packed with quirky characters, humor with a bit of bite, and excellent performances from Lyonne and the murderers she must puzzle out how to bring to justice.

    Poker Face plays it a lot more straight [than Knives Out]. But it’s gripping, grisly when it needs to be, and Lyonne is charm on a stick. Anyone who claims they aren’t enjoying it is probably telling porky pies.
