Let’s put our cards on the table, almost three years after Peacock launched, the Comcast-owned streamer finally has a legitimate potential breakout show in Natasha Lyonne and Rian Johnson’s Poker Face.
Debuting with four-episodes tomorrow and then dropping the rest of its 10-episode first season weekly, the one-hour drama could prove the dramatic reset the sports focused Peacock has needed since Day One.Part of that is clearly the combined star power and skills of the Russian Doll star and the Knives Out director, along with a wonderfully villainous Benjamin Bratt and an old school awards show phalanx of guest stars. True to the talent on both sides of the camera, Poker Face’s winning hand has a lot to do with how well-crafted and constructed it is.
However, besides a beat-up Plymouth Barracuda, Rockford Files trailer home homages and all, the wider appeal of Poker Face is that it is a confident show for grown-ups that younger viewers who never knew the golden era of TV detectives will dig too. Created by the man who gave us Benoit Blanc, the architecture of the show is strong with the crime and the criminal made obvious from the jump. Strong, but the tenet that Lyonne’s Charlie character has the confounding ability to tell when people are lying is narrative Krazy Glue.
Put simply, and well within context, there is a Hell of drinking game to play watching Poker Face to capture the moment when Charlie realizes who is BSing her or not – and that’s such a good time you’ll almost forgive the ads on Peacock.No need to recap and bastardized Johnson and Lyonne’s work, but suffice to say there’s a casino, there’s a murder, there’s a scam, there’s a suicide & Lyonne’s hard drinking human lie detector Charlie has to go on tbe

Where have all the Columbos gone?
