24. Series Review: Poker Face (2023 Peacock Series)

I know I have been talking a lot recently about Rian Johnson ("Glass Onion", "Knives Out") and his work a lot lately. What can I say - I am fan of his style of storytelling and definitely his sense of humor too. Natasha Lyonne (Netflix series “Russian Doll”) and Johnson have developed a whodunnit mystery series which is both unique and yet also a play/throwback to so many great mystery/detective series like “Columbo”, “Murder She Wrote” and more. From the moment this series starts it becomes very clear that only Natasha Lyonne could steer this series in the lead role. She brings so much fun as well as her own unique energy to this role. Look out for a lot of great cameos in this new series. This first season of “Poker Face” consists of 10 episodes and the first 4 episodes are available to watch now on Peacock. The remaining episodes will be go up on Peacock weekly on Thursdays.  Rating: 9 out of 10. This is one not to miss. Check it out and let me know what you think.Update: I have seen 2 of the 4 available episodes now and they are both excellent .   Now what's next in the queue? This is a public episode.
