Natasha Lyonne in Poker Face (2023)

Review by Dolphchiarino123

Poker Face

3/10

Fold This Poker Hand Immediately....

This is a new series on NBC's Peacock Station. I watched the first three episodes and I had to stop there. The TV ads list some A list actors but they only do cameos in different episodes. The main character is Charlie played by Natasha Lyonne who I like but certainly not a big enough star to carry an entire series. Along with Benjamin Bratt as her costar. The storyline revolves around Charlie who is a loser type woman who has the gift of telling if someone is lying. She uses that gift to solve murders a get herself through life. That's basically it. Each episode follows Episode 1 but in a very sporadic way. She's all over the place in different towns and situations which makes it hard to follow. Why would you follow knowing she does the same thing in every episode. As much as I liked Natasha in Orange Is The New Black, her raspy voice and campy way of shoving the mystery gets on your nerves by the 3rd episode. The script writing is very sophomoric and cheesy which is not surprising since the directors and producers include Maya Rudolph who is way out of her league and was just an OK comedian on SNL. Do yourself a favor and skip this series unless you have insomnia that needs a cure. This will put you to sleep in 20 minutes.

P. S. - If you're paying for Peacock and this is the level of script writing you're going to get, cancel now and save your money coz they can't come close to what Amazon, Hulu, FXX and others are pumping out.
