Peacock's Poker face My biggest complaint was that it premiered in 2023, which is a privileged place: creator Rian Johnson and producer Natasha Lyonne's love of NBC's mysterious filmmaking show in the 70s, when the series was set for "very good" rather than "great", which I regret.

In the next two years, almost every time I watched a show that boasted about the world's greatest detective or human detector - TV writers love human detectors like hot zone viruses Elsbeth Not bad, but Poker face Shows how you basically do the exact same show with just more ambition and artistry. ”

Arrived in more than two years - Look, CGI Dragon takes time to produce - Season 2 Poker face The qualitative gap was bridged in a disappointing way. Elsbeth It is a beautiful performance with occasional twists and turns and often inspired guest stars, so the second season of the second season Poker face Better or worse Elsbeth It doesn't have to be seen as a harsh criticism, but based on the genealogy, it feels like this.

New season Poker face Good, but a show starts, proving that a hybrid of radio and prestige TV might look - see also, recently, see Pitt - It's getting closer to a good radio show on streaming platforms. Through the 10 episodes I've seen in this season's 12 episodes, none of them Poker face Weekly adventure is a stupid person, but nothing matches the style of "Hand of the Dead", the concept of "Orphan Syndrome" adventure or the elevated bet of "Escape from Shit Hill".

Therefore, this problem becomes insufficient to underestimate the achievement, but rather the limitation of desire.

This season begins with the highlights of the guest stars. Directed by Johnson and written by Laura Deeley, "The Match Is a Feet" features Cynthia Erivo as five sisters, one of whom kills the mother (Jasmine Guy), who steals their apparently heavy residue from the rather stupid cops, indicating that they have been in the spotlight that they used to stay in the episode. She was undoubtedly very happy.

This mysterious mechanism is very fragile, but Columbus-y"howcatchem" (rather than "whodunit") format, which is almost irrelevant. All you need to know or remember from season one is that Lyonne's Charlie Cale is the human lie detector, and that's where her investigative skills begin and end - this is where the series' "Mysterious Drawing" begins and ends.

structure Poker faceThe resilience in the first season was impressive, it was probably the least risky version of itself and definitely the most repetitive. Each episode gives us a 13-17-minute prologue, introducing guest stars and murders. Charlie then appears on the killer, immediately calling “nonsense” “nonsense”, explaining her secret power to the killer or convenient allies – the first season no longer needs to explain the premise after a while, but the second season returns this elaboration to the events that take place every week – we patiently wait for the killer to justify the basic killer. Even when Charlie reads Borges and mentions the esoteric Dennis Hopper movie, many of her smart people disappeared, and the bets on almost all the shows were gone.

The first season began with Charlie in her unique pink Plymouth Barracuda, where Benjamin Bratt served as head of security at the Vegas casino where she fled. The finale was led by Rhea Perlman as the introduction of Beatrix Hasp, the owner of a rival casino who was listed as a potential big bad guy. But, in the initial joke about how Charlie lives in the ongoing danger of anonymous and incompetent assassin, the story changes in a way that causes it Poker face The loss of connective tissue and most of its reasons has completely criss-crossed Charlie Cale. At some point, she even settled down and spent continuously at the same place, at that stage, all the differences Poker face and Elsbeth Leaving.

I totally agree with the serial background Poker face It is unsustainable. You can't just let Benjamin Bratt appear at the end of each episode, Charlie escapes her pike and then walks far enough in the same unique car to get him to find her next week.

But this is not the situation with Jessica Fletcher, one of the towns coincides with that only a brave novelist can solve the murder of murder. Charlie Cale himself is a magnet for the murder and after a while the series’ weightlessness begins to sell characters and Lyonne’s performances. Even in an episode where Charlie has a romantic entanglement with his victims, the dark hug disappears in the first season. Of course, Charlie Cale shouldn't have developed permanently in the sad phase, but her weird, constantly waving joyous people in the grip.

These 10 copies are impetuous and formulaic, rather than making small structural or aesthetic leaps between different plots, providing many meta-commentary opportunities for TV and movie storytelling, but nothing can surpass the conversations that the first season has to offer.

So, it's no surprise that what I like most about these episodes is the sixth "The Sloppy Joseph," in which the murder victim is a gerbil, and Charlie has to fight against the eight-year-old bad seed, convincingly playing Eva Jade Halford. This is the only episode I can never be completely sure how it will solve or on Charlie’s course. Plus David Krumholtz - Slums in Beverly Hills reunion! - and Margo Martindale, so what do you don't like?

There were great guest performances throughout the process, including Kumail Nanjiani, a Florida policeman with crocodile skin (Sam Richardson), Sam Richardson is an aspiring screenwriter, a passionate movie robber, and Method Man as a passionate gym owner. John Mulaney showed up and drank a lot of milk, Simon Rex threw a baseball in the game, and Katie Holmes was there, which was good. Steve Buscemi heard the continuity of the sound in multiple episodes, and Patti Harrison repeatedly participated.

What is missing, though, is the kind of sit-in and prompt performance that Nick Nolte offers in "Orpheus Syndrome," or Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Stephanie HSU offer in "Escape from Shit Mountain." The necessity of this season’s guest star lineup seems to be “hang out with Natasha Lyonne for 10 days!” Not “This is an opportunity to be able to perform a killer under any other circumstances.”

That, like Poker face Season 2, overall, is good. Maybe the problem is not achievement or desire, but expectation. Consider them to readjust.
