    Only one criticism...

    Solid show. Great premise and each story for each episode is very interesting, mysterious, entertaining and is well structured with great characters with villainous motives. The only negative this show suffers from is predictability. Obviously she will continue to solve every single murder every episode using her power of perception in picking lies. There's no deviation from the formula and no surprises at the end of each episode except for the satisfaction that the bad guys got what was coming to them. Still, it's a fun show with great storytelling. Will be interesting to see how the season ends.

    OK I was wrong

    My wife convinced me to watch this and quite frankly I wasn't expecting much. It just seemed like another "crime of the week" serial that was going to become stale and boring. It hasn't been that at all! Each episode has actual well-known actors that give great performances. Each episode is little a mini movie. The violence and effects are all very real - nothing cheesy here. I'm up to the season finale and can't wait to watch it. I'm definitely hoping this makes it through quite a few seasons. You do have to suspend belief a bit to convince yourself that she travels around and just magically stumbles upon a murder in every town, but you'll be pleasantly surprised if you can put that aside.

    Entertaining Enough

    Poker Face has been pretty entertaining so far. Natasha Lyonne plays Charlie Cale, a casino host with the talent of being a human lie detector. She can tell if you're lying about anything from playing cards to actual murder. She ends up going on the run and being an amateur detective solving murders across the nation. Each episode is its own story and has a great cast of guest stars each episode. It's being hailed as one of the best new shows of the year by just about every critic and the audience seems to really like it too. If you give this a try there's a good chance you'll end up watching the entire season.

    2nd review about the 1st

    At the time of writing, there is one review for this show. It is a somewhat incoherent rant about bribes, cameos and general displeasure. It does not reek of impartiality.

    I just finished the first episode. It was very, very good and I am hard to please. The role Natasha was made for. Brody is fantastic. The mood, cinematography and writing are all top par. I've been to Laughlin and stayed at the location, so I don't reek of impartiality.

    This is going to be good. Well thought out, well executed. Compare with franchised low grade plutonium by the Sherdian syndicate, this is actually good tv.

    Great fun show, binge worthy

    Great fun show, binge worthy

    Really enjoying this show, watched the first 4 episodes in one hit. Love Natasha Lyonne as the main truth telling character. It's fun, lighthearted but not boring. The characters are well put together. The female truck driver in episode 2 was great. Sometimes you don't need a heavy drama and whilst this isn't edge of your seats its interesting and entertaining all the way through, episode 4 was a bit silly but clever none the less.

    So expect some silly moments but fun to watch. Reminds me a bit of 'Shut Eye' about the fortune teller scam.

    This story is about a woman who can really tell if your lying, who wouldn't like to have that skill.

    • Trivia
      The font used for the credits, Folio Bold Extended, in this series is the same used for The NBC Tuesday Mystery Movie (1971), and other Universal TV productions of the 1960s and '70s, and especially Columbo (1971), which is fitting seeing as the main character Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) uses many of the "just one more thing" tricks to questioning suspects, similar to Columbo.
