Clever spin on a crime procedural. Plus, it's got my girl Natasha Layonne.

Reminds me of Columbo.

What's the spin? I keep seeing ads for it on Twitch and looks like a regular crime show but with a lot of celeb guests

The main character is not a cop and is on the run, motivations to "catch" the criminals of the week are usually personal from her wandering encounters.

Popped in to see what Poker Face was
Crime procedural shows were just never my bag

Peacock, unfortunately.

The first episode doesn't follow the standard format, then it jumps into Columbo mode.

Might check it out. I don't have any more live tv that I'm subscribed to (just an antenna for the local OTA stuff with the Hulu bundle and Peacock). I don't normally watch a lot of TV other than football, local news and Wheel of Fortune/Jeopardy. But my wife watches a lot of TV and is always looking for something new to watch. I'll mention it to her for sure.

I've been think about why I'm not into the genre. I think it's mostly because solving the crime yourself relies less on considering the evidence at hand, and more about considering plot devices and story structure. Takes me out of it.

I feel like the actress plays the same exact character in every show shes in.

For the most part, you have to drop any conception that you are supposed to be piecing things together and "solving" the cases alongside the protags. It's much more about easy watching. The dramatic arc is just there by default. The episodes usually follow a very particular schema. It's all just comfort.

Though, with Poker Face, the episodes are definitely designed for you to figure out how she's gonna figure things out before she does.

Didn't know what it was, but I dig crime dramas so i'll give it a shot. Idk if I have Peacock or not, if I do, i've been paying for it for months without using it.

Love the mystery format and it's from Rian Johnson who, The Last Jedi aside, creates great mystery movies. Watched the first episode and I really enjoyed it but I agree, I can't stand her damn voice.

First episode was amazing but there were still plenty of flaws I wont go into detail about at this point. Still, really enjoyable. Past that episode it seems to get incredibly formulaic. To enjoy it you really have to look past the absurdity of her happening to get involved in all these murders.

Second episode was still fun and enjoyable but the beginning of the pattern. I was starting to get very bored with it at the third episode so I took a break from it for almost a week.

Watching the metal episode right now and the setup is very enthralling but seems to be the exact same scenario as the second episode.

It is great but they really need to change things up from episode to episode.

fwiw John Darnielle (of The Mountain Goats) who played one of the people, and wrote the songs, is a huge metalhead
