Natasha Lyonne becomes a modern-day Columbo in Rian Johnson's spectacular new howcatchem series PokerFace. Our review:
Rian Johnson has never once shied away from sharing his love of Columbo online, but Poker Face feels like a monument that he has carefully and painstakingly carved in commemoration of that love. While Columbo starred a rumpled blue-collar homicide detective, Poker Face features a scrappy human lie detector in the form of Charlie Cale , who has absolutely no previous crime-solving experience—until her life gets turned upside down.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY With Johnson venturing into episodic storytelling for the very first time, Poker Face also allows him to work alongside an impressive slate of talent—both in front of and behind the camera. Johnson is in the writer/director seat for the premiere of the series, which sets the stage for Charlie’s unique skill set and dire situation, before passing the baton to a long list of talented writers and directors for the rest of the season .
