Early reviews agree that Rian Johnson brings another masterful mystery-comedy with PokerFace, as it premieres its first four episodes tomorrow on Peacock.
Early reviews for Rian Johnson's newest mystery story, Poker Face, are heaping praise on the project. Johnson is best known for his directorial work on films like Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, Knives Out, and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The popular filmmaker also has television experience, including directing the Breaking Bad season 5 episode, "Ozymandias.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY High praise for Rian Johnson's new TV show is a promising early sign for the upcoming streaming series. Early reviews hail Poker Face as one of the best Peacock original series to date while propping up the performance of lead actor Natasha Lyonne. The show has also been described as clever, deft, and highly addicting. Check out several spoiler-free samples of what reviewers say about the highly anticipated Poker Face series below.
What Is Poker Face Actually About? Poker Face's apparent brilliance is another big win for Rian Johnson in his growing personal backlog of engaging mystery tales. Johnson has been regarded as an established storyteller who brings out a unique vision to the films and shows he produces. Natasha Lyonne has also become a television star due to her Emmy-nominated performances on the dark comedy series Russian Doll.
Lyonne plays Charlie Cale, who has the power to tell if someone is lying. While undergoing her trip, she utilizes her unique skills to solve case-by-case mysteries that come her way. She isn't dissimilar to Knives Out's Benoit Blanc, who Johnson also brought to life with a fun flair. Particularly, both Blanc and Charlie share their interest in investigating cases, using their talents.
Poker Face Proves Rian Johnson Is The New Mystery Master The incredibly positive reviews for Poker Face establish, yet again, that Johnson is the new mystery master. Though there were concerns that Poker Face would be a Knives Out rehash, the reviews don't express many concerns about the series being too similar to Johnson's movies. That's another positive sign, as the new series has been described as a fresh throwback.
