And it's not even Natasha Lyonne!
's Natasha Lyonne chief among them, though each week sees a new bunch of guests – and is ten episodes long, and it even has a gimmick. But there's a key difference. Just one more thing, if you will. It's got a different location, a different crime and a mostly different cast every week. You got it: it'sKung Fu. The first half of each episode shows us the murder, the second half reveals how Charlie solves it.
Decades of low-grade cop-show filler on network TV led us to think that good quality had to mean Big, Important and Ambitious: and so we got seasons-long arcs, bloated backstory andmoody drone shots. But it turns out to make pacey, snackable TV you just need someone on the creative team willing to take risks., it's why we got a fascist dog, the worst metal band in the Mid West and an awful lot of cuts stitched with superglue.
Once again Rian Johnson has shown us we don't have to settle for mediocre. Let's hope the TV industry takes note, becausePoker Face is available to watch on Now and Sky in the UK and Peacock in the US.
