She acts as a detective but with no credentials and solves the murders for the sake of the truth and honesty.Īs you travel through the storyline, you also travel around the country. She begins to put the pieces together and eventually solves the murder. Once she gets the hint of someone lying to her, she sets out to find the truth no matter what. I like how each episode of the show has a murder that is solved by Charlie even though she doesn’t need to, but she does since she has the gift of telling when people are lying and not telling the truth. Instead of making it boring, I think it makes the show even better.
Instead, it follows the characters’ movements by doing a tracking shot. From here, it’s obvious that the cinematography of the show is also from “Knives Out.” Like when they recall the events of a murder, the camera doesn’t cut between the events of what’s happening. The episodes begin by showing chunks of detail but keep the full story from you until the show progresses. Each episode is like another condensed movie. Poker Face very similarly plays out like ‘Knives Out’ and you can tell from watching the episodes. The cast consists of the lead Charlie, played by Natasha Lyonne, and other notable actors like Adrien Brody, David Castaneda and Luis Guzman. With 6 episodes, Peacock’s new Poker Face, produced by the same creators of the popular ‘Knives Out’, hit the platform on Jan.
