Critics Consensus
With the incomparable Natasha Lyonne as an ace up its sleeve, Poker Face is a puzzle box of modest ambitions working with a full deck.
Nick Hilton Independent (UK) As a reinvention of the hour-long mystery story, it manages reverence to its forebears with the challenge of delivering a distinctive new twist. Rated: 4/5 May 30, 2023 Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) It’s gripping, grisly when it needs to be, and Lyonne is charm on a stick. Rated: 4/5 May 26, 2023 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian A good time – especially if you take it in single doses so your credulity doesn’t risk being overstretched – is there to be had. Rated: 3/5 May 26, 2023 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net It’s the best series on streaming right now, and considering what a stacked year of amazing shows we’ve had, that’s saying something. Rated: 5/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Poker Face employs creative storytelling (just about every episode has an extended flashback to show us how we got to where we are) and the repartee from Lyonne is often screamingly droll. Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Akhil Arora AkhilArora.com Our beloved deconstructor of whodunnits—Rian Johnson—set the stage for this howdunnit, with a woman with an uncanny ability landing herself in bizarre situations week after week. (Or did the situation find her?) Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
Godzilla T Of course... every wierdo wants to move to California und they had to put this into politics. And they were a shame. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Fred M Not my thing. The first episode had a very bleak beginning that I didn't get over, in spite of the less bleak aspects later on. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Benjamin H In spite of being a bit predictable from time to time and occasionally lacking some depth, Poker Face is a captivating, sturdy and expertly paced season of television that blends several genres to great effect with an elegant script and a stellar lead performance by Natasha Lyonne. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Ted C i am glad i did not watch Columbo, i got to love this instead! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review hans d I really enjoyed this, after episode 3 i recognized it's a hommage to Columbo on many levels. After accepting that she basically has a Superpower and could abuse that much more and leaving that idea it has it's charm and the mc is likeable and she did fine , some guest appeareances are pretty good unfortunatelly many of them are kinda old i am not too interested in that trend. It actually is pretty episodic arguably the main story ties in ep.1 and 10 just has a few sidenotes on some episodes. Couple episodes have stupid logical issues which are purposely overseen to force a joke or just make the case work. Like e5 and 6 even partially 9 had big mistakes and some were very unenjoyable because of that. But overall i like her Character and the talk and the references. Already can see myself rewatching some episodes. Not too happy how they concluded the main story and the families and their "power" but whatever. I hope it gets more Seasons wouldn't mind if the main Story pushes on just every 10 episodes or it becomes completly episodic as long as the writing is decent. Quite a nice surprise Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Jens B I had a lot of fun with this, the perfect combination of classic COLUMBO mixed with a road movie. Absolutely recommend this! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
