The Peacock series from creator Rian Johnson, who wrote three episodes and directed the premiere and finale, follows the critical and commercial success of his Knives Out film franchise. When making a show about crime and punishment, is there any way to avoid making copaganda? That’s one mystery Poker Face hasn’t quite solved. During the first season of the series, she twice turns down job offers from the FBI, rebuffing the first in “ Time of the Monkey” with a bemused “I’m not really about helping the man,” then the second with a sarcastic smirk in finale “ The Hook.” But whenever Poker Face drew its thin blue line this season, it put Charlie on one side of it and everyone else on the other. She’s an ordinary woman with an extraordinary extrasensory ability just trying to get by. Natasha Lyonne’s Poker Face protagonist wears police-style aviators and functions like a human polygraph test, but she’s a little too anti-authoritarian, a little too much of a loner to fit into a station briefing room or the front of a black-and-white cruiser. Charlie might not wear a badge, but she’s not not doing the job either.Ĭharlie Cale is not a cop.
