The mystery-of-the-week series Poker Face, starring Natasha Lyonne, has been airing for eight weeks, and we still can’t get enough of it. The procedural dramas we’re used to seeing on network and cable television, where the police always capture the perpetrator and bring them to justice, get a welcome change of pace in this film.
Charlie Cale, played by Lyonne, is aware that she won’t always be on the right side of the law and has no plans to join the police force. It’s straightforward: She despises lying and false accusations against the innocent. Not to mention that it is enjoyable to watch the show.
Out on the open road, Charlie frequently makes stops to take on different occupations (and to prevent her previous boss’ henchman from finding her). She encounters a variety of personalities along the road who are all well-known actors in their own right.
Some of them aid Charlie in figuring out the murder she has just uncovered, while others are victims or criminals. The show uses a “howcatchem” method to present the crimes, first showing the perpetrator doing the deed and then showing the audience Charlie’s reasoning process.
Nonetheless, there are surprises that make Poker Face entertaining to watch even when viewers know who and how the characters die. In “The Orpheus Syndrome,” the eighth episode, Charlie gets hired by a filmmaker whose background is revealed following the murder of one of his former coworkers.
In order to learn the truth about his old friend’s passing, Charlie must go into his history as she assists him with his next project. What other actors joined Lyonne this week as guests? Who appeared in Poker Face episode 8 is listed below.
