It might be worth checking a few more out.

I began to like it more once they folded in the college student storyline, and the energy vampire versus emotional vampire storyline. Colin is a great character.

I got several adamant recs for that show. Made it through the first couple episodes. I was willing to do more, wife wasn't.

I get the feeling a lot of people really love it, while I’m enjoying it more in spite of itself. The leads are all very entertaining performers, even if the material they’re given is rough around the edges.

Put down a few more episodes of Poker Face. I can say definitively now it’s a love letter to late 70s TV shows like Columbo and The Rockford Files… also Love Boat, because almost every episode has a washed up celebrity guest star. I just saw an episode with Judith Light, who both looks frigging fantastic, and totally knocks it out of the park.

Agree that Poker Face is an old-school serial throwback.

Also: it’s…ok. It’s fine. Feels repetitive after a couple episodes. Definitely hasn’t held my interest enough to look forward to the next one after finishing an episode. Perhaps like those old serials, maybe it’s just good enough to want to watch one a week.

I think you mean “episodic” and not “serial”.

I’m enjoying Lyonne’s performance enough to manage 2-3 in a sitting.

In what sense? You’d be bored from the repetition?

I just….find it kind of sucks the life out of the room. I don’t know why; Lyonne is somehow looking hotter than ever. We tried the budget nascar episode last night and it was exhausting.

That was definitely one of the weaker and less memorable episodes, but for me Buster Scruggs as guest star was worth the price of admission. The twist was mildly interesting, too.
