I was expecting this show to have a stronger crime/mystery department. It turns out to be a "hang-out show", not too real, not too fiction. "Just casually watch and relax" type of thing where you just like the characters. So if you're going to ask questions like "how does she always end up in places where crime happens", "how does police always leave clues behind", "blabla can't happen in real life", it's clearly not that type of a show. I don't think it tries to be either. If you want a solid crime show with 100% reality tone, you're in the wrong place.

Here's what the creator told:

>"The big ingredient I knew I needed for a show is a charismatic figure at the heart of it, because Columbo or Rockford Files, as much as those shows are mysteries, what really brings you back each week is you want to hang out with the main character. They're really 'hang out' shows," Johnson explained. "When I saw Natasha in Russian Doll, I thought here is somebody who has the presence and the charisma on the screen that I would just want to come back and be with her every week and see her win."

As many others, I love Natasha Lyonne from OITNB and Russian Doll, so it's good watching her in Poker Face as well. Having fun so far, but we'll see how the season go.
