it's interesting how Rian Johnson does murder mysteries, or rather, doesn't do traditional murder mysteries. you see this first in Knives Out & Glass Onion but it becomes really obvious in the Poker Face show. his whodunits aren't there for the audience to solve the crimes with the clues, the primary storytelling that happens is having the detective character, with their skills and experience, figure out the crime. you, as the audience, are merely the observer watching the 'expert' do their job. i just think that's neat.

Knives Out/Glass Onion fans, I can safely assure you that the pilot of Poker Face is as excellent as Rian Johnson's other mystery work. Natasha Lyonne is a amazing as the fantastic mess that is Charlie Cale. Delightful character. Haven't watched the other 3 as yet available episodes so far but I'm sure they'll still be great. Highly recommended.

one is on the run from trouble and the other is a consultant; both have one more question.
