Poker Face Season 2 Episode 9: A Mix of Murder and Guest Stars
This episode of Poker Face, set in Brooklyn, features Alia Shawkat as a compelling villain, but overall feels middling due to its lack of a strong genre focus and reliance on New York real estate themes. Charlie navigates a murder plot involving a manipulative woman aiming to inherit a rent-controlled apartment, with the episode highlighting memorable guest performances and subtle nods to New York culture. The story explores Charlie’s increasing weariness with deception and her desire for genuine connection amid the city's chaos.
