I'm getting very jealous about this show which I'm keen to see. Sadly, the Comcast-owned Sky seems to have lost interest in the Comcast-owned Peacock here in the UK. Peacock has only ever been a tile in the Sky service and not a stand-alone streamer. But if I go in today, they seem to have a

Last night's episode of Poker Face with Ellen Barkin and Tim Meadows was spectacular. ~Marti On Thursday, February 9, 2023 at 10:31:48 AM UTC-6 PGage wrote: > Continuing to dig this show; not obsessing over it, but enjoying whenever > I watch. > > I am classifying this as an episodic show

Continuing to dig this show; not obsessing over it, but enjoying whenever I watch. I am classifying this as an episodic show (though the aroma of a narrative arc still wafts around it), and wondering if anyone can suggest other good episodic streaming dramas? Seems like television has settled

We have seen the first two episodes, and enjoyed them. The retro vibe is nice, and Natasha Lyonne is entertaining. According to Wikipedia, the first four episodes were released January 26, 2023, and after that they will come out weekly. ~Marti On Saturday, January 28, 2023 at 1:07:33 PM

I have watched the first three and found it to be very pleasant. Definitely more Fugitive than Columbo, and of course she does seem to be driving Route 66, and it has a little of that vibe. It does seem that, after the second episode, there is less of an ongoing serial arc (which I very much

I was going to mention that but I considered it a spoiler. And Rian Johnson has said in several interviews that it won’t be a real arc and that the episodes can be watched in any order after the pilot. On Sat, Jan 28, 2023 at 1:25 AM Kevin M. wrote: > There’s a definite sort of The Fugitive

There’s a definite sort of The Fugitive vibe to this series. I’m not really very impressed with Lyonne’s acting ability, but she’s not bad in this. I’m curious enough to see where it leads On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 10:03 AM Tom Wolper wrote: > It’s a new series on Peacock from Rian Johnson

It’s a new series on Peacock from Rian Johnson starring Natasha Lyonne. It’s a throwback to crime drama series from decades ago like Columbo and The Rockford Files. As usual it’s tough to get a good reading from the pilot because there’s so much exposition to set up the characters. It seems a good
