I loved Pokerface and I'm really happy to see it back. It was a fun start. Cynthia Erivo was great, playing five distinct characters. I do have some issues with it though. Certain aspects of the story don't feel ground in that certain level of reality season 1 had. The quintuplets were interesting and Erivo did a great job, but the individual characters are so over defined that it comes across contrived. I get the temptation to separate identical quintuplets as much as possible, but it leans too much into caricature. As much as we all know who did it I felt the slip ups were too heavy handed. Lastly the hitmen chasing Charlie Cale all over the country are more like a cartoon, popping up in different locations. I hope the next episodes are more grounded again.
