The Taste of Human Blood

Lucky McKee made May. May is incredible. But this episode is awful. It feels more like the tone of a random episode of 30 Rock instead of Poker Face. None of it makes sense, it's far too slapstick, and the sense of danger that lurks around the usual genuine humor and clever writing is gone because people are walking gators and seeing souls in eyes while FL cops are one step away from spitting into a spittoon and shooting their guns in the air. Charlie's first episode with no one looking for her and she decides to do something so, well, dumb. It took away from her character. Hopefully this was a fluke and the series gets back in track. It should be exciting to see where it could go with her new freedom and this episode didn't make the impression I was hoping for.

This episode was hilarious and I'm pretty sure the bad reviews are from Floridians who have no sense of humor. Maybe it hit too close to home?

I have enjoyed every episode of Poker Face so far and this one did not disappoint. I truly enjoyed "good buddy" and Daisy! Stereotypes develop for a reason and Florida is no different. Just seems many Floridians are overly sensitive, or at least those that leave reviews are. I have visited Florida and it is beautiful but yes, there are some characters there, just like any other state.

Yes, this episode is a little more silly than the previous ones, but it is still excellent. Natasha Lyonne's is her usual excellent self as are the other actors.

This episode was just silly, and not in a fun way. Though of course many of these murders are over the top and theatrical, this one was just outright absurd. There were too many leaps in logic, a lack of cleverness and an unsatisfying resolution. I understand the "Florida Man" is a funny meme, but it's a whole other thing to make that the premise of an entire episode

Despite the frankly bad writing for this episode, Natasha still did a great job and the rest of the cast did as well. There's just something missing this season that I'm waiting for. The overarching plot is in a weird grey area and they're not doing enough to spark intrigue into the rest of the season.

In this case it's an aligator on meth.

That right there should be a clue that this episodes isn't playing straight or serious.

Some characters out stay their welcome, some characters are so wooly it's more annoying than funny and or cringe.

I also feel like natasha is somewhat phoning it in ? Unless she's going for the 'less is more' vibe, but she seems thinner than before, her hand shakes and the vape ?

Not sure what to make of the choice to remove the season threat, and the over reliance on suspension of disbelief.

Still funny but it was missing someone jumping over a shark.

Hope for better :)

Really, this episode could've made a good black humour cartoon. Poker Face finally jumped not the shark but the alligator. Bad written with a plot that competes with the ones from some campy shows nobody makes anymore, there's little Natasha Lyonne or anybody from the rest of the cast can do to save this episode. The AI alligator, the neurotic police woman, the "Florida man" memes, all combines to tear in pieces the premise of the show that was to offer an interesting crime mystery every week. I can't believe Rian Johnson still has his name embedded in this and approving this deviation. So sad.
