Oh thanks for explaining the Disney vs De Santis thing! I'd seen a headline about it last week but then forgot to go back and find out what it was about. Hee! Never thought I'd find Disney being almost, dare I say it, left of right wing.
When you talk about your curling, it reminds me of my old indoor cricket team, the Fluffy Bunnies. We were so inadequate... I think it was 3 or 4 seasons before we had our first win. It was not the first of many. 😂😂
I've downloaded all of Poker Face after watching the first one and honestly I'm happy you say it's a formula because I think that works for this character - I love her voice, and now I'm looking forward to famous actor spotting in the rest of the series!
desantis is pushing all this petty bullshit against disney because disney kind of pushed back against his "don't say gay" bill (desantis is such a piece of shit and his anti-gay, anti-black, anti-diversity legislation is so dumb and so pointless and so mean). i think it's still a pretty conservative corporation - this is kind of a "the enemy of my enemy is my temporary ally" situation - but disney has spent a lot of time, money, and energy protecting its own interests and there are enough folks who work there who are smarter than ron desantis that in a contest of wills - and if lawyers get involved - my money's on the mouse

I was so thrilled about Poker Face when it started because i loved the actress in Orange Is The New Black and Russian Doll. But the more i watched, the more i felt like it was spending way too long focusing on the murderers instead of the actual protagonist. It just came across gratuitous and kind of disgusting to me. Eventually i stopped watching because i realized i am not really interested in watching shows about irredeemable scumbags. I don't know if this is a newish development in my TV watching tastes, but it's the reason i stopped watching Mayans MC as well, after making it all the way through Sons of Anarchy to get there. I found myself wondering "why am i sitting here for an hour each week watching terrible people do terrible things?" and then... i stopped. And my life was better. Anyway, random side track, i just hope that that actress ends up doing a show in the future that is more to my taste because she is great.
the only other thing i've seen natasha lyonne in is blade: trinity so my impression of her as an actress is skewed, but i really like her in poker face. (and i've been told to watch russian doll so i should do that.) i totally get your point - there really is a lot of focus on the criminals - but at least the scumbags always get what's coming to them. i mean, charlie gets them arrested or whatever and goes on her merry way while justice is served.
(i stopped watching mayans mc because i didn't care about any of the characters like i cared about samcro. and yeah, it was a lot of terrible people doing terrible shit, altho to be fair so was sons of anarchy.)

Re: Poker Face - YES! She's such a warm hearted person, it's hard not to like her.
