Alia shawkat gay
Since the time we last dropped in on Poker Faceto argue Cynthia Erivo’s impressive turn as five different characters in the season two premiere, a lot has happened! I won’t bore you with a lengthy recap, but here have been some of my favorite moments from the season up to this point: Rhea Pearlman, in general; Carol Kane, in general; the smashing together of seemingly disparate cinematic genres — the rom-com and the heist film — to great success in “One Last Job”; a deliriously murderous child in “Sloppy Joseph” (seriously, where did they discover Eva Jade Halford…I hope she has an illustrious career, preferably exclusively playing little psychos); and Melanie Lynskey pronouncing “umami” as “ooo, mommy.” But this week’s “A Fresh Lease On Death” easily wins finest episode of the season in my book — and not just because Alia Shawkat plays a scheming vile lesbian who fucks grandmas for their rent stabilized apartments and flirts with and/or murders anyone who gets in her way. Though, sure, that’s indeed a rather big selling point.
My enjoyment of any given episode of Poker Face usually greatly
