Poker Face Recap: Bad Bet
These episodes are always more interesting when Charlie is closer to the killer than the victim.
Before we get to Charlie and her accidental trip, however, we meet the titular hometown hero, Russ “Rocket” Waddell, played by Simon Rex, a once-great pitcher who has since lost his fastball and doomed the Montgomery Cheesemongers to a devastating losing streak. • Charlie’s ongoing conversations with Good Buddy give these episodes a nice frame now that Beatrix Hasp has called off her hit, but her reasons for wanting to keep moving feel so much more nebulous now. • Saying an episode of Poker Face has a stacked cast is almost redundant, but I did want to call out Ego Nwodim, who is so funny as a baseball announcer whose addiction to Velvety Canned Cheese is causing physical side effects.
