Season 1, Episode 5: "Time of the Monkey" Even “Exit Stage Death” has its fair share of highlights, though, including one brutal twist involving a trap door and Jameela Jamil that is both genuinely shocking and creatively ingenious. The episode’s central murder mystery also proves to be a bit too easy to solve, which makes its third act fall short of the high standard set by Poker Face’s other episodes. Of all of the Peacock series’ debut chapters, this mid-season adventure gives the smallest amount of screentime to Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie Cale, who - despite Poker Face’s star-studded lineup of guest stars - is the real reason why viewers should tune into the series. Despite that fact, “Exit Stage Death” falls somewhat flat. Peacockĭirected by Ben Sinclair and written by Chris Downey, this over-the-top installment of Poker Face has the good fortune of counting Ellen Barkin and Tim Meadows as its two main guest stars. Tim Meadows and Ellen Barkin turn in a pair of deliciously over-the-top performances in Poker Face’s least impactful episode.
