Two genres are having a moment right now: murder mysteries and anthologies. And Rian Johnson has just about perfected the recipe for blending them into something sharp, stylish, and endlessly satisfying. Take Cynthia Erivo playing a set of pentuplets, Giancarlo Esposito brooding as a funeral director, and John Mulaney downing half & half like it's moonshine and you're pretty much there. But the real secret ingredient is Natasha Lyonne, whose gravel-voiced charisma and lie-detecting instincts hold Poker Face together.
