Reply to comment by cmai3000 in ‘Poker Face’ is an absolute gem of a show. Would be blowing up if it was on a larger streaming service by mattyhegs826

i really like the show, but if you want 'clever' or twists this isn't really the show for you. i know they show the murder at the beginning so it's not really much of a mystery but even the way she solves stuff usually involves a ton of luck and a ton of coincidences. once you realise it's that kind of show it's a fun ride, but if you are expecting holmes like observation and deduction skills, this show is not for you.

Reply to comment by VampireHunterAlex in What are some shows that were advertised to one demographic, but became successful outside of the target demographic? by blqckwidow

we only had like 5 tv stations with 3 being private tv stations that would import tv shows from the US rather than showing self produced german stuff. so a lot of these shows that were 'big' in germany were only big because it was the only alternative to watching some german soap or documentary or something.

so it's not that there were 20 shows but we all wanted to watch "King of Queens", it was just the only thing on if you switched on the tv at 19:15
