If there was any doubt that streaming has now officially displaced cable, you simply have to look at the talent pool that showed up in 2023. Apple signed a deal with bestselling writer Dennis Lehane, the first series being the excellent BLACKBIRD. You have the top-tier team of Nolan/Joy active in the sci-fi arena. The two creators behind SMALLVILLE took a hiatus and came back with guns blazing, bringing us the highly addictive (and brilliantly written) WEDNESDAY. And here Rian Johnson, who broke into the industry with the vastly unappreciated BRICK --- on my IMDb list of the best films ever!! -- and stunned audiences with KNIVES OUT, brings us POKER FACE, a series where the talented Lyonne finally finds a role that fits her like a glove.((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer." Please check out my list "167+ Nearly-Perfect Movies (with the occasional Anime or TV miniseries) you can/should see again and again (1932 to the present))
