Summary

In the podcast “Procedurally Generated,” host Jermaine Harris shares his experience watching the Amazon Prime show “Bosch.” Initially skeptical after the first episode, he found the series to be compelling and engaging as he progressed through the first season.

He draws a comparison between “Bosch” and “Ray Donovan” in terms of cinematography and dialogue. He recommends “Bosch” to listeners with Amazon Prime.

Summary

In this episode, he discusses the show “Poker Face,” which stars Natasha Lyonne as a character with a unique ability to detect lies. While not a traditional police procedural, the protagonist’s focus on solving crimes places it in a similar realm. The show follows her as she travels to different cities and encounters various crimes. What sets the show apart is that her ability is not explained in a supernatural way; it’s just a part of who she is. The mysteries in each episode are self-contained, making it enjoyable for viewers who can suspend their disbelief. If the show returns for a second season, it is hoped that the format will remain consistent.
