SPOILERS: This post contains details about the Poker Face, Season 2 penultimate episode ‘Day of the Iguana’

With the season finale of Poker Face coming next week to Peacock, Patti Harrison has enjoyed making some quality television.

The comedian, who plays Alex in Season 2 of Rian Johnson‘s mystery-of-the-week series, spoke to Deadline about being part of the rare ‘howcatchem’ procedural that stands out among a television landscape that mostly “just feels like cash grabs.”

“I think the show is a love letter in a lot of ways to all sorts of TV shows and movies, and everyone involved, they’re all film, TV junkies, and it just really felt invigorating to be like, ‘Oh we’re telling a story that is moving—’” she explained. “Everything feels so alive, I guess.”

Harrison continued, “I feel like I’ve watched some stuff recently that just feels like cash grabs, or it doesn’t really matter if the characters have chemistry, it doesn’t matter if the story is exciting or whatnot. They’re just like, ‘Let’s put this movie out cause we know people will go see it.’ Or ‘Let’s put this TV show out because it’s a franchise, or people will just watch it no matter what.’ And it does feel cool to get to work on something where everyone was so excited to talk about the references, and the planning for the shots, and why the camera moves make sense for the story and the characters’ emotional world and stuff like that.”

Noting in the interview that it was “my dream to work with Rian Johnson,” Harrison joined Poker Face in the back half of the sophomore season as the quirky new friend of Natasha Lyonne‘s Charlie Cale, who quickly develops a bond with the human lie detector as Charlie considers putting down roots after months of being on the run from the mafia.

In the penultimate ‘Day of the Iguana’, directed by Ti West, an assassin (Justin Theroux) frames Alex for murdering the groom (Haley Joel Osment) at a wedding she and Charlie are catering. The Lyonne-helmed finale ‘The End of the Road’, available to stream July 10 on Peacock, sees the duo on the run from the FBI and the mob as they get to the shocking truth behind who placed the hit and framed Alex.
