Season 2 of Peacock's "Poker Face" Deals Natasha Lyonne Another Hand of Devilishly Delightful Mysteries | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Briefly

'Poker Face' season 2 continues its unique storytelling style, blending episodic crime-solving with humor. While the overarching narrative follows Charlie Cale's attempts to evade dangerous foes, each episode stands alone with original plots, reminiscent of 1970s television. The show brilliantly combines the elements of a murder mystery with a quirky, dark comedy approach, enhancing the viewing experience. Rian Johnson's creative vision and high production values are evident, as the series introduces fresh twists while maintaining its signature charm and wit, promising an engaging continuation for fans.
In keeping with its nods to the rhythms of '70s network television, each episode of Rian Johnson's reverse-detective show follows (more or less) a distinct and delicious formula.
Her strong sense of duty, her quick wit, and her nose for dissemblage. And that's where Johnson's show shines, revamping the old 'Columbo'/'Murder, She Wrote' formula into a wacky dark comedy.
