The Poker Face mystery series, featuring Natasha Lyonne, started from a 2020 dream of leading a Columbo remake. Now in Season 2, the show, created by Rian Johnson and with Tony Tost as showrunner, maintains its Columbo-inspired format. Each episode begins with a crime, often murder. Charlie Cale, played by Lyonne, is a vagabond who detects lies and fights injustice. While Season 2 continues the story from Season 1, it also explores new narrative paths, creating surprise and showcasing a varied guest cast, including notable names like Cynthia Ervio and Kumail Nanjiani.
"Poker Face remains in many ways true to its inspiration point: Each episode begins with the committing of a crime, usually murder, showcasing Lyonne's Charlie Cale, a cheerful vagabond with the uncanny ability to detect any lie."
"Season 2...never feels totally beholden to its established structure, in ways that create surprise on a regular basis. There's even an episode where there's no murder victim - not a human one, anyway."
