About Poker Face

Poker Face is a Peacock mystery series created by Rian Johnson that premiered in 2023, reviving the classic case-of-the-week format for the streaming age. It follows Charlie Cale, a casino worker with an uncanny ability to tell when anyone is lying, who goes on the run and ends up solving a murder in every town she passes through — a 'howcatchem' in the beloved Columbo tradition.

Witty, warm, and stuffed with guest stars, each self-contained episode shows us the crime before watching Charlie unravel it, all while a serialized chase keeps her moving down the road. The show is both a loving throwback and a showcase for its irresistible lead.

Anchored by Natasha Lyonne's gravel-voiced charisma, Poker Face is a delightful modern detective series.
