The first five episodes of Poker Face are now streaming on Peacock and the Rian Johnson-created series still has five more episodes to go this season. The show stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman who has the ability to tell when people are lying, and the episodes are formatted similarly to Columbo, meaning the audience watches a guest star commit a murder at the top of the episode before the main character comes in to solve the crime. Poker Face is a big hit with critics and audiences alike and currently has a 99% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 80% audience score. While there’s no official word on whether or not the show will be getting a second season, The Hollywood Reporter’s TV’s Top 5 podcast recently had a chat with Susan Rovner, the chairman of entertainment content at NBCUniversal TV and streaming, who gave a promising update about Poker Face’s future.
