A mystery-of-the-week series following Charlie Cale, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can't help but solve. Guest stars are plentiful throughout, from Ellen Barkin and Adrien Brody to Luis Guzmán and Chloë Sevigny. An inverted detective series, also known as a "howcatchem" and popularized by "Columbo," the crime and perpetrator are shown at the beginning of each episode, and follows Charlie as she tries to solve the mystery.

David Opie Empire Magazine If the impressive highs of Season 2 are anything to go by, Poker Face could easily go on for ten more seasons and just get better each time. (No lies detected.) Rated: 4/5 May 3, 2025 Full Review Phil Harrison Independent (UK) Like the shows it most obviously recalls (it’s impossible not to mention Columbo at this point), it’s deeply contrived. But the contrivances are a big part of the fun -- sometimes they subvert conventions, sometimes they wink gleefully at them. Rated: 4/5 May 2, 2025 Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence It’s important to have a crime show that never once forgets, in even the silliest of scenarios, that murderers and victims aren’t just plot devices. They’re people. Rated: A- May 2, 2025 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire Season two gives us another dozen adventures with Lyonne’s unorthodox investigator, and not a single one is a whiff. Rated: 10/10 May 3, 2025 Full Review Garrett Martin Paste Magazine At its best Poker Face Season 2 rivals the best of Season 1; at its worst, it just tries a little too hard. Rated: 7/10 May 2, 2025 Full Review Samantha Nelson IGN Movies Driven by a magnetic performance from Natasha Lyonne, clever writing, and a laundry list of comedic guest stars, season 2 of the howcatchem isn’t prestige TV, but it should definitely be on your watch list. Rated: 8/10 May 2, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
