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.

Critics Consensus

Instead of reshuffling its winning formula, Poker Face's second season doubles down on the winning virtues of its predecessor and scores a jackpot.

Wenlei Ma

The Nightly (AU)

In each adventure, Poker Face captures a truth of the human experience, but it’s also entertaining as hell.

I won’t spoil the specifics of the premiere’s murder or how Charlie eventually solves it, but the fuel keeping the pacing and story burning at every twist and turn is absolutely Erivo.

Benji Wilson

Daily Telegraph (UK)

But even though there’s always a murder and a new small-town sign to tell you you’re somewhere new each week, the format that TV jettisoned a few decades back feels, ironically, fresh and exciting.

Rated: 4/5

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the show from the beginning as I appreciate the creative writing that’s involved, and watching the outstanding actor Natasha Lyonne, and get a kick out of seeing the guest stars.

Rated: 4/4

It’s difficult to resist getting swept up by [Poker Face Season 2]. And, honestly, why would you try?

The Newnan Times-Herald

And by putting Cale on the road in a classic 1969 sky-blue Plymouth Barracuda, “Poker Face” is like a bridge to television’s golden past.

Rated: 8/10

Season 1 was amazing, season 2 is terrible. Season 2 is way too campy and silly. The characters have been dumbed down to make the mysteries work.

The first season was somewhat grounded despite a fantastical premise and was a great watch. This one is just a clown show.

First two episodes pretty good. Then the language got ridiculous. It’s like the writers don’t know how to write a line without using the f-word 10 times or something over the top crude. Got old fast. Very low class production.

First season was great! Really disappointed in the second season. Just doesn't keep my interest. Plots of each episode are pretty ridiculous. Charlie does not show up until about 1/2 through each episode. Just does not have the same panache as the first season.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
