What is Poker Face about?

Poker Face is a crime comedy-drama television series that presents a unique case-of-the-week format, starring Natasha Lyonne as the protagonist, Charlie Cale. Charlie is endowed with a rare talent for discerning truth from lies, a skill that lands her in a series of perplexing criminal situations. As she journeys across the country in her classic Plymouth Barracuda, Charlie inevitably becomes entangled with an eclectic mix of characters and finds herself drawn into solving strange and puzzling crimes. Charlies's nomadic lifestyle and natural inquisitiveness lead her from one incident to another, each episode featuring a self-contained mystery. The series leverages the inverted detective story structure, providing viewers with early insights into the perpetrators of the crimes, and then follows Charlie as she unravels the case. The supporting cast varies episode to episode, adding depth and variety to each story. Created by Rian Johnson, known for his work on films like 'Knives Out', Poker Face delivers a modern take on the mystery genre, blending humor, drama, and the classic structure of a whodunnit in a weekly episodic format.

The first episode of Poker Face aired on January 26, 2023 and the most recent episode to air was on March 09, 2023.
