Back in the latter part of the 20th Century, detective shows knew how to have fun. But then, when the clock struck 2000, the murder of the week series became all about the blood.
But then, in January 2023, the clock turned back the hands of time, and Peacock gave us Natasha Lyonne as Poker Face. And for ten glorious episodes, we were able to watch Columbo meet Jessica Fletcher meet Frank Dresbin!
Ever since the season finale, we have been waiting for Charlie Cale to come back as the Human Lie Detector. And now we know she will be back on the case on May 8th.
For Season 2’s 12 episodes they’ve taken her journey to the next level one murder mystery at a time. From minor league baseball to big box retail, from funeral homes to alligator farms and even a grade school talent show, Charlie navigates her crime solving existential road-trip with deadpan wit, human empathy, and her signature uncanny lie-detecting ability.
After watching the trailer, I am even more excited for Charlie and her run in with the female Damien!
Poker Face will finally be back on Peacock on May 8th with three episodes and a lot of guest stars. How many? 52 in total, which is the same amount as there are cards in a deck of cards.
Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) is back on the run, and in Season 2, we’ve taken her journey to the next level one murder mystery at a time. From minor league baseball to big box retail, from funeral homes to alligator farms and even a grade school talent show, Charlie navigates her crime solving existential road-trip with deadpan wit, human empathy, and her signature uncanny lie-detecting ability.
What the streamer left out in the description is a whole lot of funny. It is one of the most cleverly written shows on television.

Wicked is defying gravity on Peacock on March 21st. And we are getting more than just the 2-hour and 45-minute film which was shown in movie theaters.
The streamer will also be streaming a sing-along version so that you, I mean, I, can torture my cat and neighbors! Although, at this point, we, I, know all the lyrics.
There is more. The 10-time Oscar-nominated movie is coming with bonus features:

On the last episode of The Traitors, Boston Rob was voted out by the Faithfuls at the Round Table. However, there was one Faithful who stood up for him, and that person was Dylan Efron.
The two men formed such a bond that they cannot stand being apart from each other. Even being in different hotel rooms on the same floor is too far apart for them. So much so that they ran into each other’s arms because they do not know what to do without the other one.
Seeing their bromance bloom is so sweet. I hope that Peacock decides to give them a Podcast to recap the episodes.
On that note. Tune in on Thursday to see how Zac Efron’s brother does without his bro.
The first season of the US version of The Traitors was great because it was a mix of reality stars and real people. However, the second season was all reality names. And it wasn’t as good because they are used to faking it for the camera.
And they are doing the same for the third season. Today, Peacock released the first look at the upcoming season, and I think the show is done. It feels very fake to me. If I want to watch a bunch of reality show bad guys fighting with each other to win a prize, I will watch House of Villains on E!, which I do.
Are you getting the same vibe as me? Will you watch it when it debuts on January 9th?
