Murder-mystery Poker Face , courtesy of Rian Johnson of Knives Out and The GlassOnion fame: If you’ve got nine hours to spare, we suggest you spend them on this series starring Natasha Lyonne as Charlie, a casino worker with an almost supernatural ability to tell when someone is lying. A love letter to the classic weekly murder-mystery TV shows of the 70s and 80s, Charlie starts using her gift to uncover murders she encounters on the road. Each episode introduces a brand new cast (save for Lyonne) and a convoluted Columbo-style case to solve. In a unique twist, the culprit is made known to the viewer from the start, and our focus isn’t on who did it, but whether Charlie will figure it out — she doesn’t know what the truth is, but she knows what it isn’t. Guest stars featured on the show include Adrien Brody, Ron Perlman, Chloë Sevigny, and Jameela Jamil. If you’ve been looking to scratch your Rian Johnson itch, you might want to parcel the show’s 10 episodes out until his next project.
