'Poker Face' might be a procedural that thoroughly loves 'Columbo,' but unlike most modern takes on the form (and the original Columbo), the Peacock series does not center on law enforcement or any official agency. And that's what makes it great.

and his. Lyonne’s big brown eyes and mop of red hair give her an innocent, childlike quality, while her wise cracks and weathered voice cut the sweetness with a wry curmudgeonly air.tends to suspects into rooms she shouldn’t, say things she shouldn’t say, and accept beverages from people who clearly should not be fucked with. She’s also an empathetic, justice-minded pair of eyes into both the crimes and the small worlds that contain them.

But what does justice look like when you’re just one person with no gun, no badge, and no force behind you? That’s where things can get really interesting. Sometimes, Charlie is able to both solve the mystery and gather enough evidence to get police involved. This was the case in a handful of episodes throughout the season so far. The most fascinating outcomes, however, are those that force Charlie to think outside the box.

In the show’s fourth episode, “Rest in Metal” , Charlie doesn’t have the goods to send the murderer—Ruby Ruin, played by Lyonne’s real-life pal, Chloe Sevigny—to prison. She does, however, manage to make sure that they will never benefit from the song she and her bandmates killed to steal. For Ruby, obscurity is a fate far more terrifying than prison—and being famous as a thieving hack? That’s even worse. Charlie even gets Ruby featured on a murder podcast to boot.
