It's season over for Poker Face with Peacock's Columbo-style detective show proving a royal flush. The good news is that the whole series can still be streamed online from anywhere, with all 10 episodes already aired. So what are you waiting for?

Poker Face brings us the stellar pairing of Russian Doll actress Natasha Lyonne in a 'case of the week' whodunnit series, devised by Rian Johnson, the mastermind of the Knives Out films. It also feature heaps of guest stars in wildly entertaining roles.

Poker Face is on Peacock in the US but, below, we'll explain how to watch Poker Face online from anywhere in the world, including watching for FREE.

That Netflix paid $450 million for the rights to two Knives Out sequels is proof that anything Rian Johnson touches right now turns to gold, and promisingly, Poker Face looks like an amped-up serialization of that franchise.

It features Lyonne as casino worker Charlie Cale, who finds that her preternatural ability to know when someone is lying makes her an uncommonly good detective – although not someone you’d invite over to play Texas Hold'em.

Each episode introduces a new murder, in the “howcatchem” tradition popularized by Columbo, as Charlie speeds from town to town trying to outrun trouble. And each episode features a dizzying new selection of guest actors: a glittering roster that includes Adrian Brody, Chloë Sevigny, Ron Pearlman, Nick Nolte, Lil Rel Howery, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt among others, who play either murderous criminals or body bag-clad victims.

Expect an outrageously entertaining original series, full of zinging dialogue, twisted mysteries, and high-octane action: basically everything you've come to expect from a Rian Johnson production. Although it's nothing like Knives Out, Poker Face is terrific.

How to watch Poker Face online outside your country

Out of the country for either work or pleasure? If so, you’ll likely encounter geo-blocking restrictions when trying to access your local streaming service, which means you won’t be able to stream the highly anticipated Poker Face online.

Luckily, the best VPN – otherwise known as a virtual private network – provides a simple solution. It alters your IP address to make it appear like you’re somewhere else. While this can be used for privacy, it can also be used to access your preferred streaming platform back home, even when you're out of the country.

Alternatively, you can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus for $9.99 a month, which removes any ad-related interruptions and allows you to download select content to watch offline. Plus, you could save an extra 10% on Premium Plus by purchasing an annual plan at $99 per year.

Peacock is available on a wide range of devices. As web-based service on PCs and laptops, it's also compatible with: iOS, Apple TV, Android, Android TV, Chromecast, PlayStation, Xbox, Vizio Smartcast, select LG smart TVs, and Xfinity Flex 4K.

How to watch Poker Face online in Canada

Up North and this Peacock Original got its debut on Thursday, January 26 – the same day as in the US – through on-demand service Citytv Plus.

It’s currently only available as an add-on channel as part of an Amazon Prime Video subscription. But, as both offer a 30-day free trial to new and returning subscribers (over 12 months from having had an active account), you could access thousands of titles on prime video, stream City TV shows, and enjoy one-day delivery for absolutely nothing for a whole month.

If you decide to keep your membership, Citytv Plus will set you back CA$4.99 a month, in addition to the CA$9.99 fee for your Amazon Prime Video account.

NB: if you’re travelling when new Poker Face episodes debut, you’ll find geo-blocks prevent you from connecting to your streaming service. The solution? Just download a VPN to change your IP address to back home and continue to stream your favorite shows from anywhere.
