Former Pointless co-host turned podcast host Richard Osman has made a very bold claim on social media, having called an American TV series "the best show of the decade."
The TV series is called Poker Face and stars Orange is the New Black actress Natasha Lyonne as a casino employee turned amateur sleuth. Her character, Charlie Cale, has an exceptional talent for detecting lies and whilst on the run she solves a case per episode for various people she meets on the road.

Richard said on X: "The best show of the decade. If you haven't watched it, treat yourself to season one first. The closest we have to a modern-day Columbo."
This was reposted alongside a post by Rian Johnson, the show's creator, where he announced that the second season of the show had launched on the American platform Peacock.
Rian said: "Poker Face season 2 launches TODAY on Peacock! It's a case-of-the-week episodic show, an ode to stuff like Columbo, Rockford… fun guest stars each week, truly episodic so you can pretty much drop into any episode. No heavy lifting, just a good time every time. Share & enjoy!"

Despite being an American made show, the series is available to watch on Sky or Now TV in the UK, with season one available to watch on Sky Max now. The first three episodes of season two have aired exclusively today, May 9, on Sky and NOW and will be followed by a weekly episodic release.
The new season has been "Certified Fresh" on the review site Rotten Tomatoes, which means at least 75% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive. These are voted by professional critics and also everyday fans, who have been raving about the show on social media, much like Richard Osman.
One fan commented on Richard's post: "I love it when you love something I love."
Another added: "Such a great show! I've been hanging out for season 2 to hit the screen."
Some thought calling it the best show of the decade was a bit too far, however. One person said: "It's great but the best of the decade? Big call"

The singer, who fell for former Love Island star Chris in Celebrity Big Brother house, said she struggled to go back to normal life without Chris when she returned to the US for a month. But now the American star, who hails from Nebraska, has recently returned to the UK to be with Chris – and she plans to make good on a promise to mark their love with a tattoo. The happy couple drove fans wild recently with an intimate backstage moment in a post to TikTok. Chris Hughes breaks silence on JoJo Siwa relationship and he's quizzed by Ben Shepherd on This Morning When the pair were seen hugging each other, holding hands and putting bracelets on each other. And at her recent London gigs she changed the lyrics of Bette Davis Eyes to 'Chris Hughes' eyes' as he looked on, giddy and red-faced at a music venue in Shoreditch. The two have set tongues wagging ever since getting close while competing on this year's series of Celebrity Big Brother and have been crossing oceans to spend time together since the show ended. Earlier, last week, Chris gushed about his "favourite person," JoJo as they enjoyed a cosy home dinner that he cooked for her. And recently he opened up about his relationship with the US pop star, as they appeared to confirm their loved-up status. After doing two gigs in London, JoJo headed to Chris' property in Surrey where he whipped her up a scrumptious dinner. But before their cozy dinner together, Chris gave plenty of details about his relationship with JoJo. Including how he had "stomach rumbles" due to his "separation anxiety" from being away from the singer. 6 JoJo admitted that she missed him when she was in America Credit: Click News and Media 6 JoJo swapped sequins for a T-shirt and sweats as she was spotted with her new boyfriend Chris Credit: Click News and Media
