Peacock is, for those of you who missed it, also where Poker Face season 1 aired. So a subscription will let you watch both seasons.

A subscription to Peacock's cheapest tier is $7.99 per month or $79.99 annually, but that makes you put up with commercials. For $11.99 monthly or $119.99 annually you can stream ad-free. Sometimes Peacock deals make it cheaper for your first few months.
