Guys, I have finally hopped on The Residence bandwagon, and if you haven’t already, it’s time to get in on the action. Sometimes when there’s a lot of hype surrounding a movie or a television show, I get a little skeptical because, well, the hype isn't always deserved. Not the case here. The Residence is the real deal, which is exactly why it’s still on Netflix’s ten shows list (in the eighth spot, to be exact) more than a month after its release—quite the impressive feat.
The series stars Uzo Aduba as a quirky detective tasked with solving a murder at the White House. The “whodunnit” element combined with the eccentricity of some of the characters/suspects makes this show something of a 2020s version of Clue. Aside from the suspense/mystery components, this show is also quite comical, making it an enjoyable watch. Aduba shines bright as the lead, but I also have to call out Giancarlo Esposito, as he delivers a riveting performance as the White House Chief Usher.
