Shondaland’s ‘The Residence’ Is a Sprawling White House Murder Mystery That Works Best When It Amps Up the Humor: TV Review
In Netflix's latest murder mystery from Shondaland, a eccentric detective tries to solve a crime at the White House Residence.
Amid strained relations, the new administration led by President Perry Morgan (Paul Fitzgerald) has beckoned the Australian Prime Minster and his advisersto his home with the promise of Hugh Jackman and a performance from Kylie Minogue (who plays herself). Following Cordelia’s introduction, “The Residence” takes viewers on a dizzying investigation conducted by the detective (an avid and enthusiastic birder) as she questions staff, administration and guests at the state dinner. As the inquiry into A.B.’s murder expands, the series jumps back and forth in time, with the narrative constantly rehashing and adjusting as Cordelia, Edwin, and the audience learn more about what occurred and all of the moving parts leading to A.B.’s death just months before he was set to retire.
