Netflix’s new comedy criminal is the perfect weekend

If it was a book, it would be a hell of a page.

Of course, this is a bold statement. But when it comes to ResidenceI will stand on my ground. NetflixA whimsical new Whodunit series of Brief – who is premiere of streaming service On Wednesday, he asks what happens when an important White House dinner is interrupted by the murder of one of the Chamber’s employees? A pure disaster is the answer. Against the backdrop of the cluttered landscape of the mystery of the killings, this show is a delightful distinction.

The case of murder in the residence is a game of numbers: one dead body, 132 rooms and 157 suspects. Needless to say, finding the needle for murder in this complex hay, the team calls a highly qualified investigator. As with any good mystery of murder, this person should have an unconventional style and special methodology. Well, give up Adrian Monk: Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba) is in the building.

As Sherlock Holmes and Benoit White Before her, she is known as the largest detective in the world. Her mission, which she apparently chose to accept, is to allow the crime before the night ends to keep the news under packaging and maintain the political integrity of the nation’s capital.

As you can imagine, her work hits a challenge after another as she interacts with a cavalcade of strong personalities that everyone provides conflict stories about the events that have happened. It should be noted that the White House is not used to a detective that is combined through each corner and that. The place has a specific structure of the rules that keeps the house at all hours, which makes its investigation even more.

If there is any detective, ideal for this strange case, this is Cupp. And Aduba steps into the role with a delightful ease, which makes him feel as if he were always the loving bird, undoubtedly confident granite. Its implementation raises those of its skillful co-stars Randall Park, Giancarlo Esposito, Jasmine Haney, Ken Marino, Edwina Findley, Bronson Pinchot, Mary Wiseman, Paul Fitzgerald and Jane Curtin. I would like to direct my hat to each of the actors who grace the screen here, but the list is too expansive. This hits the mind, they all get a place to shine in these eight episodes.

The residence knows exactly what he is doing and why, winking firmly on the audience while playing in a familiar sandbox genre. Does not rediscover the wheel; It is not necessary. If you had to ask me to describe the show of my elderly mother, I would put it as if the knives were thrown into a blender with an idea, Columbus and a monk, with a murder, she wrote on top. And as it is to the title of this article, this is the perfect boil over the weekend. Don’t worry, I’ll let my mother let me know when I finish writing this.

Former scandal writer Paul William Davis, who created the residence, wrote the episodes and served as an executive producer and showroom, revealed during a virtual press conference that films such as Clue and Noise from influencing the comedy tone of the show.

The comedy works in both examples due to the disgust of each story. Clue finds a group of unlikely guests of the house rolling to stay alive and allow the murder while stuck in a giant mansion; The noises are presented to the chaos that happens behind the scenes as a dysfunctional theater crew, persistent by struggle, struggling with ego and incompetence to revive the stage production.

The residence stands firmly in the farmer shoes of comedy classics like these. Thanks to witty writing, short directing and editing, the pace of the show remains in a stable clip, which complements the right sequences of interrogations and delivers red Hering, making you guess to the very end.

Let’s focus again on the White House for a minute. The presence of this iconic local as zero for this mystery is an intriguing choice. There are many more rooms at this place than in Mr. Blod’s estate in the clue, offering many places to research history. The show also ministers the history of the White House and explores the diverse life of those who work behind the scenes-as chefs, employees and porter staff, which add to the upper floor/lower floor, which reveals a US conflict against the topic, which further complicates the CUPP investigation.

Cupp deepens deeper into this case, as a larger circumference of the sites is carried out during each episode. Did you know that there are two basements in the White House? What do you know about the third floor of the building? How about the sinister sounding red room? The mystery of the crime is offset by the secrets of the White House itself, giving us some kind of internal view of men and women behind the curtain. And this is compelling.

In the scandal, Romes and Davis come to life in the political drama in the oval office, in which the President of the United States regularly represented. The chief commander is a more recent side character in the residence, which is a delightful choice. Cupp admits early on the show that there are too many dudes here. She is not wrong.

Moreover, the president and his mostly male officials are treating, barely qualifying for their work. Harry (Marino), the closest advisor and longtime friend of the president, leads this maniacal, troubled manner that puts the scene for how things are done. As you can imagine, Cupp violates this energy, leading to a lot of fun confrontations with these … well, dudes.

As for the mysteries of murder, the last records in the genre have almost not diverted the laughter to maintain their prestige status. It’s time to go back stupidly. The residence delivers to this front while maintaining its prestigious veneer. The result is a series of mysteries for murder, unlike anything that is currently on television. I’m not telling you now have Watch the show. But I will put my detective hat and conclude that you will have a good time if you do.
