The Residence - Netflix

[ohcrikeynotagain]

Anyone watching this.

It's blinking excellent. Have limited myself just to two episodes so far.

Love the actors
Love the titles of the episodes
Love the schematics of the White House
Love the senate hearing.
Love the interplay between the different branches of law enforcement

It's a shondaland show

Yes - watched it last night and lunch time - loving it so far.

Oooh this sounds like it might be on my watch list. I’m looking for something new after watching The One That Got Away.

I gave up half way. I might go a k to it. I know it’s a comedy but I thought the ineptitude of everyone was over the top. Plus the ‘quirky’ bird watching got on my nerves.

I'm loving it so far. Very good actors.

Intending to watch so just placemarking

So,we've seen Kylie. Will Hugh Jackman make an appearance as he's one of the guests?

Just started and it’s looking promising

No Hugh, just his voice

I thought it was a bit like small town big story.

In that it was a comedy, but not funny.

Which seems to be a theme on TV recently.

I love Uzo Aduba, she was great in orange is the new black.

I’m on episode 3, really enjoying it. Great pace, funny, enjoying the storyline.

I really enjoyed it but yes it was a comedy but not funny with only a few laugh out loud moments.

It was clearly poking fun at TV dectivies and murder mystery plots but had a cracking pace kept you guessing at times - I liked the committee bit especially at end.

I personally prefered it to Knives out and Glass Onion films.

We have 3 episodes left to watch and are really enjoying it. It’s a good pace and great characters. Genius to set it in the White House.

Yup I’m hooked

I think it’s funny the same way ‘Only murders in the building’ is.
I watched over two nights and even my teenage DD enjoyed it.
We enjoyed that it sort of made fun of other detective characters etc.
The last episode was classic.

I have binged watched it all and thoroughly enjoyed it. Made me laugh at various points and I loved the piss taking of other murder mysteries. Didn’t guess the murderer

I lost interest but DH is enjoying it. Is there any chance you could PM me with the murderer and brief explanation of why, Thanks

I've watched it all and found it very entertaining. I'm in awe of the clever plot twists and turns!

Can we discuss spoilers on this thread? I’ve watched it but I was kind of disappointed in how it came to light but also happy for the person picked finally. It seemed too easy.

some parts dragged a bit. Overall enjoyable especially the senate committee.

Very fun. I liked the first episode best though, with the digs at ‘all these dudes… how many can you need?’ Etc…. Felt it lost its sharpness a little, and some of the characters (cooks) and incompetence too ridiculously overplayed. but broadly, a nice, fast-paced frolic, with a good main character!

I finished last night. I loved it 😊

I have 15 minutes left! I’ve totally loved it, such a joy of a show. I’m sad I’ve nearly finished it.

I’m really enjoying is, along with my DD. We are watching one episode a night, but, she’s away for a couple of nights and I’m dying to watch it again. I think Randall Park is very funny and Edwina Findlay as the drinking waiter had us both laughing out loud. We do spend time looking up where we have seen various actors before though.

Yes. Absolutely excellent.

There’s a thread on the clothes, here:
