TV Series


Just finished The Residence.

I'm not a massive fan of detective stories - we all got our fill of Miss Marple, Poirot, etc. in those sleepy moments after sunday lunch at our grandparents I'm sure - but this had a lot to commend it:
Set in the White House; eccentric detective; a story that ticks along at a decent pace; ensemble cast (including a cameo from Kylie Minogue as Kylie Minogue); generally amusing and laugh out loud funny in places; some lovely comic acting, not least from Uzo Aduba playing the lead. As with all detective stories it gets a bit lost in its factual matrix and the whodoneit at the end didn't feel satisfying.

Very enjoyable.

Excellent summary - had a lot of promise from the start but almost tried too hard to be good. The last episode was a farce.
