At eight episodes, it’s two episodes too long. Nevertheless, this is pure pleasure and lots of fun. Each actor, no matter how small the role, is a standout.

The Residence is a delightful, sometimes breathless romp, despite a few longueurs along its somewhat frantic journey...

| Apr 21, 2025

I assume producers only decided it was a comedy after they had made it; otherwise, I can’t explain why there aren’t any jokes.

| Original Score: D | Apr 18, 2025

Binge-watching The Residence over the weekend made me nostalgic for old-school mystery stories led by a charismatic, often eccentric, protagonist.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2025

...the series is long and talky and bogs down in spots in a few early episodes. Stick with it. The surprises keep piling up as fast as the clues...

...Shonda Rhimes has become "conventional," and these appropriation operations can be seen today as part of the same tired strategy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2025

The Residence doesn’t come in as an exaggerated attempt to be a feminist version of something male, instead, it just spins an entertaining yarn, packs it with great actors and puts a captivating performer at the tip of the spear and lets it fly.

What Knives Out owes implicitly to Agatha Christie or The Last of Sheila, The Residence would rather point out explicitly.

| Apr 3, 2025

With great turns from Susan Kelechi Watson, Edwina Findley, Randall Park, and the always excellent Uzo Aduba, it’s well worth the fun and funny ride.

The ensemble cast of suspects are not only a fun-to-watch group of colorful characters each with their own compelling backstories and unique personalities, but basically all of them have motives and/or alibis for the murder.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Mar 31, 2025

The Residence on Netflix is one of the most meticulously crafted screwball comedy whodunits I’ve watched in years.

| Original Score: A+ | Mar 30, 2025

Netflix's eight-part murder mystery wants to march alongside the genre's greats. But a part of it also wants to throw a banana peel in their path.

If cozy mysteries featuring a kooky but likable ace detective are your cup of tea, you’ll thoroughly enjoy Cupp and company.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 27, 2025

In 2025, the timing may be a little off for a quippy, rapid-fire White House farce, but this series is still good fun.

| Mar 26, 2025

Uzo Aduba and Randall Park lead this extraordinary cast in this comedy whodunit series from the world of Shondaland. I was guessing until the finale!

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 26, 2025

Although some of the ensemble did feel one-dimensional at certain points, it is by far the best part of The Residence.

| Original Score: 3.25/5 | Mar 25, 2025

But what The Residence lacks in sharpness, it makes up for with a breezy spirit and a wonderfully dry, deadpan lead performances from Aduba.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2025

This is a witty screwball comedy with a wonderful lead character: Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba)...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2025

A must-see for fans of 'Knives Out'. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 24, 2025

Ultimately, “The Residence” is that rarity: something that’s made with great care and much talent, and yet is at heart extremely silly.
