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

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

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

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

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

It excels at delivering the genre’s more incidental pleasures, which are the real reason so many of us watch or read.

There's a dead body in the White House, and everyone (including Kylie Minogue) is a suspect. With screwball comedy dialogue and a full-throttle vibe, this show is easy to enjoy.

The Residence is all about indulging in fun. Don’t think too hard, just go with it. The armchair detectives are going to devour it.

The series just generally lacks snap, panache, style, verve, or whatever you want to call it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 20, 2025

The show is structured as a manor house murder mystery and wears its influences on its sleeve.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 20, 2025

The Residence” is essentially a blown-out version of an Agatha Christie country-house mystery set in the White House, among its many chambers, public, private and practical.

Aduba is superb, exuding rigid brilliance and appeal.

| Mar 20, 2025

It’s trying to be cleverer than its genre and more than “just” a murder mystery, as if that wouldn’t have been fun, interesting, or watchable enough.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 20, 2025

“The Residence” is fun, frothy and full of intrigue, and sometimes that’s more than enough.

| Mar 20, 2025

The Residence may not be much more than an overstuffed, Shonda-fied take on the same murder mystery you’ve seen a hundred times. But Cordelia Cupp? She’s a revelation, and Netflix would be wise to realize her potential beyond this story.

Though the tone of “The Residence” isn’t as smooth and satisfying as the Rian Johnson films, there is still much to delight in here.

| Mar 20, 2025

Although there is an ensemble vibe, it remains Aduba’s show, and rightfully so. She is a magnetic presence and The Residence takes full advantage of that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 20, 2025

“Fun” is absolutely the watchword of this comic thriller, created by Paul William Davies and produced by Shonda Rhimes, which cross-pollinates Davies and Rhimes’ work on Scandal with the DNA of lots of classic whodunits.

The Residence is a silly programme. It is silly because it is bad 온라인카지노추천, but it is also silly because the premise is flawed.
