Finished it last night. Very good cast. Several people from Veep. Tons of people you'll recognize. My main draw was Giancarlo Esposito though. It's the same model as the Knives Out movies, but less serious. A little over the top/silly, but good for a laugh.

Netflix's description of the show:

quote:

“132 rooms. 157 suspects. 1 dead body. 1 wildly eccentric detective. 1 disastrous State Dinner. The Residence, a new series from Shondaland, is a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world’s most famous mansion.”

By looking at who solves the murder and the pictures on the wall, I know who exactly committed the murders - The damn Butler did it!

I watched the whole show and not once did I draw that conclusion. She was just a character. The guys were just characters. Doesn't matter to me if they are black/white or male/female.

Just about anything is woke if you want it to be. It’s just a lighthearted comedy. Didn’t get the impression it was trying to send any messages.

It does to the people here. As a character you need to be a white man, preferably straight, to not be considered “woke garbage” on this board.
