Netflix series explores White House murder mystery

Netflix's new series "The Residence," led by Uzo Aduba, features a murder mystery set in the White House. The show follows detective Cordelia Cupp as she investigates the death of the Chief Usher, with 157 suspects and a comedic tone. Creator Paul William Davies aims for a light-hearted approach, blending elements of classic murder mysteries with humor. The series focuses exclusively on the White House residence, differing from previous shows that centered on the Oval Office. The show faced production challenges due to the pandemic and the loss of actor Andre Braugher. Giancarlo Esposito took over his role, and the series pays tribute to Braugher in its finale.
