The Residence

I would KILL just to see Cornelia Cupp on a new case again The Residence is a successful series in its genre, comedy-mystery. I would say this is lowkey the series version of Knives Out, of course not because they referenced the movie twice or thrice. It is because it has sharp, funny, and witty script. And, the development of each character and their stories. But has some plot holes. I love how witty and funny the script is. It makes the series more exciting. The performance of the cast is perfect, especially heavy on Uzo Aduba, Jason Lee, and Ken Marino. The pacing is perfect, it put me on the edge of my sit every episode, and every scene is amazing, never a boring one. The plot is amazing, you could never tell who is the killer... well maybe I did on episode 2 but that's just my gut instincts, I do not have evidences and enough motive at the time. That's why each episode got me so stressed because everything and everyone just keeps on coming in with new information. And it all builds up until the grand revelation. The grand revelation is okay, it is a bit anticlimactic. But it did worked well with the details. Uzo Aduba on the final episode alone deserves an award. And I was clapping because my number one "suspect" —or should I say the most interesting one—was the murderer... OR she is really not, it is just one of the games of Detective Cudd to find the REAL killer, which is Morgan's mother, or morgan himself. Why? noticed how the mother did not gag at the end when the president was mentioned. Observe how morgan was so bothered during the final scenes and how Lilly was looking at him. Maybe, they blackmailed Lilly for her financial mishandlings, and let her took the fall. Also, another detail is the broken glass in the gardenhouse, if there is a broken glass there and two more glasses in the yellow room, that means two person plus A.B. was in there, before A.B. was killed. I have a lot more questions about different details like how the note was in his pocket, what happened to the calligrapher, was he really just having a bad day? really weird... and what is the crash outside where multiple witnesses had said different numbers of people went out of the door? It is a fun watch. I need season 2, but looks like it's not gonna happen. I would kill to see cordelia cupo and benoit blanc witting-out each other for the season 2 tbh..
