The Residence

Great show, but found myself looking at emails and doing laundry because it would go off on tangents. The acting is great! I never read the book it is based on. There are so many great characters, and it felt like a long version of the movie "Clue". There are just so many episodes that LAGGGGGG and LAGGGGG and LAGGGG. The first couple are great but 3-5 I really found so boring, yet I watched (even while doing other things), so maybe I missed something important, but I REALLY wished they would have shortened this down!

It is a good show, but, again, some episodes we could have done without or shorten them.

This is really a GREAT TV-show. Every one of us in my family was laughing out loud, it's funny.

The cast have performed well in a very keen observation but freedom given by the director.

I felt like, I was reading a really good novel. The pace is perfect for the story which is non stop fun.

Can I just say.... Editing was a work of a genius.

. As a full time professional editor myself, editing is the first and main thing Im looking for in a film/show. I can't imagine how much work it took to edit this type of show with every flash back, flash forward and present time which never feels messy, amazing work.

They found the perfect flow, matched with great music. I can imagine it must have been fun tho. Looking forward to finishing it off. If I don't see this show getting super high ratings I will be shocked for sure.

You can surely Enjoy.

Sheila is my girl! She is hilarious. Her character has little one liners that make you ask yourself "Did she just say that", (Lol) the looks, mannerisms. Love her. Not to take anything away from the whole show, it was brilliant! It has many good and funny characters, like the Presidents mother-in-law, the Austrailian aide that was in the garden with the female chef/cook. But Sheila kept me chuckling all the way through the series. I couldn't wait for her to be back on the screen, even in the background to see if she was up to something or was she MIA drinking MIL's vodka! I'm going to binge it all again because of my girl Sheila.

In the beginning I thought it was going to be another boring show, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself watching this in one sitting till the very end.

The show reminds me a mix of Sherlock BBC and Poirot but more modern and lighthearted. Every single character has their own plot, motivation that made me guessing till the very end. Overall in the writing aspect it was incredibly smart and i was thoroughly impressed.

However, this show is the definition of milking something till the very end or dragging it (no pun intended). An 8 episode show each episode roughly an hour long could have literally been a 1hr and 30minute movie. But the writers decided to just keep adding things, unnecessary plot that has no connection to the actual story whatsoever.

I would have love for this to be a continuing series but please for the love of god keep each case to 2-3 episodes.

A fantastic "cozy"-style mystery: light, wickedly clever, and keeps you guessing to the very hand. Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cup is a great lead. The supporting cast has additional strong characters as well, though some of these portrayals are less even. As much as I enjoyed the first season and wish for more, I find it hard to imagine how a second season could live-up to the first: further developing the Cup character (so that she is not just a repetition of the Cup we already know) will be hard. But, then, Columbo was consistently great season after season. Cmon Netflix do the right thing here and renew it !
