Assassinato na Casa Branca

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.

OMgoodness!! I knew when I saw it was from Shondaland that it would be good - but I didn't expect this! So good from the first episode to the very end!! Great rabbit holes to throw you off the trail! Uzo Aduba was amazing in the role of Cordelia - as were all the cast! You love them, you hate them, you blame them and then hear the backstory. Only thing I didn't like was the imitation of Hugh Jackman (not needed). Funny, intriguing and I loved the bird info. I highly recommend this series and I hope that there will be a season two and beyond to follow ( like the Knives Out series). More Cordelia please!!

This show looks and sounds quite a bit like 'Only Murders In The Building', and it is quite similar. As if the female detective from season on of OMITB had her own show. But then it rolled out similar to a 'Thin Man' movie and/or an Agatha Christie plot with hints of Upstairs Downstairs.

It's quite entertaining and stands on its own. Each potential suspect has their own story, the writing is witty and the plot is THICK with all kinds of cobwebs. Everyone has a motive, even the guests at a state dinner. Detective Cupp is a very interesting woman and I enjoyed her analogies to birds and situations. I see a franchise waiting to happen and I am here for it.

This show is a bit of a conundrum. On one hand it has all the pitch perfect elements of high end entertainment; humor, an all star cast, a fun setting, a twisty story. But on the other hand, it drags like a wet mop, especially in the last three episodes where it reveals crucial information in clumsy chunks for sake of pushing the plot forward. There is a near masterpiece show buried here that needed a few more rounds of refinement to tighten up, although I'm fairly certain Netflix forced the show runners to stretch this story over 7 episodes. If it had been 4 episodes, where every detail mattered and every revelation built to something greater, this may have been one of the best detective shows of all time. Instead we're left with 5 episodes of red herrings that we know are red herrings from the outset for sake of painting by numbers. Ultimately the payoff is satisfying but not mind blowing like the Usual Suspects or The Orient Express, which will keep the show from having much staying power. Enjoyable? Absolutely. Genius? Not even close.

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.
