The Residence plot

Cordelia Cupp is a consulting detective for the Metropolitan Police Department. Known for her wry wit, relentless pursuit of truth, and keen eye for human behavior, Cupp is the most sought-after detective in the world, and an avid bird watcher to boot. Special Agent Edwin Park is an FBI agent assigned to work with Cupp at a White House state dinner. Although Park is skeptical of Cupp’s unconventional methods, their dynamic promises to be as intriguing as the mystery they’re trying to unravel.

First episode seen, certainly not tiring or funny, just well put together. A touch of lightness in a nice who dunnit atmosphere. I'll watch further soon!

Much less funny than "Only Murders in the Building", which was clearly watched. I found it "would be" funny, caricatural (but not funny) and especially too long. At a certain point my attention was just gone. Nice to see Susan Kelechi Watson again after her brilliant role in "This is us". All in all: not for me.

The editor has really been working overtime on this, damn.

A genuine whodunnit, you have to like it. New angles are sought with the bird metaphor as a clear thread. It's all nice and nice, certainly in the beginning. But as I went along I noticed that I had more and more trouble getting through the episodes. Certainly the penultimate one was not doable, too out-of-place.

It was all too much of the same. Sometimes literally, because a lot of (parts of) scenes are brought back. I have the idea that the series could have been half as short. The humor was sometimes certainly funny, but sometimes too weak or forced. A bit of over-the-top characters can't hurt sometimes, but still. Nice to see 'Balki' again by the way (it took me a while to recognize him).

And as said, the editing was wild. Not only the aforementioned excess of mini-flashbacks, but also normal scenes that apparently had to be cut up very hiply. Fun for a while, but a whole season is too much of a good thing. The 'crazy approach' of the detective only works partly.

The last episode must of course bring everything together and that was the interesting episode, but not necessarily because of 'the big denouement'. More because it is nice to watch what has happened/been said, as a kind of nice summary. And gives the realization that half of the series was superfluous.

Fun, especially for genre lovers, but you need to have the patience for it.
