On paper, Shondaland and Netflix’s The Residence should be a blast. A White House–set whodunnit? An ensemble cast led by Uzo Aduba, Randall Park, and Giancarlo Esposito? Kylie Minogue is there? Sign me up!
It’s a shame, then, that The Residence squanders that potential with execution that is so unwieldy and one-note you’ll wish you were watching one of the several other whodunnits it pays homage to instead.
