Uzo Aduba's 'The Residence': White House Murder Mystery & More!
Could the hallowed halls of the White House ever be the scene of a murder most foul? Absolutely, and Uzo Aduba is on the case in Netflix's new series, "The Residence," promising a captivating blend of mystery, comedy, and political intrigue.
In this Shondaland production, Aduba trades her orange jumpsuit for a detective's badge as Cordelia Cupp, an eccentric and sharp investigator tasked with solving a murder that occurs during a state dinner at the White House. The victim? None other than Chief Usher A.B. Wynter, played by the inimitable Giancarlo Esposito. As Cupp navigates the maze of upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs secrets within the world's most famous mansion, viewers are taken on a whodunnit journey unlike any other. Aduba’s performance is already generating buzz, with critics noting how "The Residence" showcases a completely different side to the actress, moving far from her acclaimed role as Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren in "Orange is the New Black." The series promises a fresh twist on the classic murder mystery genre, blending suspense with humor and offering a satirical look at the inner workings of the White House staff.
