The Residence - ★★★★★

This was a happy find! The whole family gathered around to watch this one as we really like whodunits. The show has a wonderful cast and lots of twists and turns that kept us entertained.

I think the best thing about the show is the interaction between the different characters. Every episode focuses on one character and what they were doing before, during, and after a murder has taken place. I feel that it’s more important than actually solving the murder as we are drawn into why the murder happen.

One thing I liked about the show is brave enough to have moments of silence. A lot of shows are focused on making sure that the viewer is constantly engaged. The Residence shows the power of just being quiet in western culture. A lot of us are not wired to have a quiet moment and do not know what to do when nothing is stimulating us.

Overview
