Pick of the Day
The Residence, Netflix
Here's the latest from Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland. Its showrunner is Paul William Davies, who performed the same role on Scandal.
It looks like Shonda Rhimes does Knives Out.
It's a screwball whodunnit set in the upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs of the White House, among the eclectic staff of the world's most famous mansion.
Uzo Aduba stars as Cordelia Cupp, a consulting detective for the Metropolitan Police Department.
Known for her wry humour, relentless pursuit of truth, and sharp eye for human behaviour, Cupp is the most sought-after detective in the world - and an avid birder to boot.
Joining her is Randall Park as Special Agent Edwin Park of the FBI, who is tasked with partnering with Cupp during a high-stakes State Dinner.
While Park harbours scepticism about Cupp’s unconventional methods, their dynamic promises to be as intriguing as the mystery they seek to unravel.
