The show kicks off with a fun premise: a murder in the White House and an unconventional detective tasked with solving it. It’s not aiming to be a classic serious thriller, but rather a mix of satire, comedy, and mystery that relies above all on the charisma of Uzo Aduba, who once again proves what a great actress she is. Her character has that enigmatic aura that keeps you hooked even when the plot drifts.
The script isn’t always up to par. Some jokes don’t quite land, and the abundance of dialogue sometimes slows down the suspense. Still, the series remains light and entertaining, offering a parade of suspects and situations that, while not very original, are fun to watch.
The supporting cast does its part, with unexpected cameos that add freshness and energy to each episode. The production keeps the pace lively, even if it doesn’t always balance humor and tension.
At times, it seems more interested in farce than in mystery, which may leave viewers wishing for more depth in the investigation. But in the end, it delivers what it promises: enjoyable, easygoing entertainment, a lighthearted whodunnit you can watch with a smile.
It’s not a show that reinvents the genre, but it does achieve its goal: giving you a good time filled with intrigue, secrets, and plenty of humor.
