Synopsis
The Residence (2025) — watch online on iFILM: a Netflix comedy-detective series set inside the White House, where a murder at a state dinner turns 132 rooms and 157 suspects into a locked-room puzzle. Uzo Aduba plays Detective Cordelia Dorp, brilliant and aggressively odd, dispatched to solve the case before the scandal consumes the administration.
Cordelia follows no rulebook. She annoys everyone around her, misses nothing, and treats the White House staff — butlers, ushers, Secret Service, kitchen crew — as a cast of suspects with equal suspicion. Giancarlo Esposito, Randall Park, and Isaiah Whitlock Jr. round out an ensemble that keeps the comedy grounded in real stakes.
Shonda Rhimes created and produced the series, bringing her trademark rapid-fire dialogue and institutional satire to a whodunit format. Eight episodes, one gloriously chaotic investigation. Stream The Residence online on iFILM.
