Season 1 Review:
Time would’ve been better spent, however, investing in characters — or at least one character. With such a large ensemble, it’s inevitable that most parts will be one-dimensional. That’s fine. .... But why is Cordelia Cupp similarly one-note? Beyond the audience’s preexisting adoration for Uzo Aduba, there’s very little about her character to latch onto.

Season 1 Review:
It’s trying to be cleverer than its genre and more than “just” a murder mystery, as if that wouldn’t have been fun, interesting, or watchable enough. The joke—and it’s way meatier than that running Hugh Jackman one—though is that The Residence should have just stuck to the basics (and given us more Aduba).

Season 1 Review:
The result, unfortunately, is a lot less than the sum of its many, many parts. The main problem with The Residence is that there’s too much of it. Its hour-long episodes (a crime for any comedy series) are stopped dead by flashbacks and flash-forwards that turn the very act of watching into a chore while you’re forced to parse where each scene exists in the timeline.
