@em777 1d A truly excellent murder mystery series! See more Pedro T @Periclex95 3d If you don’t like a murder misters why even bother criticizing? If you do then you would admit this was sublime. See more Aggie N. @Aggie Nov 25 Great show. So sad there won’t be a season 2. See more Marco L @decatur555 Nov 23 (CASTELLANO) La serie arranca con una premisa divertida: un asesinato en la Casa Blanca y una detective poco convencional encargada de resolverlo. No busca ser el clásico thriller serio, sino un cóctel de sátira, comedia y misterio que se apoya sobre todo en el carisma de Uzo Aduba, que demuestra una vez más lo buena actriz que es. Su personaje tiene ese aire enigmático que consigue atrapar incluso cuando la trama se dispersa. Lo cierto es que el guion no siempre está a la altura. Hay momentos en los que las bromas no terminan de encajar o el exceso de diálogos frena el suspense. Sin embargo, la serie nunca deja de ser ligera y entretenida, ofreciendo un juego de sospechosos y situaciones que, aunque poco originales, se ven con una sonrisa. El reparto acompaña bien, con cameos inesperados que aportan frescura y una energía contagiosa en cada episodio. La producción sabe mantener un ritmo ágil, aunque no siempre logre equilibrar humor y tensión. En ocasiones parece más interesada en la farsa que en el misterio, y eso puede dejar con ganas de un mayor desarrollo en la investigación. Pero al final, lo que propone es un entretenimiento simpático y accesible, un whodunnit en clave ligera que se disfruta sin demasiadas pretensiones. No es un título que reinvente el género, pero sí una serie que cumple lo que promete: pasar un buen rato entre intrigas, secretos y mucho humor. (ENGLISH) 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.

The offbeat humour is amazing, all the characters are so colorful. Maybe could have been a bit shorter but overall what a blast ! See more Read all reviews
