Valentina G @Valentina_G Sep 4, 2026 I really enjoyed this show and it shouldn't have been cancelled. Uzo Aduba is so funny and quirky as the poirot-like detective, and she brings so much charm to the role. Twists and turns in a way that a classic whodunnit should do it.

So I will just use the adjectives everyone else seems to be using... witty, charming, slick, etc. But really what stood out to me was the set design. Imagine a recreation of the 132-room White House set in which the actors moved freely through. The plot was true to all the elements of a good mystery. There were many twists and turns and red herrings which kept it compelling. I confess that I had picked 4 different suspects for the whodunit aspect during the Series. I even added a 5th during the final Episode. I was wrong of course. Uzo Aduba stars as the eccentric, quick-witted, but genius, lead detective Cordelia Cupp. There is so much good in this film that there is plenty room to build a series of Cordelia Cupp movies. Unfortunately, it sounds like they blew the budget so bad on this film that there is not enough backing to continue. WHAT A SHAME!!!

Ultimately very happy I came back to it though - it's a very clever and funny whodunnit. The writers do a really great job of creating dozens of suspects with plausible motives, and making those characters stupid enough to continue implicating themselves. Much like the detective herself, I didn't know who the guilty was until the final minutes. Great cast all around, but kind of an ingenious use of Al Franken.

It's silly, stylish and surprisingly charming, and the ridiculous characters are honestly what made it for me. See more Earline S @RT56719066900 Aug 9, 2026 It was so good. I thought it was really funny. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 17, 2026 Foi muito divertido assistir à conexão entre a observação de pássaros e um caso de assassinato. O humor, a incerteza e as peculiaridades dos atores deram um toque especial à história. Foi uma série muito boa e divertida, vale a pena rever. See more Read all reviews
