The greatest detective in the world, Cordelia Cupp, played by Uzo Aduba, comes in and is hired on for the job, and the FBI agent Edwin Park, played by me, is assigned to assist her.

Edwin Park is very aware of her reputation and very respectful of Cordelia because of it.

“The Residence” allows us not to forgo thinking about that for seven episodes as Cordelia Cupp guides us through a tour of clashing personalities, dusty furnishings and a bit of light homicide.

Cordelia’s signature quirk keeps the tone featherlight while doubling as a whetstone; she constantly reminds us that training our focus on the tiniest details about elusive creatures unlocks puzzles.

“The Residence” introduces Uzo Aduba’s Cordelia Cupp from a distance and in the dark, as she stares at a high, faraway point through binoculars, standing on the White House lawn.
