Recommendation The Residence is very entertaining!

It gives the vibes of the Knives out/Glass onion “greatest detective ever” stuff. It’s so tongue in cheek about it. They even say in episode 1 they want the guy Daniel Craig plays in the detective movies to investigate. The episodes are named after top nextflix shows/movies (the fall of the house of Usher, Knives out…) and that’s a cute nod. The show is actually really fun and a good mystery. It’s probably not winning Emmy awards but it’s entertaining and a fun watch and I would suggest friends watch it.

Okay, but what was up with the calligrapher? That random character was always throwing me off.

Same! I thought for sure that would be important.
