• Who’s in it: Uzo Aduba, Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson
• How many seasons: 1
• For fans of: Knives Out
• Genre: Mystery

Uzo Aduba steals the show in this brand-new Shonda Rhimes mystery, where she stars as a quirky detective who’s tasked with investigating a murder at the White House. Think of it as a cross between Knives Out and Clue.

In my honest review of the show, I wrote, “I would be remiss if I didn’t give major credit to Aduba, who undoubtedly steals every scene she’s in. Her character kinda reminds me of Suzanne ‘Crazy Eyes’ Warren from Orange Is the New Black because Cordelia Cupp is one of a kind (like Crazy Eyes). She’s so unique that her peers don’t quite understand her, and Aduba plays into that nuance beautifully.”
