The Residence

We finally managed to watch the first episode of The Residence tonight.

Weird to be watching TV again, it's been a while (I think Man on the Inside was the last show for me?).

I enjoyed it, but one episode tonight was enough -- maybe just because we started at a time that meant the first episode finished after 9pm, which I feel like is my cutoff point for functionality, maybe because in combining The West Wing and a Benoit Blanc movie, it went with the speed of dialogue from Aaron Sorkin and the jump cuts from Rian Johnson. I felt exhausted by the amount of information and potential clues that had been poured in to my head by the end of one episode, and I'm sure I missed others (and this was with the audio description).

Also it feels weird to see Al Franken doing a reprise of his badass Senator persona.

I did enjoy it. Maybe I'm just tired.
