Murder at the WH, bunch of suspects and a singular detective.

Enjoyed it quite a bit, wife got bored. Drags at times but still fun to watch till the end.

My wife and I are enjoying it. If you liked the Knives Out movies, you'll probably like this.

It's good that Netflix drops all the episodes at once. We now wait for weekly streaming series to be fully dropped before watching them. It never bothered us watching network series because those creative teams knew how to create a weekly entry with a beginning, middle and end while often maintaining a longer arc. These streaming guys don't have that skillset. They just helter-skelter chop their 8 hour movies into portions

Initially passed on it. But gave it a shot after the good comments here. But stopped part way through E1. The story was a little intriguing but there were some irksome things I couldn’t get past.

We enjoyed it. Remember it's meant to be a comedy so don't read too much into it.

It has a number of actors/actresses that I've enjoyed in other shows.

Similar response except we didn't make it five minutes. We wanted to like it, Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes from "Orange is the New Black") has been doing some good work but no, five minutes at best.
