About

"A birdwatching detective outsmarts Washington's biggest liars"

When a body turns up during a White House state dinner, an eccentric detective with a passion for birdwatching is called in to untangle the case, working through a labyrinth of staff, politicians, and secrets inside the residence itself. It plays like a classic drawing-room murder mystery transplanted to America's most famous address, mixing brisk whodunit plotting with sharp comedy and a sprawling ensemble cast. The pleasure comes from watching a genuinely odd, meticulous sleuth outthink everyone in the room while the show pokes gentle fun at power and pageantry.

Watch it for

the delightfully eccentric detective whose deductions turn a stuffy murder mystery into pure comic fun.

Maybe skip if

you find large ensemble casts and dense clue-tracking hard to follow.
