3. Yes started it yesterday. So far so good. Love the detective she's funny

[Lars39]

4. Her voice

reminds a bit of Whoopi Goldberg of long ago.

[TommieMommy]

6. She was also excellent on Orange is the new black series years ago.

5. Curious. I had clicked the summary and cast list for that show and he was not listed...

Why isn't he being given billing?

I'm glad I saw your post because I was going to skip over it. Is he in most of the episodes?

[Lars39]

7. He plays a senator.

They cut back to the senate investigation from the criminal investigation a few times per episode so far.
I’m on ep. 4.
He’s listed on the IMDb site.

21. Yes. For some reason Netflix did not give him credit (at least not when I watched it weeks ago)

22. My girlfriend and I watched the first two episode yesterday. I was tickled to see Al

as a US Senator once more. Great casting!

8. Also stars Stephanie Miller's "tiny, baby nephew", Paul Fitzgerald

as the president.

9. Oh, I didn't know that!

[TommieMommy]

10. Just finished it 👍 excellent 👍 loved the ending👍

[Lars39]

11. I'm finally going to watch the last episode tomorrow!

[Ocelot II]

12. I binge-watched the whole thing - loved it!

So many red herrings! All kinds of sly references to other famous detectives, loved "Cordelia Cupp," and just about fell out of my chair when Al Franken showed up right at the beginning playing a senator. A great collection of characters and a delightfully weird and complicated plot.

13. Would also recommend this show

Alot of substory lines that recur throughout
and great character dialogs amongst
the cast. Will watch again .

[dflprincess]

14. And pay attention to the title of each episode

Fun what they did with those.

18. Thanks for posting that!

[intrepidity]

19. My pleasure.

I am trying to add those when I post about something here, so I don't have to give a synopsis, lol. They seem helpful.

16. I'm 3 episodes in

And enjoying it. It seems to drag a little, though.

[Lars39]

17. Yeah, they probably could have done it in seven episodes,

but they don’t do odd numbers.

[nocoincidences]

23. This show was so excellent!!

This deserves to be a series about Detective Cupp....Shonda can do it!

I just don't have enough superlatives to describe it. It is pure joy that makes you want more and more!

[Lars39]

24. Truly!

I’m on my second viewing because my husband didn’t watch it the first time. I caught stuff the second time around I didn’t the first time. 😀

25. Finished it yesterday.

It reminded me a little of an Agatha Christie mystery where all the suspects gather at the end and the detective finally reveals the perpetrator. I thought it was a bit long though.

[Clouds Passing]

26. Watched the whole program. Loved it!

[Pinback]

27. Super fun series -- great writing and production

Just watched Episode 2 and really enjoying it.

[doc03]

28. After watching 3 episodes I just couldn't get into it, boring and not funny. nt

[Pinback]

29. Finally saw the closing episode tonight -- satisfying finish

This was a really fun series, highly recommended. Uzo Aduba as Detective Cupp and Giancarlo Esposito as the White House Chief Usher, A.B. Wynter, were both sublime. Al Franken as Sen. Filkins was also excellent and a hoot.

The series was well written, with only a couple of draggy stretches. There were quite a few well-drawn and interesting characters, and an intriguing setup and plot. Excellent acting all around as well. I learned a lot about birds. And there’s music by Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo) — what’s not to like?
