‘Only Murders in the Building’ Meets ‘West Wing’ in Netflix’s 8-Episode Mystery Miniseries

Comedic murder mystery series seem like an odd concept at first, but the niche genre is gaining ground. From Only Murders in the Buildingto The Afterparty, each series has its own twist, including the often-forgotten Netflix series, The Residence. The 2025 series combines Only Murders in the Building‘s quirky characters and humorous mystery withThe West Wing‘s focus on daily life in the White House. But instead of exploring the President’s senior staff, The Residence offers an upstairs-downstairs twist with a behind-the-scenes look at the White House from the kitchens to the basement.
