whodunit

Secret Service is among the agencies deployed to investigate the escalator whodunit.

This year, she’s vying for lead actress in a comedy for her performance as an eccentric gumshoe on the Netflix whodunit “The Residence.”

It’s a classic whodunit story with Harper — who has plenty of secrets of her own — playing the role of the reluctant detective.

Throw the audience off with a whole lot of silliness and nonsense, and there’s a good chance they’ll forget that a whodunit like this should be building intrigue as it goes.

“Ludwig” is already a hit in the U.K., land of the upbeat whodunit, and its second season pickup can’t have been a surprise.
