Rutger published: Netflix's "The Residence" Features a Groundbreaking Gay President
In a time where a gay president could soon be a reality, Netflix's new series, *The Residence*, dives boldly and creatively right in. The show offers a thrilling glimpse at this possible future with its engaging storyline.

A gripping murder mystery in an iconic setting

Imagine a murder mystery unfolding right inside America's most famous home, and you've got *The Residence*. This show pulls you in with its suspense and drama, set against none other than The White House. With a star-studded cast, including Uzo Aduba from *Orange Is The New Black*, Randall Park from *WandaVision*, and none other than Kylie Minogue, it's a mix that's hard not resist.

A mystery that keeps you guessing

Here's how it sets up: "132 rooms. 157 suspects. 1 dead body. 1 eccentric detective. And a State Dinner that went horribly wrong." The White House becomes a theater where a clever whodunit plays out, exploring not just a murder but also giving a peek at life behind those famous doors. Uzo Aduba stars as Cordelia Cupp, an eccentric detective known as "the best detective in 42 nations," tasked with solving Chief Usher A.B. Wynter's murder, portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito. It's a thrilling ride!

A groundbreaking portrayal

Right at its heart, we've got President Perry Morgan and First Gentleman Elliot Morgan, played by Paul Fitzgerald and Barrett Foa. Their roles aren't just vital plot points; they're milestones in representing LGBTQ+ characters on screen. Fitzgerald, in a candid chat, shared how he resonates with his character, saying, "I'm a queer man myself and didn't have any need or desire even, really, not even in my imagination, that I had ever or needed or wanted, you know, a straight portrayal." It's not just acting; it's living diversity and showing it can take so many forms. Fitzgerald also expressed, "We're everything. Serious, playful, and yes, jumping up in excitement at a Kylie Minogue concert." His enthusiasm reveals so much about how vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ representation can be when done right.

Streaming now: A must-watch series

Currently streaming on Netflix, *The Residence* doesn't just entertain; it breaks new ground in representation on TV. It challenges stereotypes and stresses how important it continues being that underrepresented groups are given authentic voices. Packed with humor, intrigue, and depth, this series demands attention from anyone interested in seeing a reflection not just their reality, but that full spectrum humanity deserves. It prompts a larger conversation about how diverse our future leaders can and should be. As viewers hit play, *The Residence* showcases storytelling's power not just entertaining, but making meaningful conversations about representation happen.
