"The Residence" on Netflix.
Nearly finished it: enjoyable - it's essentially an episodic version of a "Knives-out" type detective drama with comedic themes, with a definite "Clue" influence, if you like that sort of thing.

I started Girl Taken, but then found we don't have paramount and we only have 1 episode.

I liked TRON:Ares but the bad reviews had prepared me so I wasn't expecting too much.
