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?
