I'm doing a bit of research for an upcoming BLOG, and stumbled upon this great behind-the-scenes video about the DIRECTING on Netflix's "The Residence". It's SO well-directed AND... get this, THERE ARE ONLY TWO (2) DIRECTORS FOR ALL EIGHT (8) EPISODES! How weird is that? But also - BRILLIANT!
And it's an ensemble...
AND it's a comedy, as well as a murder mystery...
AND it's a SHONDALAND production!
Ob.SESSED!

Oof! It's almost as if no one here thinks directing for television is important or something LOL In a SHONDALAND production, directors are a big deal!

You know I loved this show, Karen "Kay" Ross! The directing is so sharp, and I think having just two directors across the entire season really helped keep the tone and pacing consistent, especially with such a big ensemble. It strikes that perfect balance between comedy and tension, which is so tough to pull off in a murder mystery. Every episode feels intentional and cohesive, which says a lot about the creative leadership behind the scenes.

Haven't seen any of this. The Queen Charlotte series is one of my favorites. I like Shonda Rhimes projects.
