Giancarlo Esposito’s New Crime Series Rides an 85% Rotten Tomatoes Score To Streaming Success

Giancarlo Esposito will always be known for his role as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, but the five-time Emmy Award nominee has a new show on Netflix that’s dominating streaming charts. Esposito stars alongside Randall Park and Uzo Aduba in The Residence, the latest screwball comedy/whodunnit mystery streaming on Netflix. The show follows White House staff workers and the lives they share with the First Family. All eight episodes of The Residence dropped on Netflix more than a month ago (March 20), and although it took some time, the series has infiltrated the Netflix top 10, sitting at #8 at the time of writing. It also stars Molly Griggs and Ken Marino and earned solid scores of 85% from critics and 77% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
