The internet reacts to The Residence trailer, with Among Us leading the charge in this murder mystery frenzy

The teaser for The Residence, which hinted at a murder mystery set in the White House with upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs, sparked a quick response of excitement and laughs on the internet. Fans used smart and clever methods (wordplay, because this is Twitter) to show their excitement for Shondaland's newest show.

One user tweeted,

“It took 13 seconds for Uzo to appear, which means it took me 13 seconds to decide I was all in," referring to Uzo Aduba's immediate appearance in the trailer.

Another tweet captured the cheeky absurdity of the premise, which felt a little too close to reality:

“A murder mystery in the White House? Bold of them to market it as fiction,”.

Another user jokingly pointed out the Among Us (unnecessary) choice of solving a case with so many detectives, tweeting,

“That’s a lot of people to be trying to find 1 suspect,” alongside a gif of a man saying, "You did it!".

The internet wasn’t shy about throwing out possible plot twists either.

“The president is the killer,” one user speculated, clearly having fun with the mystery aspect of the show.

And, of course, the Shonda Rhimes fandom was front and center with one fan exclaiming,

“All I had to see was Shondaland. I’m seated,” expressing their faith in the powerhouse behind The Residence.

In terms of expectations, one fan set the bar high, tweeting,

“This better serve Glass Onion’s nachos 😍,” comparing The Residence to another popular murder mystery.

Another hilariously quipped,

“Clue… but make it House of Cards,” imagining the political twist the show will add to the classic whodunnit formula.
