The Residence
Netflix's mini-series The Residence was absolutely amazing! It's a zany murder mystery taking place at the White House during and after the Australian State Dinner.
It's produced by Shondaland (Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Bridgerton). Most of the main characters are Black, including Detective Cordelia Cupp, a Benoit Blanc-like consultant played by Uzo Aduba (Crazy Eyes in Orange Is the New Black). There's also an FBI agent played by Korean American actor Randall Park.
In terms of LGBT representation, you get the President of the United States and his husband. They have minor roles, but it's still a very significant choice.
