Get ready Benoit Blanc! There’s a new world’s greatest detective in town and her name is Cordelia Cupp.

For Uzo Aduba, Cordelia, from Shondaland and streaming Thursday on Netflix, was a custom-made fit in every way.

An unofficial female counterpoint to Daniel Craig’s brilliant gay sleuth in the “Knives Out” series, Cordelia is called to solve a murder in the White House that upends a formal, sit-down state dinner for Australia’s Prime Minister with celebrated Aussies Kylie Minogue (as herself!) singing and, could that be, Hugh Jackman?

Unlike Agatha Christie’s low profile Miss Marple, Cordelia is a bundle of eccentricities, from her consuming passion for bird watching to her Holmesian tweedy outfit and super swift speech.

“If I’m reading a script and not particularly curious about this character, I’m not interested in doing it,” Aduba, 44, explained in a Zoom interview.

Cordelia is a motor mouth, for a reason.

“She spoke a lot, had these really complex compound sentences. So I had the question, Why? And I realized: Because she processes information really fast. She doesn’t miss a beat.

“She uses those birder skills that she acquired through her hobby; she sees the world from 3,000 feet up. That’s why she is able to put together all of these clues faster than everybody else.

“Then it’s like, she is the best. The smartest. Extremely intelligent. That analysis led into how to build that character.

“A lot of bells were going off in my head as to where her voice was pitched, how she attacked, questioning people of interest. I realized that she doesn’t show anything.

“When we see that episode with her as little Cordelia, you realize that she’s had a trauma. She’s able to emotionally detach. That told me she approaches interrogations with a very straight face. I have a very expressive face. I understood that she does not have one.

“Then I understood that her voice is pitched a little bit lower than mine and she gets words out really quickly.”

As for Cordelia’s passion for birding?

“She uses birding to release from being a detective. And she uses birding in her detective work. Birding has helped make her the world’s greatest detective.

“It’s also helped to have something entirely her own and escape the world that demands so much of her energy and attention.

“And by the way, I went birding as research. I’d never been before. Here, as a matter of fact, is my National Geographic Field Guide” — she showed the book on camera — “and my birding bag.

“It is incidentally,” she discovered, “rather quite relaxing. A peaceful experience. I get why people do it.”
