Only Murders in the Building (Hulu, 2021)

Just finished up. Tied up tidily and sweetly and would have made a great ending to the series, but they are clearly doing another season. I was unsure when the season started but about midway through it picked up speed.

What KB said. It seems like they did nine episodes of just spinning their wheels but in the final two episodes they got around to solving the mystery. The triumvirate spend a lot of time solving the red herrings. But it is enjoyable to watch. The characters are fun. And they have great cameos. I especially liked this year's super surprise guest. He was very funny.

Did I just power through all of S3 in one sitting?

Hi, my name is DM and I’m a videoholic.

Fun season. I enjoyed the recursive writing with the play/musical echoing the dynamics of the cast. Meryl was amusing as a hack actor. I’ve often said that she can’t really sing, that she’s a good enough actress that she just acts like she can sing and audiences believe her, but she sang quite well in this. Ashley, Matthew, & Mel were good additions. And the callbacks and Easter eggs were great, especially Steve’s comment about being able to solve a murder in 8 episodes. Very entertaining. Very bingeable.

I should’ve rewatched 100 yards tonight because I’ve got a review outlet now and a promise to uphold, but I bailed and watched this. It’s denial of my current writer’s block. But we’re letting go of Hulu soon so I must finish this show asap. 

Bloody Mabel FTW!

Finished season 4 in 3 sittings. Very enjoyable. The red herrings, cameos and callback made for a fun watch. Great cast chemistry. I’m done for season 5 whenever it comes out. We’re letting go of Hulu but I’ll consider picking it back up for a fifth season of OMitB. I was thoroughly entertained by it.

We got free Hulu (with ads of course) when we switched to the old folks plan at T-Mobile

Season 5 is upon us.

Season 5 is upon us.

yay!

And we are 4 episode in. It's feeling a bit forced at this point. Christop Waltz and Rene Zellweger are the big new additions. And Bobby Cannavale. And Tea Leone. And Diane Wiest. So, lots of new faces. It starts with the murder which points to some billionaires and a secret underneath the Arconia. Meryl Streep doesn't appear for quite awhile and it feels like she is slumming.

But it's entertaining and I do want to know who done it.

The FOMO is real

I never posted about this season. I found it to be weaker than the others. I still think the end of the previous season would have been a good final episode.
