Season 4 Review:
“Only Murders” has become comforting in its rhythms. The writers have a working formula, and they use that formula well. But I’m really not watching for the mystery anymore — even though there are plenty of twists and turns this season. I’m watching to see who pops up next and how much they can make me giggle.

Season 4 Review:
At this point Only Murders In The Building rides on the chemistry among Martin, Short and Gomez, and in Season 4, that chemistry is well-established. We just hope that Charles, Mabel and Oliver are as much fun running around Hollywood solving murders as they are running around New York.

Season 3 Review:
Only Murders is more a team effort, and the new season struggles at times with a split focus between putting on a show and solving a crime. The backstage shenanigans are great fun, though, and the guest casting raises to a new level. [14 Aug - 3 Sep 2023, p.6]

Season 3 Review:
There are just certain parts of the entertainment experience missing in Season Three, which is strange to say given how much fun its wacky musical numbers can be. Mostly by its own design, it's just not as funny, and it’s not heartbreaking as its reflection-heavy mood wants to be.

Season 3 Review:
If the new season isn’t as funny as it should be — don’t get me started on various characters brought back from earlier seasons with diminishing returns — and it isn’t as mysterious as it could be, why is it still entertaining enough for a tepid recommendation? Because, as I said up top, it plays effectively as drama.

Season 2 Review:
This season sends their investigation in many different directions, none of which adequately gel enough on a first pass to make the whodunit's mechanics the season's main talking point. ... If you missed this show more for sentimental reasons as opposed to the sleuthing... oh baby, does it feel wonderful.

Season 2 Review:
If what you want from “Only Murders” is to watch its characters do more of the same things that made you laugh the first time around, then the new season is a good time. But — like many of TV’s attempts to turn what felt like a completed story into a multi-season saga — it does not send its investigation in a whole new direction.

Season 4 Review:
“Only Murders” Season 4 is still fun. It’s still funny. It’s still well-made and obviously well-acted. It’s even smart enough to steer attention back to our original trio in a way that leaves no doubt who we’re meant to care about the most. It’s just a little too enamored by everyone it can cast to realize maybe it would be better not to cast everyone just because it can.

Season 4 Review:
At its core, it’s two veteran comic actors having a great time, and Selena Gomez happy, comfortable, and loving every minute of it. A year from now, I’ll probably be back reading this very text trying to jog my own memory about where we left off and wondering just how much juice Only Murders has left. And then I’ll tune in happily for another season.

Season 3 Review:
It’s not that Season 3 of Only Murders is anything close to bad — it’s just that they’ve shown us in previous seasons how great this concept, and the chemistry within, can be. By separating the cast as much as the show does, a touch of that magic is missing. Even so, we have a murder to solve, people, and we do have a bright new crime scene to explore. The show goes on, and this show is still worth tuning in for.

Season 1 Review:
It’s disappointing that they sometimes feel constrained by the writing that forces them to repeat the same character beats since they’re capable of so much more, but there are just enough times that they break through their confines and produce genuine, character-driven laughs. Every episode of “Only Murders in the Building” has just enough unexpected humor to keep it moving.
