    Starts off well enough with likeable characters and funny-ish jokes. Sadly, it soon descends into silliness bordering on idiocy: I got to the Sting episode and the writing was so bad I couldn't finish it. Why obviously talented actors agree to take part in something so subpar is beyond my understanding.

    Like settling in your favorite easy chair in your most comfortable clothes, Only Murders In The Building, is the comfort food of comedies assembled by master chefs.

My only complaint is some of the obvious boomer versus millennial humor (older people don't understand smart phones!! ) coming so soon after the same themes in Hacks (another excellent comedy). Three episodes in and I am hooked, lined and sinkered.… Expand

    I like the chemistry between three actors and how they conceal their lies to each other. I see a lot of strugglings here and excited to see how they untangle things in upcoming episodes

    I love selena gomez but her acting post wizards of Waverly place has been consistently horrible, rigid and bland. She fails to portray a character but instead just reads her lines. The mystery is awfully predictable and their dynamic doesn't intrest me in anyway.

    This show had some great material, especially in the early episodes. Then they moved away from the comedy in the middle of the season and it was far less interesting. The show picked up again by the end. The show was amusing but the mystery was a bit second rate. Not a bad show just really didn't live up to the promise after the strong first episode.

    A fantastic amateur sleuth show that brings the Short & Martin comedy duo back in this well written and entertaining series.
    A show about friendship and lonliness as much as it's a murder mystery.

    This ten-episode charmer, streaming on Hulu, is a fine sendup of media culture, in particular the true-crime genre. ... No deep feelings are stirred, yet the laughs come steadily, especially because of Short, a master at embodying the helpless narcissism of Broadway’s show-biz denizens.

    Fitfully amusing. ... Series cocreator Steve Martin is the most endearing as Charles. ... Martin Short has the most fun. ... Selena Gomez deadpans effectively but often deadens the pace of an overlong misadventure that might have made a snappier movie. [13 - 26 Sep 2021, p.17]
