Only Murders in the Building

Absolutely loved this show for the first two seasons, was such a fun comfort watch, perfect for autumn and also interesting and funny. Season 3 then was a bit off but I still enjoyed it. Season 4 was a trainwreck, it's likely they completely forgot the shows core and they turned it into something awful. Season 5 is back to its roots and I'm loving it! I only just started season 5 the other day because I thought I was done with it and now I'm caught up already. Hope there's a season 6.

Why is Selena Gomez in a show with a talented cast?? She just doesn't fit. She doesn't know how to act, her character is is so stiff with NO personality or emotion, and I can't stand the way she talks, she talks like her mouth has been wired shut! Also, you can hardly hear her! I feel sorry for Steve Martin & Martin Short, two great actors to have to work with someone that seems to put no effort into her character/acting. I'm, guessing she was cast in this show only because she has a huge fan base and most followed female singer on IG?? Why not give the role to someone more talented? A real comedic actress? This show could be so much better without Gomez.

I previously rated the show an 8, but i have had to lower the rating after season 3. I loved season 1 and 2, but I'm just not enjoying season 3 as much. The main characters seem to have different personalities.

The show in season 1 and 2 was warm, engaging and funny, but a lot of that is lost in season 3 somehow.

I personally don't really like the musical theme of season 3, but others appear to love it.

The reveals are obvious and easily guessed at the beginning, and aren't very interesting/twists.

The writing seems way less serious, as though they know it's a stupid premise so haven't put as much effort into the writing.

Overall I am disappointed with season 3, the ending certainly wasn't worth dragging out 10 episodes for. Would love to see the show carry on, more similarly to season 1.

I was actually surprised by how much I liked Only Murders in the Building. There's a reason that both seasons have been nominated and won so many awards. The cast (Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, Martin Short) and writing is what makes this show so special. Martin and Short play off one another like the legends they are and Gomez is a lot better actress than I expected. The three of them are just so likable and easy to root for in this series. This show was so good and every episode is so entertaining that I binged both seasons over the course of a weekend. It's a murder mystery show that has plenty of twists, turns and laughs. I'm looking forward to season 3 coming out soon. Season 3 should be the best yet with Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep added to the cast. Can't wait!

We all know that Steve Martin and Martin Short can combine to produce comedy gold, but who could have predicted that Steve Martin and Selena Gomez would have such incredible chemistry? Add in the wonderful Nathan Lane and now Sting (!) and after just 3 episodes I am completely hooked.
