Solo asesinatos en el edificio

This show is a joy to watch. It's witty and light-hearted, which is exactly what we need right now. Very reminiscent of Clue.

Some barely plausible characters end up starting a podcast on a murder that happens in the tower block they live in.

I loved the characters and I thought the casting was excellent - I had never heard of Selena Gomez but I loved her in this.

It is very light going with a scattering of jokes and mild drama.

There is the odd speciality episode like the one without any spoken dialogue.

Other reviewers have stated that, although alright, this is not as great as people make out.

Technically they are absolutely right - it isn't ground shattering stuff.

But as a fan of the likes of "Monk", "Jonathan Creek", "Rizzoli & Isles" it feels like there has not been anything new in the same vein for quite a while.

This is good, honest, light, sleuthy fun and the smile on my face as I watched every episode justifies my 9 star rating alone.

*EDIT SEASON 2* Season 2 starts of very shaky with some clumsy attempts at humour that don't land and Amy Schumer stomping through the middle of the plot like a bull at a tea party.

But by episode 3 it is all back on track Well done!

This type of lighthearted and quality comedy and show is hugely lacking in this day and age! I am really enjoying this show so far.. I think it Steve Martin and Martin Short are comedic geniuses and the banter throughout was very natural and fun. I was a bit skeptical at first because of the seemingly odd choice to cast Selena with these two classics, but it totally works! 👏

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.

So I just finished watching Only Murders in the Building and have to say I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I originally had no intent on watching because it looked like a show aimed for people 60+ years old. I was wrong. After seeing all the great reviews and all the award nominations for both seasons I finally gave in and watched it. It's a funny who dun it kind of show. It's about three strangers who all love true crime podcasts and then all of a sudden find themselves making one of their own from a murder in their own building. These three (Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short) start to put together the clues to find the murderer. The series has something for everyone. If you're looking for a show to just have a good time with and keep you entertained then give this a try. It's just a fun show that you can binge over a few days.
