Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery

I'm a huge fan of Arnett and Bateman, and gave a perfect 10 to the original series because it absolutely cracked me up at every turn, specifically Conan, Marshawn Lynch, and Kumail Nanjiani.

I didn't laugh quite as much in this one, and I think maybe part of it was the format of having 3 'detectives' at once. Bateman had some hilarious scenes before Maya Rudolph showed up, and then I think it just got too... complex. They couldn't really play off of each other.

Don't get me wrong, Rudolph is great, particularly in Idiocracy and Brooklyn 99, but in terms of creative improv she was kind of a dud. Didn't really laugh much at anything she did.

And then for some dumb reason they brought in Pete Davidson for the last 10 minutes, who I still to this day struggle to see why anyone thinks is funny. Just basically came in and messed the whole thing up. Truly the Britta of the comedy universe.

Started off great, ended with a fizzle. I sort of wish that the guest stars would have tried a bit more and gotten more into it. I've seen dozens of live improv shows and it's easy to tell when people are dialing it in.

And he seems like a chill guy, but for the love of Pete, no more Davidson.

If you are a fan of Improv and The Murderville series you will fall right in line (unscripted) and enjoy this short series. If Escape Rooms were to turn into improv style puzzle this will be it! It's interactive, funny and quick on your feet.

If you have not seen Murderville or a fan of improv, watch this episode because it's pure comedy and it's less than an hour ( 52 minutes).

And if you do not like it, just can make up the 52 minutes that you lost by scrolling through your phone for hours.

Will Arnett and Jason Bateman are great, I sense some Arrested Development character feel on their improv. Maya Rudolph was her Saturday night live self. So Watch Murderville and Who Killed Santa and trust me you will not regret it.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett) takes on Jason Bateman as his new trainee. They go to the mayor's office party. The lights go out and Santa is murdered. Johnny Blaze (Sean Hayes) is the volunteer Santa Claus. Pete Davidson and Maya Rudolph later join as more trainees.

It's stupid fun. Bateman, Rudolph, and Davidson are all kept in the dark with the script. They are essentially doing improv while Will Arnett throws comedic roadblocks in their way. Bateman is a sarcastic b and he gives as good as he takes. Sean Hayes is the one who cannot stop laughing. He is a giggle machine. Rudolph is as quick as anyone else. It's nice for these guys to have some stupid fun.

Arnette was born to do this show. He seems like he could do this in his sleep, he is so natural at it.

This was probably the mist fun episode of the series. And partnering up Bateman and Rudolph was fun due to seeing them bounce off of each other instead of being left alone.

I was like an excited kid watching this because it was the first time in a long while that I just shut my brain off and had fun for an hour. It is just stupid, silly fun.

And it would have been perfect except for Pete Davidson showing up last minute. My constant grin literally sunk when he showed up. I'm sick of seeing his face. His 15 minutes really should be up by now. I'm tired of seeing someone who isn't funny, and just kills time with random laughing instead of being professional, getting so many opportunities. HE'S NOT FUNNY and he sucks at everything. Let him go away.

I'll watch anything with Jason Bateman in it and I was total unaware of the series. I was a bit confused why it was a little clunky at first so I paused and looked it up to then realized it was improv.

I finished it and actually liked it. However, I went back and binged the series to get a good idea what I was watching, and then watched this one again, and loved it!

Once you realize they are basically clueless, you can enjoy the reactions.

You have to just understand what it is first.

I feel like some of the low ratings were either because they were confused like I was or don't enjoy this type of comedy.

You're not rating an Oscar genre movie or even a typical comedy. You're watching sketch and should probably just take it for what it is.
