only murders in the building

[seventhe]

So I actually went into Only Murders In The Building expecting to not be entertained. I mean, Old White Guy comedy really is not my thing, and while the word murder won me over for trying it, I was expecting something cringe, boring, and predictable. Instead I found it a quirky, funny, entertaining show where I only guessed the killer 2 episodes early.

It was incredibly enjoyable. I think because Steve Martin and Martin Sheen were both the butt of the “joke” enough times without making it all about their comedy — but the show also managed to mix in some deep sadness and poignant statements about relationships alongside a truly enjoyable murder mystery and true crime podcast type setup.

No more in the entry; spoilers may be in the comments. Has anyone else watched it? I actually recommend it for a nice little bite of feelings!

Yes! I also enjoyed it way more than I expected. The three leads had incredible chemistry. I'm so excited that they figured out a way to make another season.
