Winter TV Finales - Only Murders in the Building - Season Two (Including a mild Binge of Season One)

A bit of a mixed blog series title for Only Murders in the Building.

Season two concluded late August, whilst season one I completely slept on in 2021 when it first aired. I also didn't have Disney+ last year, so maybe that explains it. So I in total binged all 20 season one plus season two episodes over the past few weeks. Avoiding spoilers from both season one and two.

So of course as usual no spoilers here.

The plot follows three strangers played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, with a shared interest in a true crime podcast. In the first season, after a suspicious death in their affluent Upper West Side apartment building, the three neighbours start their own podcast about their investigation.

In the second season, the trio themselves become suspects in the bloody murder of another building resident. 

Only Murders in the Building has received numerous accolades, including nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series and for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Martin and Short.

Not long ago the Hulu original was renewed for a third season.

With the Emmy's over now. The show was up against stiff competition, so potentially with a third season, the addition of Paul Rudd to the cast, maybe the series will take home an Emmy. 

I highly recommend this series. Selena Gomez with Short & Martin really works. For some weird reason it really works!

I enjoyed the comedy, the one-liners, the mystery, the residents of the building with so much murder and secrets.

If you have Disney+ add this to your watchlist now. Binge before season three lands in 2023. The past winter has really been all streaming services. Sadly the USA network channels have really dropped the ball with any quality US summer series in 2022.

With the Queen coverage being questioned, news and reality TV shows getting worse and worse, is network TV almost dead? Finally?
