Only Murders in the Building

They just announced the show will get a second season.

I agree. That was fun.

Actually, I do not find that so surprising. She was just a teenage kid, and the Martins are quite self-involved. They would only hear a gossip about a kid dying, and wouldn’t remember the names of the other kids involved, and certainly wouldn’t recognize the adult version of the kids years later. It is believable the son, being of roughly the same age, would know those details.

What did Martin Short’s character say about losing his license? I thought it was that he lost it 25 years previously. And yet, he’s been paying all that time to keep that car in the building garage. No wonder he’s broke.

Yes he said his license expired 25 years ago.

Now it’s been explained. Charles was going through his Prednisone year.

I’ve really been enjoying this show, I’m not a huge Short or Gomez fan but they both do a great job in this. Steve Martin as usual does a great job playing the straight man.

Enjoying it greatly through 4 episodes so far–interesting supporting cast: Tina Fey and Sting mentioned above, but also Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan.

I’m really enjoying Martin Short in this. He is playing a very Martin Short character. Or he’s playing himself I don’t know. Such a fucking goof and I love it.

Actually I don’t like the serious scenes with his son. Too serious for this character. But bravo for giving him depth!

I have watched 4 episodes and I don’t care how Tim Kono died. Selena Gomez is a horrible actor. Steve Martin is just there. Martin Short is wonderful but he can’t carry the show for me. I doubt I will watch the rest of the episodes.

I think he’s sampling heavliy from his Jiminy Glick character, a talk show host who routinely insults his guests.

Yeah, the switching into deep drama is a bit jarring. The first time they did it in an early episode I was thinking, “That didn’t actually work as well as you think it did.” But I accepted that it was part of how they are telling this story.

Lots happened in the deafisode, but I found the gimmick annoying. The main characters were silent in ways that were completely contrived and out of character for them.

The technique and incorporating the deafness into the episode was very well done, but I found it annoying because I was trying to play a game at the same time, one that doesn’t need a lot of attention, and I didn’t like having to keep my eyes glued to the tiny window. and I couldn’t read half the text.

I love the show. It’s been picked up for a second season.

Yeah, I think stuff like that is just arrogance on a writer’s part who thinks he is the next Billy Shakespeare. There are limited episodes in these new series anyways. Make the most of them and don’t be so cutesy.

Splenda: probably not a sponsor.

One thing that’s confirmed, Nathan Lane is a really good actor.

I thought the (almost) silent episode was pretty well done but at the same time I also found it somewhat annoying. James Caverly is very good in the role.

Too many things were revealed in this episode. There are 3 left. I did the math. Tim Kono was not murdered by either Dimas. There will be more twists.

If Jan was hit, the implication was it was someone in the room with them all. Or it was cat guy.

That seems to be where they are leading us (for the moment).

If NYE dead girl lived in the building before she… well the deli kid didn’t quite murder her but it was more manslaughtery… so before she died she lived there. Might there be more family looking for revenge in the building?
