Review of Only Murders in the Building




Astounding. Alas, S2/E10, felt as if writers missed the whole space ship. Out of all the historical references of theatre artists, to the most sought painter, architect, rags to riches, stories of old people fighting ageism for all genuine reasons, child becoming ghost of his own past; & directing on such a meticulous level giving vibes of 90s era, theatrical acts; the killer revealed was some lonely aspiring conversational podcast influencer taking care of dad!?

The first season was engaging. And so as the second until E10. With so many twists, from Oliver’s DNA report to Teddy’s connection to the new pretentious artist Alice dating Mable suddenly to Mable’s not recalling specific events to building’s secret passages to secret of a million dollar painting & a painting within a painting to Charles continued affair with Jan to why only one detective helping in its entirety to Doorman’s history; all ended up an aspiring podcast influencer mere being a real culprit, who sought what? An acknowledgment from a, Podcaster?

I anticipated the mastermind would’ve some past connection with the building or Bunny. Generational grudges or architect’s connection or maybe Rose’s painting or something else. Alas, with slow motion & tomato that irritated Cinda & everyone else, the last episode was a bit disappointing.

All said & done, Only Murders in the Building was worth watching. It’s an experience in series of fine artists, vibrant colours, witty dialogues and overall aesthetics.
