Only Murders In The Building - (Disney+/Starz)

[JonChalk]

No Disney+ thread (or previous OMITB thread) that I could see, so standalone one for this.

This is so much better than its headline cast Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selen Gomez would lead you to believe - they are all really good in this.

Light-hearted murder-mystery comedy, if you like that sort of thing.

Just started watching this, it's really good.
Gets good reviews on imbd and other sites

Really enjoyed the first season

Didn’t think I would enjoy it but after 15 mins I was hooked.

Season 2 in work and due mid this year, though no official announcement yet.

If you've only just started S1, trust me, it only gets better as it develops.

[anonymous-user]

Great news, I absolutely loved S1.

[JonChalk]

Season 2 trailer - been out a few weeks, but I missed it.

Starts 28th June.

Really looking forward to this.

well just started watching this and finding it quite interesting/surprising

Season 2 continuing in the same vein as season 1 with some new characters, Amy Schumer is actually decent as well.

Watched the first 2 episodes.
Cara Delevingne seems to have become a boy now however there is quite a nice scene in the second episode involving her and Mabel.

Nothing amazing but comforting like a mug of hot chocolate on a cold winters day is how I'd describe this programme.

She suits the quirkiness of the show.

Series 3 is available from tomorrow. Meryl Streep joins the show.

[DeejRC]

Watched the first 2 series and we just started watching S3.
Cracking show

Found it an absolute snorefest although will admit to tapping out after two episodes. Woeful. Amazing, and heartening the way people have such differing opinions.

Season 3 seems to have gone off the boil compared to the other two. Definitely not holding my attention as much.

The characters seems to have become over the top versions of themselves with Steve Martin looking more dishevelled as the season goes on.

[milfordkong]

Yeah wasn't sure if it was me, despite the excellent new guest stars I haven't been anywhere near as gripped by Season 3 - I binged the first 2 seasons though so i'm not sure if waiting for a new episode each week just takes me out of it and has me less invested.

Definitely: more sweary too. Don't get me wrong: very elderly people being absolutely foul mouthed is inherently funny, but it's being ladled on with a shovel this series. Guest stars (esp last night, no spoiler) are utterly superb though.

Seems to be a programme that you either love or hate and there’s no in between.

My wife absolutely loves it whereas I’m totally nonplussed. Just don’t get it at all. Doesn’t seem to be serious yet it’s also not funny in the slightest. Takes all sorts so suppose.

[BobToc]

There’s something for everyone, isn’t there? We really enjoyed the first two seasons and after three episodes of the third we’re still on board. Updates to follow!

The first episode of series 3 illustrated just how amazing meryl streep is.

It may sound bonkers for such a daft role, but that transformation on stage was something else, and her accents at the table read were hilarious.
