Only Murders in the Building

If you’re looking for a terrific streaming series to watch, I recommend ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. It’s a sparklingly good show available on Hulu.

It’s not just a good mystery. It’s hilarious, too. And, if you’re a New Yorker, or have always wanted to be one, it’s jam-packed with one wacky New York character after another. The jerky therapist, the loudmouth condo president, the deli owner, delightfully played by Nathan Lane, the “cat man” – and more – they all live in the building and each one is played by a spot-on actor.

Meanwhile, the story starts when three strangers who live in the building get into the elevator and are joined by a fourth guy – who is murdered a few minutes later.

The three strangers – the brilliant trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez – band together to try and solve the mystery of just what happened. They also start a podcast about it which sometimes does more harm than good…

I don’t want to say anything more or it will spoil all of the fun. But I will say this. I rejoiced when I heard that ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING has been renewed for a second season! I can’t wait already.
