"Only Murders in the Building"

[Tracer]

This stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, on Hulu.

It landed on more than one critic's 'best' list. It's supposed to be a comedy, but I haven't cracked a smile yet. It would have been more successful as more zany and slapstick. As it is it's muddled and forced.

Those critics are seeing something that I don't.

1. I loved it.

2. I didn't get it either. And I usually love Martin and Short and Lane. I thought Selena Gomez

was really awful, and I didn't think the story was anything special.

3. I laughed a lot.

As a mystery, they did a lot of things well.

Not everyone is going to like everything the same, I guess.

5. Short and Martin made me laugh, but Gomez performed like a frozen mannequin.

The plot is bazaar, but unique, unpredictable and zany.

6. I loved it.

I thought it was very entertaining.

7. Looks like it's a split. I was kinda embarrassed for

Martin and Short. It was just… forced?

8. I don't get it either

and at 65, I'm probably in their demographic.

9. I loved it

Can't wait for the second season

10. I liked it but agree it could have been funnier.

maybe the comedy is meant for an older generation (like me) and falls flat with younger people?

there will be a season 2.

11. It grew on me

I feel each episode got better. I actually liked the Selena Gomez deadpan performance, at least that's my interpretation of her performance.

Peace
