Only Murders in the Building by Steve Martin
Review by Haadiya A., Youth Reviewer
"Only Murders in the Building" Season 1 is an absolute gem for any mystery-loving person! This show blends humour and suspense perfectly. The story follows three neighbours in a New York City apartment building who bond over their obsession with true crime podcasts. When a murder takes place in their own building, they decide to investigate, leading to a whirlwind of unexpected twists and turns.
The characters, played by the amazing Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, have fantastic chemistry and are incredibly relatable. It's refreshing to see a mix of generations coming together to solve a mystery, and their dynamic is both heartwarming and absolutely hilarious. My favourite character has to be Mable played by Selena Gomez. The storyline is absolutely perfect, it gives you a chance to solve the mystery along with the characters. The show is not just about solving a murder; it's about self-discovery and friendship. Disclaimer – the show is for a mature audience and rated 16+ on Disney, as there is a lot of use of swear words.
The suspense keeps you hooked from start to finish. As a teenager, I found the show to be a fun and engaging watch, with enough mystery and humour to keep me entertained. Whether you're into true crime or just enjoy a good laugh, "Only Murders in the Building" is a must-watch. Three seasons have been made so far, and I can't wait to watch season 2.
