Only Murders in the Building returned for a fifth season on Hulu this fall, and despite a new mystery, the show remains faithful to its tried-and-true murder mystery formula. The series follows Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) as a team of podcasters who investigate murders that occur in their New York City apartment building. The first episode sees Putnam, Savage, and Mora investigating Lester’s murder in a location where they’re not welcome: Lester’s funeral. A murder mystery series can’t reveal its hand too early, and Only Murders knows how to play its cards. As long as Only Murders has the comedic chemistry of Short, Martin, and Gomez to keep it fresh and exciting, the show’s murder mysteries are worth watching.
