Only Murders In The Building -- on Hulu

Caaareful Shopper — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 13:01:18 GMT

Anyone watching the new Hulu murder mystery series, Only Murders in the Building?

It stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. When I first read about this show, I thought, Selena Gomez????? But they are a fantastic trio for this mystery-comedy-drama.

It premiered this month (it may have started on August 31, actually) with four half-hour shows. But now it's in it's regular one show a week roll-out.

I love it! Sort of a grown up Hardy Boys meets Murder She Wrote.

Nice list of surprise guest stars so far -- Tina Fey, Sting.

This and Jungle Cruise are the only 2 good things advertised that look good all year.

@Caaareful Shopper I haven't seen it, but it's in my ever growing watch list. It looks fun. I love a good murder mystery and Steve Martin and Martin Short...what's not to love?

Does anyone know if you can watch this one on the basic HULU (with commercials ) ?--lowest priced one?

@okaywitheasypay I'm pretty sure that's what I have -- yes.

I am really loving this! There’s something so effortless about Steve Martin and Martin Short - it may sound corny, but they are just fun to watch. In fact, my only complaint is Tina Fey - her character is acting like a…well, a character. She could be in an SNL skit. But, she’s not really in it much at all and has little to do with the story. I think Selena is holding her own pretty well among these pretty iconic stars - can’t wait to find out more about Mabel.

We are really enjoying this show as well. And has anyone noticed that Steve Martin looks the same as he did 10 or 20 years ago?

This show is such a nice break from the typical network dramas that are so predictable and really boring, or comedies that have silly laugh tracks that I don't watch because I just don't think they are funny.

Hope Hulu produces more shows like this.

I like the show but it moves slowly. I don't care for Selena's acting. I think they wanted younger people to watch this show. I think Sting is hilarious and his storyline. I was surprised they made Selena one of the Executive Producers on the show.

i"m really enjoying it. Always a fan of Steve Martin & Martin Short. Besides hearing about Selena Gomez in a celebritiy gossip TMZ type way, I've never seen her work. She's actually quite funny and fits in well with these 2 well-seasoned comedic talents. At first, I thought "here we go a couple of old guys with the young pretty actress -- how trite," but they actually make a good team, not in a sleazy sort of way, more as a granddaughter hanging with her elders. Very cute!

I agree-just different and enjoyable

@Caaareful Shopper & @ciao_bella ty. I signed up for the hulu free trial. I had subscribed years ago before we had improved wifi and had trouble with interuptions . It seems to be going alright now. I searched through the content and it seems to offer more now. I will probably keep it at $6.99 monthly.

I have watched about 2 1/2 of these shows. I am enjoying it. Something a little different. I enjoy the stories and as an extra I love the buildings. I have always been a Steve Martin fan and enjoyed him with Martin Short. I think Selena Gomez is good also.

A second season was announced so keep an eye out. It makes sense after the finale.

Enjoyed this very much. Considering Mabel was in with Kono 10 years ago, it makes sense her character would be involved.

I think Selena Gomez did an excellent job and her character fit the plot. Her dry delivery countered Martin and Short.

She has also been an exec. producer (13 Reasons Why).

Yes, I signed up for a free one month trial with Hulu and am enjoying this series very much!...Steve Martin and Martin Short are hilarious, as always, and it's great seeing them together in this wonderful, lighthearted, entertaining series!...I agree that Selena Gomez adds very nicely to the trio also.

I love the cameo surprises too!...Delightful series!

I loved this show! This show is so interesting on so many levels. The murder mystery is only part of the fun. Watching the characters become friends and their interactions with the other people of the building is so fun. It is very insider NYC though with lots of references to particularly living in that city. I enjoyed the show because I was happy to see that two of the main characters were older-not young and hip people who I am quite tired of watching on TV.

I love this show but someone needs to teach Selena Gomez how to make more than one tone with her mouth. I feel like my computer is talking to me when she speaks.

The second season premieres Tuesday June 28, I'm looking forward to it.

I really enjoyed the first season. Hopefully the second season will be just as good.
