Only Murders In The Building season two

Steve Martin and John Hoffman’s comedy mystery Only Murders In The Building returns after season one which could have been self-contained apart from the first and last five minutes, and quickly gets the gang back together but now as murder suspects, which they handle about as well as you might expect.

“Second seasons are tough, you know?”

Oliver, not actually winking at the camera

Season two trailer which shows bits from episodes past the first two, which are now on Disney+ Star in the UK. I believe Hulu starts with both in the US as well, so we shouldn’t be too far off in releases.

The first episode “Persons Of Interest” introduces Cara Delavigne as a mysterious artist and Amy Schumer as Amy Schumer, taking over Sting’s apartment, while the second episode “Framed” brings in Shirley MacLaine as Bunny’s mother..

It’s consistently funny, charming, occasionally whimsical and sometimes naturally gloomy. I have no idea what’s going on yet, but I suspect the cliffhanger of episode two won’t provide all the answers because (a) it’s only episode two so too early for a witness to explain everything and (b)...

... the witness is a parrot.

“The Last Day Of Bunny Folger” adds a stronger note of melancholy, humanising the victim, people to be mourned and missed.

“Don’t let yourself only love one thing.”

“Here’s Looking At You” introduced Charles’s lovely not-quite-stepdaughter Lucy, more secret passages, and a top 100 hit in Germany in 1989.

Season 3 confirmation from our heroes.

A Son Of Sam party game is in questionable taste, especially in the flashback 70s.

And they’re not wrong about Iran-Contra.

Oliver is right about glitter. I know this based on different social situations.

“Hello Darkness” looks at a theory, nods back to a previously suggested motive, and features an extremely odd reference to a great romantic moment in cinema.
