OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding returns for a third season that is daring and different, but still as delightfully enjoyable as its previous outings; kaechops reviews:
its wonderful blend of fun and mystery without facing a sophomore slump like so many shows do in their second seasons. While the third season takes a decent-sized step away from the original tone of the show, the heart of theOne of the most fun things to see as a show progresses from season to season is the writing staff letting loose and allowing some of their wackier ideas to grace the screen.
While taking notes on the eight episodes given for review, I wrote something along the lines of “Meryl Streep, You Will Always Be Famous” about 20 times, and she immediately cemented her place on. Streep’s portrayal of Loretta Durkin—a down-on-her-luck actress who is set to get her big break in Oliver’s play—ranges from nutty to somber to gleeful and it’s such a joy to just watch her be there, let alone have a complex storyline that ties into the murder mystery at hand.
Really, the whole show seems like it’s a little less hinged than usual. There’s an air of silliness that has blown over this season, and even the smallest bits of ridiculousness are a great time. Unfortunately, quite a few of them are too spoiler-y to reveal here, but there are a few examples that we can mention. Linda Emond and Wesley Taylor’s mother/son producer team of Donna and Cliff DeMayo is somehow endlessly hilarious and cringeworthy in the best way possible.
Our favorite Olds aren’t out of the woods either. Charles’ self-sabotaging streak becomes more vibrant—consciouslysubconsciously—and though he’s working with Oliver on his play, the two could not be in more different places. Oliver’s need for success in the face of flop after Broadway flop gets in the way of everyone, including himself, and puts even more tension on the strain the trio is facing.
