The latter two of those are extremely foundational characters in the mythology of my childhood. The entire show centers around an unlikely trio of characters played expertly by Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. It is both a show for fans of the true-crime podcast genre, but also a show that pokes gentle fun at those same fans. Instead of being a mystery, a dark comedy, a crime drama, or a documentary on the creation of a podcast… it is all of these wrapped up into a quirky package. What makes Only Murders in the Building interesting is it has a self-aware quality to it.
I think honestly the attraction to these shows is less about the experience of watching them, but more about the experience of having the conversations for months after the fact positing our theories.

We’ve also been drawn into a number of Netflix series like Making a Murderer or The Staircase.

I actually got bit by Serial when I co-worker suggested the show, and caught up about halfway through the original run. When we take a long trip it is often our entertainment to throw on a podcast as we drive and have absolutely consumed shows like Serial and S Town while doing this. I think in part this is due to the fact that our taste patterns do not have a ton of overlap, and true crime is one of those topics we can always both agree on. I would not exactly call my wife and me true crime junkies, but we do consume quite a bit of it. A quick google produced a flood of “oh yeah I wanted to watch that” feelings however and here we are having consumed it over a few nights. So when my wife was hunting for suggestions of things to watch, and a friend of hers suggested this show… I had no recollection of it. Instead of remembering it was called Only Murders in the Building, I remembered it as “That Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez show”. It is one of those shows that I filed away in my brain not by name, but by the cast of actors. I have to be honest, I am very late to the punch here because this is a show that was the talk of the town… last year. I used to talk about the media I consume quite a bit but have not really in a while. Good Morning Friends! Over the weekend I wrapped up the series Only Murders in the Building and I thought this morning I would talk a bit about it.
