Binge Watching Season 5 of "Only Murders in the Building"

I finally remembered my HULU password and was about to do some streaming tv, which I hadn't done since I've been back from my trip a month ago. Apparently they're dropping the episodes weekly, so now after Week 5 I'm all caught up with what's currently available. Season 5 is immensely better than Season 4 was. Season 4 was a train wreck that sucked. The show is about 3 tenants in a historic building in New York City, an unlikely trio, who like true crime podcasts and start one of their own after somebody gets murdered in their building. Then people keep getting murdered so they keep investigating and podcasting and getting into all sorts of mischief. I really like the show starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez.

The show is awesome. One of the best new shows I have seen in a long time. We are on the latest season, maybe that's 5? I don't know. But I did comment to the wife that Selena Gomez looks less attractive to me now that she's lost some weight. She was MUCH cuter when she was chunkier, but I like my women with some meat on them.

It's incredibly well done. Season 5 might be my favorite season so far. The comedic acting is superb.

@LooeyVille It really is. Great writing, and great performances. I was never a HUGE Steve Martin fan, but he's really good in this.

@porwest I agree, same here. There's something of a time problem in the current season that I want to discuss with you after you're caught up at least through Episode 5. What do they call that? Consistency? Continuity? Small flaw. Yes, I noticed Selena's weight loss too. At least she didn't get rail thin. She dresses interestingly on the show. Kind of vintage. But I can't help but wonder how she buys groceries (Mable) and clothes because she doesn't have a job. But wait, she got movie right money and maybe the podcast makes money?

I saw Only Murders when they were broadcasting that on ABC last year. It was fun to watch. I don't have Hulu though.
