Community reviews for Only Murders in the Building, shown here with its season details.
Only murders in the building is a masterpiece and should be an example of how a comedy should be written, it explores detailed plots whilst being light and upbeat, it is perplexing and fascinating to see the unraveling storyline highlight amazingly placed plot points.
I don't know what all the hype is about. I had to stop watching by the third episode, I no longer cared about the plot or the characters. A serealistic, slow and badly written comedy. Truly one of the worst shows I've seen, and I've seen a lot. It's not common for me to drop at the beginning of the season (or at any point in the series). My advice is don't watch it.
To the people who say it’s terrible, please just go sleep! This is the best series I’ve probably ever watched!! And YES I have good taste and YES I’ve watched ALOT of series!!! 😂 1000/1000 for me!! So excited for season 4😍
