Only Murders In The Building on Hulu

Love thy neighbor, unless they are a murderer

By: Anthony Vystoropski

This new true crime series on Hulu is one to pay attention to. A murder mystery that takes place in the beautiful New York City­­—more specifically, the Arconia, with its luxurious condominiums. It seems as though our three investigators of this murder mystery have nothing in common, simply living their lives at the Arconia. Except on the night of the fire alarm in the building. Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin) are all brought together by a podcast entitled “All is Not OK in Oklahoma.” The comedic tit-for-tat between our three investigators is a nice balance between the eventful findings of who committed the murder while stirring up thoughts and laughs.

Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) uses insight and personal stories alongside reflection to help her. Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) uses his director background to help him as though it was his show in the making. Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin) uses his time as an actor on the TV show “Brazzos” as a detective to reason and think as one. 

One does not have to be a true crime buff to watch this series because it is light and comedic, but it still pulls you in with the twists and turns as well, as some of the dark and deep reflections help to give insight into the characters and their actions. Each of the three protagonists have their own method of trying to crack the murder in the building that occurred on the night of the fire alarm.
