We've been told a story, happens in one of the never expected places in the city, the Arconia, an upper-class residency that only has had a bunch of wealthy, -unsurprisingly, and mostly- old, boring residents, that know nearly anything about each others' lives. Which is a perfect start point for an unusual friendship to be formed: two wealthy (at least they used to be), old white men in their 70's (actually, one of them is in their early 60's) and a pretty, loner girl in her late 20's.

Along with the 'mostly' believable storytelling, some aspects occasionally get in the way of the series after a few episodes; making it hard for me to look at the story as serious or applicable to real-life, and returns these justified expectations that formed in the first few episodes upside down.

Over-caricatured characters that stretch boundaries of their characteristics even more, with every encounter they make with our trio, is not being helpful to this -out of the blue- murder mystery to be more believable or more genuine. It does not make the series worse but doesn't add up much to the tone they were trying to give. Twists, turns, and surprises are the main elements and the touchstones of murder mysteries, but I'd like them to be well-placed to the story, that doesn't show up just because the writers wanted them to be out, but more out of from a natural track. There were a lot of twists in the show, and most of them were not even the subject of being believable or not, no. They could've been seen as believable all day long, that was not the real problem with twists. They were believable, quite applicable most of the time, but the incidents which make these twists occur usually made me question the analytical and deductive skills of our main characters. (Going onto pieces of evidence to discover new leads every 3 episodes just to be in shock and go into a whole new direction was on the edge, and was hardly acceptable for my taste.)

And I know that a good twist -actually any twist- is hard to write. And the watchers, basically don't want any murder mystery to be solved with the first lead the detective, police, or a solver got his/her hand to. So, still a good job on the writers' part to make this story more intriguing and worth watching overall. It was fun to watch. 6/10

I came across this series by accident and what a positive surprise.
It's a series about three strangers who share a passion for solving the mystery of the death of one of their roommates in a New York City apartment building. As amateurs, whose background is in listening to podcasts about crime, they do it in a truly comical way.

Apparently it's best if you have no expectations, but this series entertains more and more with each episode. The concept itself is unique, but what makes it amazing is the acting of the duo Martin and Martin (Steve and Short). I laughed my ass off. Seriously, one of the best comedy show I saw in years.

Unfortunately, the female element of this trio, Selena Gomez, is completely inappropriate here and kind of spoils the effect. Especially when she opens her mouth. No emotions, no thrill, no acting. Nada. Zero. Pure wood. Every line is spoken the same way and my stool has more talent than this actress-wannabe. Someone else must have been responsible for casting her into this role. If it wasn't for her, this series would be one of the best of 2020. For me is nonetheless a 9.

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😍
