When a grisly death occurs inside their exclusive Upper West Side apartment building, the trio suspects murder and employs their precise knowledge of true crime to investigate the truth.

Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) It’s very funny about crime podcasting itself, with its meandering storytelling and self-obsession. Jul 5, 2022 Full Review Barry Divola Sydney Morning Herald There are plenty of laughs -- not least in the finale where Martin does a phenomenal stretch of physical comedy -- but there's real heart to the story, too. Jan 11, 2022 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Steve Martin, whose career path has intersected television since before he was a writer and an occasional presence on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, has in his mid-70s co-created a splendidly funny, involving and one might even say youthful series. Dec 13, 2021 Full Review Jai Arjun Singh Firstpost Ultimately this gently funny series is about three people embracing their own messes, and finding themselves...or a version of themselves... Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Bree Fowler CNET The plot takes a handful of twists and turns over the 10-episode season. If you figure out who did it before the characters do (I did), just sit back and enjoy the ride... Mar 30, 2023 Full Review Annie Banks Chuck Load of Comics Only Murders in the Building takes no time to slow down while revolving around a slow-burning plot, topping each episode off with a cliffhanger that needs to be satisfied by a binge of the entire season. Rated: 9/10 Feb 24, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

James F Its all-star cast proves its worth with a blend of mystery and humor. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Taiga B The trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez is absolutely amazing. They have great chemistry with each other, making it a very enjoyable watch. The mix of crime, mystery, suspense and comedy is done to perfection. You find yourself always trying to guess the murder, changing your opinion as more clues are found as the episodes go along. You really start to get attached with the characters and you feel for them. The acting is fantastic and I absolutely love the music. The music works so well with the setting and really puts you into the spot of these three podcasters. This is possibly the best TV show that's come out in the past couple years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Patrice T Who would have thought this would be a wonderful TV show. The two Steven's coming together. I really enjoyed it. Such a silly and funny show. Worth the watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review E P Es increíble!!!!!
