Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) Yet far from turning stale, this is one of the strongest series yet, largely because show runners Martin and John Hoffmann lean further into the murder-mystery side of things with deadly intent. Sep 11, 2025 Full Review G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle The series likely will never reach the heights of the Broadway-set Season 3, which introduced Streep to the main cast. This season, like last year’s Hollywood-set Season 4, operates more like comfort food. Rated: 3/4 Sep 10, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com It's comfort food, something that goes down easily through a blend of breakneck plotting—there’s a new twist every episode—and remarkable starpower. Could it be better? Sure. But sometimes, good enough will do. Sep 10, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy As the ensemble continues to explore what ‘in the building’ really means, a host of very talented and overqualified guest stars once again pack in for another very clever, and still fresh season. Rated: 82/100 Nov 1, 2025 Full Review Hannah Brown Jerusalem Post Good if you just want to watch something fun and not terribly realistic. The fifth season sticks pretty much to the show’s formula. Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Ethan Dayton That Shelf Overall, Only Murders in the Building remains hard to resist, entirely due to the charming central performances. Let’s hope that if Season Five doesn’t deliver, Season Six will evolve and give these great characters stories that do them justice. Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
