"Only Murders In the Building" Season 3 delves into intriguing mysteries yet again, but this time, not without some notable shortcomings.

One aspect that marred the viewing experience was the portrayal of interactions with the Deaf character, Theo. It's evident that the show failed to conduct thorough research into how Deaf individuals converse. The countless instances of Mable turning her back to Theo, expecting him to understand her without clear lip movements, were a cringe-worthy oversight. Effective communication with Deaf individuals relies on exaggerated lip movements, which was notably absent here.

Furthermore, the performance of the character Mable left much to be desired. Whether it's due to apparent Botox or plastic surgery work, her lack of facial expressions became a significant distraction. Scenes involving her felt monotonous and lacked the emotional depth needed to fully engage the audience.

However, the saving grace of the season lies in the performances of Charles and Oliver. Their chemistry and charisma shine through, elevating the show. If not for the offensive representation of the Deaf community and Mable's limited facial expressions, this season had the potential to be a perfect 10. Instead, it stands at a middling 5 stars, held back by its missteps in these critical areas.
