Only Murders in the Building is an ingeniously crafted murder mystery with an impeccable script. The comedy shines through the lead actors Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. On paper, pairing Steve Martin and Martin Short with Selena Gomez might seem weird, but works brilliantly. Their chemistry is palpable from the start, and the camaraderie between their characters makes this worth watching from the get-go. Martin Short oozes with charisma and his wit and zeal as Oliver Putnam might give him an Emmy win. If there is an Emmy category for best trio, then Only Murders in the Building would take the top spot. What I admire the most is its capacity to seamlessly mesh individual plot lines together, and the ability to give the audience little nuggets of what's to come in each episode. The series manages to foreshadow the outcome and the eventual reveal in a sleek and bold manner. The storyboarding of the opening credits sequence and the overture intertwined with it pulls the viewer into the storyworld and entices them to keep watching. Whoever skips the opening credits sequence is not a true fan of the true crime podcast. Each episode is filled with an abundance of twists and turns. Every episode is immaculately crafted, high stakes driven, and offers the perfect blend of humor and mystery. Only Murders in the Building is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. Each episode leaves you wanting more. It keeps the viewer engaged and in a positive and upbeat mood. Plus, it is extremely addictive.

Final verdict: 10/10.
