"Only Murders in the Building" is trying to ride the relatively recent booming fascination with True Crime stories, specifically those told through the audio format. I did enjoy the first few episodes, the surprises and twists were well timed and kept me engaged.... And then the entire middle of the season slowed way down and I got bored.

Steve Martin carried the show, he did a great job and seemed to be having a blast in his role. Selena Gomez was enjoyable to watch as the New York Millennial, but goodness does she have a monotone voice (I'll never know how she's such a great singer with a talking voice that is as flat as Kansas). Finally, Martin Short... perhaps he was doing an excellent job - perhaps his instructions were "be the most annoying neighbor you can think of, so annoying that you even irk the audience." But either way, I did not enjoy him or his character in the show.

I'll stick around for a couple episodes of season 2. Or maybe I'll just listen to a True Crime podcast.
