Only Murders in the Building is back and fans (raise your hand!) were delighted with the first two episodes. To keep the name that limits all criminal action in Manhattan to the luxury building on the Upper West Side, yes, the stage is literally set.

Let’s get straight to the point: the chemistry is perfect, the pressure is higher and we will have something great, without a doubt. There are more suspects – a whole cast – more familiar names and a not-so-obvious crime. Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) is a bit like Tim Kono: everyone wants him dead (including Charles (Steve Martin), apparently). We had the impression that he had been murdered in the theater, but no, the brief hope was just to have him kicking ass inside the Arconia. Yeah, remember Sting‘s apartment that had been sublet to Amy Schumer? I was with Ben. It’s officially back to the title-limiting podcast and series that destroys Upper West Side real estate life.

I’m tied with the OMITB writers: I got the first right, and I lost the second. This time I’ll be watching better to figure out who the killer is. We obviously suspect Charles (though unlikely) and Loretta (Meryl Streep), but any of the cast could have been. Although it was something from the first season, the producer is suspicious, as well as Ben’s assistant brother Dickie. But these are theories to be worked on.

Who killed Ben?
