Watching Only Murders in The Building and The After Party should have me high, but while fun, they’re still far from what they were. Only Murders has already been mentioned earlier, the post is now about the Apple TV Plus series in an unbalanced second season.

We’ve already seen almost everyone suspected of having killed Edgar, except the most likely murderers. In the episode about Feng, my initial suspect, he makes use of technology (half recorded on an iPhone) and breaks into dramatic narrative. Yes, at the end of the episode I went back to square one of who might have killed poor Edgar.

As we discover in the Ulysses episode, Feng is his half-brother, who took him in after a traumatic passage through Afghanistan and whom Ulysses betrays by embarking on a romance with Vivian, his sister-in-law. Feng is annoying but a caring father and husband, the injustice of his grief is already obvious even before we confirm that he is in a financial bind, which could be a reason to kill his son-in-law. But not. In a series of situations that, instead of laughing, make us suffer with the tragic life of an ordinary person. Everything Feng does is to keep himself interesting for his wife, always failing. Yes, it’s the perfect suspect if it were a drama, but in a comedy?

Without advancing relations and forgetting the fact that everyone is ok to keep poor Edgar’s body in the room for hours before calling the police is inhumane. Isabel is the only one left, after all the episodes accusing Grace ends up “blaming” her and claiming she knows who killed her. Longing for Yasper only grows…
