I didn't know what to expect starting it but this show is awesome. 

I think this was the best ep of the season.  The scrabble game was great.  I love it when shows are brave and go out on a limb and try something different.  

 

I'm used to Nathan Lane in The Birdcage and Modern Family and all that - loving him as 

Spoiler

villain, maybe, and Theo's POV in this episode was awesome.

 

Excellent as usual.

So Amy Ryan is definitely the killer right?

 

Did you watch this week's episode?

At the very least, they're probably involved.  There's 2 episodes left, so chances are, we have met everyone who could possibly be involved.

Jane Lynch as Martin's double was pretty funny.

I've played Stravinsky's "Firebird"... but not as a bassoonist.

Love this show. It's got Sorkin worthy banter.

Just a guess - I keep thinking Bunny might have something to do with the murder. Who would have keys to all the apartments? Someone that could get in, do the deed - plus, she seems to want to get rid of certain people for their apartments. Then again it might be Jan, maybe she's the girl's mother that fell off the roof. Lot's of different possibilities and motives. Any thoughts?

That's an interesting idea. But if that were the case, wouldn't Jan want to kill Theo Dimus? She knows that Theo was the one that killed Zoe.

I don't think it's Jan. I think she was framed. I don't think they would reveal the "whodunnit" that early. That's gonna be the big reveal at the end of the last episode

The girls mother was banging Tim Kono? Then killed him for revenge?

Spoiler

So is it the first chair bassoonist? We know Tim was hooking up with someone, and there's a bassoon-cleaning...implement in the box of stuff Mabel and Steve were looking through. I guess he could've been seeing Jan, but that doesn't really make sense. I think maybe she lied to Charles about her position because she was embarrassed, or wanted to impress him. First chair bassoon girl has a boyfriend, so maybe Tim was threatening to tell him that they were seeing each other. And if this bitch is that crazy, she could see Jan as a threat to her chair and try to kill her to eliminate her as musical competition. 

None of that makes total sense though. Bassoon girl doesn't live in the building (I don't think), and having the killer turn out to be some rando at this point doesn't seem to fit the direction of the show. Remind me - what was Oscar's alibi? And did they check Oscar's father's alibi? He's the building's super, after all. A crime of passion would make sense for him, not because he and Tim were lovers but because of all the drama between them and how Tim was the reason Oscar unjustly went to jail.

 

The finale was a freaking delight.

The middle third might is one of the funniest things I've seen all year.

Got through the episode last night where they "solved" it and Nathan Lane was arrested, and then the tox report came out.

Yes, your first thought. 

Just watched the finale.

So who stabbed Jan? Did she do it to throw them off? I don't really buy it but the whole thing doesn't completely add up to me anyway.

She admitted it to Steve, and Selena found the knife in the air duct. 

 

After the freaking weird train-wreck of Squid Game, I needed this finale episode. Don't know if that made it better, but I loved the whole series and can't wait for season 2... "Only Murderers in the Building".

I wrote that... and if you say anything to the contrary, you'll be stocking the NPR fridge with Lacroix until you're 50.

Pretty solid setup for Season 2.

Well shit, I totally missed that. Thanks.

 

Excellent season finale. Steve Martin is a national treasure. 

Spoiler

The scenes where he's poisoned were gold. When he was strapped to the cart his facial expressions had me literally laughing out loud.

Yeah, the reveal that he's still in the chair mumbling nonsense when in his head he had stood up and was delivering this powerful speech cracked me up.

we are three episodes in.  overall, i like it.  but, Selena can't act for shit.  i guess maybe her character is supposed to be expressionless and speak in monotone.  if so, she's nailing it.  but it's clear she is out of her league in terms of acting chops.

this is our palette cleanser after an episode or 2 of Squid Game.

Watch their Colbert interview. She knows her strong and weak points. For Christ's sake she acting with 2 legitimate legends. I think she's nailing it.

I enjoyed watching Selena and felt she was really good in her part. As I’ve said, I don’t get the Selena hate, she was a good match with these legends. I can’t wait until season 2, because this season was great.

Her subtle deadpan expressions reacting to their stupidity was great. She was exactly what that character needed to be.

I thought she was fine, especially to contrast with the old guy badasses.

I’m watching it now for first time.  Marty short is playing the somber piano with the half chugged gut Milk and I’m crying.  I really like this show so far.  

the humor is so dark and subtle.  Everybody tries that but few every see it thru

 

No spoken dialogue (a la mister robot) episode is quite interesting.  And as a master stroke; advances the plot more than any other.  
 

really clever the three layers they’re working In the show/podcast.  
 

Shit, I’ll be through by sunset.  Dammit!

Finished it on Friday night. Loved it. Steve Martin and Marty Short are so great together.

Wife and I just finished it up.   Really, really fun show.   Can’t wait for the next chapter.   

Binged this instead of shoveling snow this weekend. How fun! Martin and Short put on a master class in physical comedy, Gomez was great as the sidekick, and the writing was flawless. Can’t wait for S2!
