Only Murders in the Building

“Cozy whodunit with a Broadway heart.”
Three strangers living in a glamorous New York apartment building discover they share a love for true crime podcasts. When a real murder happens inside their building, they decide to investigate it themselves — turning their amateur sleuthing into a wildly entertaining podcast of their own.
Only Murders in the Building is the television equivalent of a warm blanket and a cup of tea — charming, clever, and impossible not to love. It takes a murder mystery and somehow makes it feel cosy, turning a grim investigation into a delightful story about friendship, finding your people, and discovering that you're never too old for a new adventure.
The magic comes from the chemistry between Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Their unlikely friendship is the heart of the show, with each bringing a completely different energy that somehow fits perfectly together. The humour is sharp, the mysteries are genuinely fun to solve, and the Arconia itself feels like a character with its own secrets.
Yes, there are murders, but the real joy of Only Murders in the Building is watching three lonely people become a little family. It's wholesome without being cheesy, funny without trying too hard, and addictive in the best possible way.
A cosy crime mystery with a huge heart — the kind of show that leaves you smiling when the credits roll and immediately reaching for the next episode.
