While watching Only Murders in the Building, a new whodunnit on Hulu, you may find yourself with two main questions. The first: Who killed Tim Kono (Julian Cihi), the prickliest resident of the Upper West Side's Arconia apartment complex? And the second: Are his neighbors, Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles Haden-Savage (Steve Martin), and Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), really capable of finding out?
The first three episodes of Only Murders of the Building premiered on Hulu on Tuesday, August 31, with the rest of the 10-episode miniseries's installments dropping weekly—a bit like the true crime podcast the show's trio is making about Tim Kono's death, no?
For its spot-on satirical tone and Knives Out-meets-Upper West Side aesthetic, Only Murders has quickly racked up a fanbase. And that's not even mentioning its legendary cast: The series reunites longtime collaborators and friends Martin and Short, who play an actor famous for his role as a detective and an out-of-work Broadway director, respectively. Gomez, on her end, shines in the part of an astute millennial outsider. The show also features guest appearances from Tina Fey, Nathan Lane, and Sting—giving Mabel a chance to rhapsodize on the admittedly creepy undertones of The Police hit "Every Breath You take."
Given all these perks, you may find yourself wondering, "When is the next episode because I need to know what the inside of an Upper West Side luxury building looks like, OK?" And that's perfectly understandable—we wondered the same thing.
