Only Murders in the Building - Adaptation / Blow-Up

More suspects are crossed of the list. After quickly disposing of Bev (Molly Shannon), who ended the previous episode holding the podcasters at gun point, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) turn their attention to the movie looking for new suspects. In “Adaptation” they also dismiss the screenwriter (Jin Ha) who was never much of a suspect but through that interaction they begin to take a closer look at the Brothers Sisters (Catherine Cohen and Siena Werber) who they discover have a connection to one of the Westies and the mysterious Dudenoff (Griffin Dunne).

Murder in a Small Town - The Suspect

Sometimes you get more than you expect, and that was the case for me in sitting down to watch the opening episode of Murder in a Small Town which comes off a bit more like a TV-movie than the first episode of a series. Into the sleepy coastal town of Gibsons, British Columbia, we get a couple of newcomers in Chief of Police Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland) and the even more recently arrived Corporal Edwina Yen (Mya Lowe). The notable members of the police force are rounded out by the notably less-talented Sergeant Sid Sokolowski (Aaron Douglas). And, as the title of the show suggests, into the sleepy town comes murder.

The investigation into Sazz‘s (Jane Lynch) murder leads Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) to a stunt man bar which Sazz visited before her death. While it doesn’t offer new clues to his friends murder, spending some time with the stunt people does bring Charles a sense of peace and help him find an old memory concerning his friend’s retirement dream which leads to an entirely different kind of confrontation at the end of the episode.

Only Murders in the Building - Gates of Heaven / Two for the Road

The second and third episodes of the new season deal with Charles (Steve Martin) coming to terms with the murder of Sazz (Jane Lynch, who appears as a ghost only Charles can see working through his grief), and the trio beginning an investigation into her murder starting with the residents across the courtyard in the less-prestigious West tower of the Arconia. The suspects include the eyepatched Vince (Richard Kind), the Christmas-obsessed Rudy (Kumail Nanjiani), and the family of Alfonso (Desmin Borges), Inez (Daphne Rubin-Vega), and Ana (Lilian Rebelo).
