Only Murders In The Building Season 2 Review: Still Fun, But A Lot More Stuffed
As one of the biggest breakout shows of 2021, Hulu's Only Murders in the Buildinghas some big shoes to fill going into season 2. From its hilarious approach to murder mysteries to its unique lead trio, the whodunnit was a standout for several reasons in its freshman run. Those reasons are still firmly in place for Only Murders in the Building season 2, though the new episodes (8 out of 10 of which were provided for review) are not without their growing pains. Still, those who enjoyed watching three unexpected friends investigating a murder around their spacious Upper West Side apartment building will likely still have a grand time watching what they get up to in season 2. Only Murders in the Building returns with much of what made season 1 so fun, yet also runs the risk of taking too much on for season 2.
Wasting no time, Only Murders in the Building season 2 picks up right where season 1 left off. Arconia Board President Bunny Folger (Jayne Houdyshell) has been murdered, and all signs point to Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) being the guilty party, particularly because she was found bloodied with Bunny's body. Her friends Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin) and Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) are also in the police's crosshairs, leaving them with no choice but to start up season 2 of their podcast in order to clear their names. As Mabel, Charles, and Oliver start digging into Bunny's murder, they learn a lot more about the Arconia than they ever expected to, even as they encounter both new and familiar faces along the way.
