ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING SEASON 4 REVIEW
ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING has been highly praised by critics and audiences, or at least the first season of the series that came out this year. The show is engaged in continuity from the previous seasons and remains cute as ever, though the character development could be experienced. The aspects of identity crisis are evident when Charles contemplates on what Sazz meant to him resulting to compelling moments of reflection. Again in Oliver we see additional layer of insecurity about his girlfriend Loretta turning into a famous pop star. At the same time, the conflict of Mabel who tries not to be considered as an aimless girl adds a touch of reality to the series.
This season is not about the true-crine podcast as much as it is about the transformation of the main characters, yet the humor remains. It is feasible to sustain an element of novelty as well as to tap into a deeper range of emotions concerning the roles played by the cast members. Starting with Sazz’s evil twin plot all the way to Hollywood parody of making a film based on Beth’s life, the show continues to successfully juggle comedy, drama, and self-reflection.
Only Murders In The Building returns to the Arconia as Season 4 brings bigger twists, more outrageous personalities and the wit which gave ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING its deserved fame.
