How Many Episodes To Only Murders In The Building

Okay, let's talk Only Murders in the Building. We all love it, right? But I have a confession. Maybe... just maybe... there are too many episodes per season?

Hear Me Out!

Don't get me wrong! I adore Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Their chemistry is pure gold. Each episode is witty and keeps you guessing.

But is it just me, or do things sometimes...drag? Especially towards the middle? I start feeling like Oliver's dips are going to solve the murder before the trio does.

The Perfect Crime Show Formula

Ten episodes seems to be the standard now. Netflix, Hulu, everyone's doing it. But does it always work?

I think Only Murders could be even snappier. Think of those amazing British mysteries. Like, three episodes and BAM! Case closed!

Imagine a super-tight, seven-episode season. No filler. Just pure, unadulterated Arconia-based mystery goodness.

The Mid-Season Slump

Let's be honest, some episodes feel like they're stretching the story. Introducing new characters that disappear after one scene? Red herrings that lead nowhere?

These could be cut to keep the story moving. Keeps things exciting and less of a commitment to watch the next episode.

I would rather have a shorter season, then waiting a week to watch an episode that is boring.

Quality Over Quantity (Always!)

We want a tightly-plotted season with a killer (pun intended!) ending. Not a leisurely stroll through the Upper West Side.

Maybe fewer subplots? Or resolve them faster? Let's focus on the main mystery. More Mabel kicking butt, less Oliver struggling with his son. (Love you, Oliver, but time is of the essence!).

Think about it! Shorter season, more impact. Every scene matters. No wasted moments!

My Unpopular Opinion?

Okay, I'll say it. Eight episodes. Maybe even seven. A perfectly paced season of Only Murders bliss.

We get the twists, the turns, the witty banter. But without the feeling that the writers are scrambling for ideas.

Imagine the suspense! The anticipation! Each episode a crucial piece of the puzzle.

The Future of Arconia Mysteries

Look, I'm still watching every season. I'm hooked! But I can't help but think about the possibilities.

Think of the cliffhangers at the end of each of the episodes! Every episode would leave us screaming.

Ultimately, it's about maximizing the show's potential. I want Only Murders in the Building to be legendary.

So, Am I Alone?

Am I the only one who thinks less is more? Or are there other Arconia residents who feel the same way?

Let me know your thoughts! Maybe I'm just impatient. Or maybe I'm onto something!

Either way, I'll be tuning in next season. With a cup of coffee and a notebook. Ready to solve the mystery, no matter how long it takes. But secretly hoping it's shorter!
