Sting: More Than Just a Neighbor?
Okay, let's talk about Only Murders in the Building. Specifically, let's talk about Sting.
Yes, that Sting. The one who sings about walking in the footsteps of giants.
Is He Really Just... Sting?
Here's my unpopular opinion: I think Sting's character was a little... wasted.
Must Read
Don't get me wrong, it was cool to see him. But did he really add much to the Arconia's chaotic charm?
I mean, a rockstar living in an apartment building full of secrets? The possibilities were endless!
He Seemed... Underused?
He felt more like a cameo than a proper character. A fancy, musical cameo, sure.
Think about it: We got glimpses of his angst over his dog, his financial woes. That was it.
Couldn't they have tied him into the murder mystery a bit more?

A Missed Opportunity?
Imagine Sting being a red herring! What if he was secretly obsessed with Tim Kono?
Or maybe he was using his music royalties to fund something shady in the Arconia basement.
The writers could have done so much more!
The "Roxanne" Connection
Think about his famous song, "Roxanne." Could it have been a clue?
Was there a "Roxanne" in the Arconia's past? A secret mistress?

Probably not, but a girl can dream, right?
My "Unpopular" Sting Theory
Okay, here's my half-baked theory. What if Sting was actually... undercover?
Bear with me! Maybe he was investigating something completely unrelated to the murders.
Perhaps a long-lost treasure hidden within the building's walls. Or a secret society.
The Power of Celebrity
I think the show leaned too heavily on the novelty of "Hey, it's Sting!".

They forgot to give him a truly compelling story arc.
It’s like they were scared to make him a villain, or even just a really interesting suspect.
He's Still Sting, Though
Of course, I'm not saying Sting was bad. He was still Sting!
His performance was funny, and his presence added a certain star power to the show.
It’s just…I wanted more.

The Verdict?
So, is Sting essential to Only Murders in the Building?
Honestly? Probably not. Could the show have worked without him?
Absolutely. But he was a fun addition, even if he felt a bit... underwhelming.
Season 4 Hopes
Maybe, just maybe, he'll pop up again in season 4.
And maybe, this time, he'll have a bigger, juicier role to play.
A girl can hope, right? Especially if it involves a secret Sting-related conspiracy!
