Only Murders In The Building Season 2 Cast
Okay, let's talk Only Murders In The Building Season 2. We all binged it, right? The mystery was twisty. The comedy was sharp. But let's be real, some cast additions were... interesting.
The Core Three: Still Killing It (Pun Intended)
Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez? Still gold. Their chemistry is undeniable. Their comedic timing is chef's kiss. They're the heart of the show. No arguments there.
Charles' awkwardness? Still hilarious. Oliver's desperate need for the spotlight? Classic. Mabel's deadpan delivery? Iconic. They nailed it again.
Must Read
Cara Delevingne as Alice: My Unpopular Opinion
Okay, here's where things get spicy. Many adore Cara Delevingne as Alice. The mysterious artist with a connection to Mabel. I have mixed feelings.
She wasn't bad. But she also didn't blow me away. The relationship felt a bit forced, didn't it? Maybe it's just me.
Alice seemed more like a plot device than a fully realized character. Like, “Hey, Mabel needs a love interest!” Bam, Alice arrives.
Shirley MacLaine as Rose Cooper: A Legend, But...
Shirley MacLaine is a legend. I mean, come on! She's Shirley MacLaine! Her presence elevates anything. That being said…
Her role as Rose Cooper felt a tad underwhelming. A recluse with a secret past? Intriguing on paper. But somehow, the execution felt… flat.
Did we really need another character obsessed with Charles' father? Maybe not. Especially when she felt more like a cameo than a core part of the season.
Amy Schumer as Herself: Meta, But Did It Work?
Amy Schumer playing herself? Meta! Quirky! Very Only Murders. But was it truly necessary?
The whole "Amy Schumer wants to buy Oliver's apartment to make a Sting documentary" storyline was... odd. Funny, sure, but odd.
It felt like a distraction from the central mystery. Did it add anything substantial to the plot? I'm not entirely convinced. Maybe it was just to have a famous person.
Michael Rapaport as Detective Kreps: Perfect Casting!
Now, here's a cast member I actually loved! Michael Rapaport as Detective Kreps? Genius! He was perfectly slimy and suspicious.
He played the part of a corrupt cop with such relish. You knew he was up to no good from the get-go. His interactions with the main trio were hilarious.
He was the villain we all loved to hate. More Kreps in Season 3, please!
Overall: A Fun Ride, Despite Some Hiccups
Season 2 of Only Murders In The Building was still a blast. The humor, the mystery, the Arconia building itself - it all works.
Some cast additions weren't perfect. But the core trio carried the show. The plot was still so gripping. Can we please just skip ahead to season 3?
So, did Cara Delevingne wow me? Not really. Did Shirley MacLaine get enough screen time? I don’t think so. But I'll still be watching next season. Will you?
