Only Murders In The Building Season 2 Review - Cnn
Okay, Okay, Let's Talk About Only Murders In The Building Season 2
Confession time. I know everyone loved season 2 of Only Murders In The Building. But did anyone else feel… underwhelmed?
Don't get me wrong! It wasn't bad. Just… not as good as season one, right?
The Case of the Missing Spark
Season one had this… magic. The mystery felt tighter. The characters felt fresh.
Must Read
Season two felt like they were trying too hard. Like they knew they had something special and were afraid to mess it up.
Maybe I'm being too harsh. But that's what reviews are for, right?
More Suspects, More Problems?
Season two introduced a bunch of new characters. And that's fine! New suspects are always welcome.
But did we really care about them? I honestly struggled to remember half their names.
I found it hard to engage with new suspects. Were they just red herrings?
The Mama Rose of It All
Speaking of new characters, Amy Schumer as herself? It was… a choice.
I love Amy Schumer! But the meta-commentary felt forced. It pulled me out of the story.
It felt like a celebrity cameo that didn't quite land. Anyone else agree?
Our Beloved Trio: Still Charming, But…
Okay, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are always amazing. No question there.
They still had great chemistry. But even their charm couldn't completely save it for me.
Did anyone feel like they were repeating themselves a little? Maybe just me.
The Mystery Itself: A Bit of a Letdown?
The solving of the mystery? It felt… less satisfying than the first season.
The motive felt a little weak. The reveal wasn't as shocking.
I missed the clever twists of season one. It just didn't quite hit the same mark.
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
I know, I know. Everyone loved season 2. I get it!
But compared to the brilliance of season one? It just didn't live up to the hype, in my humble opinion.
Am I the only one who felt this way? Please tell me I'm not alone!
Still Worth Watching? Absolutely!
Despite my complaints, I still enjoyed Only Murders In The Building season 2.
It's funny, charming, and has a great cast. Even a "weaker" season is still pretty good.
Plus, I'm already excited for season 3. Maybe they'll recapture that original magic!
Final Verdict: A Solid B+
Season 2 of Only Murders In The Building is enjoyable. But it just didn't reach the heights of its predecessor.
It's worth watching for the cast alone. Just don't expect it to blow your mind.
I still love this show. But maybe I'm setting my expectations a little lower for season 3.
What did you think of season 2? Sound off in the comments!
