When Does Only Murders In The Building Air
Okay, let's talk about Only Murders in the Building. We all love it, right? But when does it actually air?
The Airing Time Conspiracy
Here's my controversial opinion. It airs late. Like, way past my bedtime. Does anyone else feel this way?
Everyone's all, "Oh, it's perfect for winding down!" But I'm usually already winding down! Winding down usually involves staring blankly at the ceiling.
Must Read
Tuesday Blues and Hulu Clues
Technically, Hulu drops it on Tuesdays. But it's not exactly early Tuesday. It's more like…late Monday night pretending to be Tuesday.
This is a problem. A first-world problem, sure. But a problem nonetheless! I want to watch Mabel, Oliver, and Charles solve crimes! I just don't want to be a zombie while doing it.
I mean, I could stay up. But then I'm useless the next day. And that's not fair to my cat who demands cuddles at 6 AM sharp.
The Binge-Watching Dilemma
Some people wait until all the episodes are out. Then they binge-watch the whole season. That's smart. Very smart.
But where's the fun in that? Where's the agonizing wait between episodes? Where's the frantic theorizing with friends about who the killer is?
Okay, maybe I hate that part. The theorizing is stressful! Everyone thinks they're Sherlock Holmes all of a sudden.
The Sleep Deprivation Factor
Seriously though, the late release time is a killer (pun intended!). I end up watching half an episode. Then I fall asleep with my face on my phone.
The next morning, I have to rewind. And I missed crucial clues! It's a vicious cycle.
Maybe they should consider a morning release? "Only Murders Over Breakfast," anyone? I'd be so productive afterwards (maybe).
My Unpopular Conclusion
So, yeah. Only Murders in the Building airs at the wrong time. It's not the show's fault, of course. It's my fault for being old.
Or maybe it's Hulu's fault. Or maybe it's the fault of whoever invented time zones. I don't know! I'm tired!
But I'll still watch it. Every single episode. Even if I have to drink three cups of coffee the next day. Because Steve Martin is a genius.
A Humble Request
Dear Hulu, if you're reading this, please consider my plea. Think of the sleep-deprived masses! Think of the cats who are being denied timely cuddles!
Move the release time up a few hours! Pretty please? With a cherry on top?
Or, you know, just let me know who the killer is now. I promise I won't tell anyone. (Except maybe my cat).
In the meantime, I'll be here. Waiting. And probably yawning. Just like Oliver Putnam waiting for his big break.
And secretly hoping that Selena Gomez will adopt me.
Okay, I'm done now. Go watch Only Murders in the Building. Whenever you can stay awake for it, that is.
