Fey is brilliant as Cinda Canning, as is Schumer as Schumer. Its guest stars remain as impressive as always. And Mabel (who knew Selena Gomez was so deadpan, and so good?) becomes embroiled in the Bushwick art scene, and a possible relationship with a posh English poseur, played with aplomb by Cara Delevingne. Martin Short continues to preen as the fabulously narcissistic Oliver, but we get more of his family, too. Charles returns to his acting career and we find out more about his family, past and present. Our core trio are given lives and relationships away from each other and outside the Arconia. Outside all the clever moments and the arch meta-ness of it all, the plot thickens in other ways. There are flashbacks and period episodes, and still, there is room for slapstick involving a knife.

Her pitch isn’t the only TV show within a TV show.

“I wanna go full prestige,” she tells Oliver. Then Amy Schumer takes on Sting’s old apartment, and dangles the possibility of a small-screen dramatisation of the original podcast. Mabel becomes internet-famous and is nicknamed Bloody Mabel, which leads to some interesting riffs on notoriety (and reminded me of the much-missed Search Party).Īt the same time, Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) is back, making a podcast about the podcasters, called Only Murderers in the Building. Now Charles, Oliver and Mabel are investigating a murder in which one of them is implicated. Only Murders is a many-layered cake, a Bake Off finale showstopper, and this second season adds tier after tier. There is a lot more going on here than in the first season, which is saying something. But murder is their hobby – not like that, obviously – and they have a taste for true crime, so it isn’t long before they go in as the Hardy Boys, round two.

Naturally, the police are strict about the fact that as “persons of interest” in Bunny’s murder, they absolutely must not make a podcast about it. We now know who killed Tim Kono, but as the trio celebrated saving the Arconia, Mabel was found holding a knitting needle and covered in blood, hovering over the body of poor “cranky old bitch” and outgoing Arconia building president Bunny Folger. This second season, not as finely balanced as the first but still a lot of fun, pulls at those loose ends until they unravel, then unravels them more. Sure, Charles, Oliver and Mabel solved the key mysteries of season one, and got a hit podcast out of it, but there were, as Mabel pointed out, “still a couple of loose ends” left to tie up. The meta murder mystery was an elegant charmer that combined a meaty crime plot, New York’s crotchety appeal, good physical comedy – watching Steve Martin roll around in a lift for half an hour is a total delight – and a sly self-awareness, all of which made for a classy debut. I t makes sense that Only Murders in the Building (Disney+) would have had the decency to end its first season with a good old-fashioned cliffhanger.
