She’s living in her aunt’s Arconia apartment with the promise that she will renovate it, but that’s not going well or going at all.
She doesn’t seem to have a job, and she’s alone for the first time in her life. Beneath her tough persona, she’s incredibly anxious, which explains her obsession with memorizing said statistics, binging Dateline, and her unique way of falling asleep - she imagines brutally murdering a man who appears in one of her recurring dreams, and she’s “out like a light.” It appears that Mabel doesn’t have much going on in her life. Next is the tough, bold, and opinionated Mabel, who knows sexual-assault statistics off the top of her head. Just his little hat, eggs, meticulously placed peppers, and a murder podcast to listen to in his Manhattan apartment. Now, Charles doesn’t have any job leads or anyone in his life. But like every character in Only Murders in the Building, he also has a secret: He once lived in the Arconia with a former live-in partner, Lucy (she loved omelettes), but he lies by omission to Mabel when he says he’s lived alone in the Arconia for 28 years. Charles also loves eggs - he cooks them several times in this 33-minute episode. Charles is also meticulously organized: He organizes his peppers in perfect rows inside his fridge (he’d be horrified to see that I just shove them in a drawer), and the way he organizes his true-crime theories would be satisfying to anyone who loves spreadsheets and organization stuff (can you tell I’m not one of these people?). He’s eager to please, and has been desperately seeking the next big thing for decades. Charles clings to the fame Brazzos gave him.

The premiere answers every question I had leading up to its release: Will an eccentric group of strangers try to solve a crime, assuming they are experts because they listen to a murder podcast? Will Martin Short make a reference to the hit musical Annie? Will Steve Martin wear a little hat? Does Selena Gomez have a secret bigger than her hair? (An emphatic “yes” to each.)īefore the unlikely trio becomes an amateur mystery-solving gang that rivals Scooby Doo’s, the characters introduce themselves via quirky expositional voice-overs paired shots of them (quirkily) walking in New York City.įirst we have Charles, an actor who starred in a popular TV crime series back in the day (which in these days means the ’90s) called Brazzos. The premiere of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building from co-creators Martin and John Hoffman explores secrets, loneliness, and the true-crime craze of the 2010s, all set in an iconic New York City apartment building - the Arconia, meant as a stand-in for the Ansonia - that’s filled with characters straight out of Fran Lebowitz’s brain. (Not that anyone asked, but when walking in New York City, I am a mix of Oliver and Mabel.) Mabel (Selena Gomez) walks confidently in the middle of the sidewalk in a furry yellow coat, as if the city is exclusively hers. Oliver (Martin Short) wears a royal-blue coat with a purple scarf and screams at cars. Charles (Steve Martin) wears a little hat (I will mention this little hat often, you’ve been warned) and talks to tourists long enough to get roped into taking a picture of them. The story then flashes to two months before Selena Gomez seemingly becomes a murderer, and introduces our little cast of misfits with shots of them walking in New York City, which is a great way to instantly understand anyone’s personality. (Unfortunately for me, she does not mention where she purchased the turtleneck.) Her lush white turtleneck is covered in blood. When they enter the apartment unit, Selena Gomez is on the floor hovering over a body. Meanwhile, Steve Martin and Martin Short run through a different part of the prewar Upper West Side apartment building while Short screams, “Oh my God, oh my God,” like a true-crime queen.

It’s Hulu’s latest, Only Murders in the Building, and it opens in the same way every show and movie opens now: in the very-near future! Mind-blowing, right? Who would have thought? Men with guns and baseball caps run through the hallways of a decadent prewar Upper West Side apartment building. At last, the television program we’ve all been waiting for our whole lives: the one in which Teen Choice Award winner Selena Gomez exchanges dialogue with Tony Award winner Martin Short and honorary Oscar winner Steve Martin.
