ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING S2E8 HELLO, DARKNESS ๐Ÿ˜Š

Only Murders In The Building -- โ€œHello Darknessโ€ - Episode 208 -- A blackout throws the city into chaos. As the trio races to save a loved one from the killer, other Arconia residents begin to explore unexpected connections in the midst of darkness -- all enhanced by Gut Milk and a yodel or two.

ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING is taking its sweet time to solve the murder mystery. I loved this episode, but as Charles (Martin Short) statedโ€ฆโ€ low in quality content this season.โ€ย 

Fan Club Marv (Daniel Oreskes) was the point of view we heard this week. New York blackouts can bring out the crazies, Gut Milk, Sounds of Silence, yodelers, and 50 pounds of dip. There is definitely โ€œa thin line between civilization and chaos.โ€ Climbing up too many flights of stairs and crawling through secret tunnels can get you โ€œlost in your own building.โ€ Thank goodness there is some kindness and new love to light the way.ย 

ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING showcased some fabulous comedic banter between Oliver, Charles (Steve Martin), and Mabel (Selina Gomez). I have a feeling improv plays a heavy part in their script readings. Where else would โ€œhips before dipsโ€ or โ€œcheese before kneesโ€ ever become โ€œkeeperโ€ lines? I would never be able to keep a straight face at rehearsals. โ€œIs there nothing dips canโ€™t do?โ€ There are only two episodes left. Donโ€™t miss the conclusion to this fun-filled escapism. โ€œGesundheit.โ€

ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING is available to stream on HULU.
