With the arrival of August we returned to Arconia. symbolic imaginary skyscraper new York returns to our screens with a new mystery. third season Only murders in the building premiere this week disneyplus purporting to complete a story that began three years ago. And this steve martinwith one of the three heroes Martin Short And Selena GomezHe plans to retire when the series ends. Thanks to this new production, he would be the icing on the cake of his career, having a minor rebirth after years of stagnation. A career that almost parallels that of Martin Short, with whom he has billed for other comedies on the big screen. However, the series does not just live in the nostalgia of those old movies. There is a complete generation gap among its viewers, because for some of them it’s the Selena Gómez series.
The leading trio turned into Jessica Fletcher, a sort of mystery novelist. Angela Lansbury A crime was written, whenever it was revealed, it was a sign that someone was going to die.

The secret to the success of this series is the mix of mystery and comedy that go hand in hand in a new title, perfect for the days of a particularly hot summer.
The plot began in the summer of 2021, with no bigger pretensions than smiling, almost like a joke between friends. But given the level of people involved, it was inevitable that sooner or later this would turn into something much bigger. From Shirley McLaine with angle. There’s always been a lavish cast of secondary characters on the show, but this year the big signature Meryl Streep. It’s not the first time we’ve seen her in comedic roles or in a television series, but she’s a strong enough addition to highlight. After solidifying his career with some very serious characters, someone should have told Streep a long time ago that he needed to let his hair down. Since the nineties, he’s shown us his funniest side from time to time. Last time don’t look up for Netflix. And it cannot be said that the world of series is unknown to him. One of her first successes was precisely in 1978 in a television mini-series. Holocausttakes place in Nazi Germany. Over time, her status as a big star has skyrocketed the budgets of any television production if they wanted to have it. But television today has many more tools.
With the signature of this caliber, the detective aspect we in the audience carry inside allows us to put him in our pools as the number one murder suspect. We refuse to believe that she has come to play a purely supporting role. Someone like him deserves nothing less. But her role in the second season of Little big Lies also promised everything, and it finally melted away like a piece of candy. With only two episodes aired, where he appeared in only one, it’s too soon to tell whether he will be another suspect on the list or the undercover killer whose identity will not be revealed until the final episode. But we had a long list of failed suspects who made mistakes in this series. And we expect nothing less from someone like Meryl Streep.
This season’s other major guest artist, Paul Rudd has been a victim. And I’m not giving spoilers with that, because his character’s fault was how we ended the previous season without ever seeing him in any episode before, and the way these new episodes started. The actor plays one of the lowly egotistical idiots for whom some empathy for the person who killed him is inevitable.

So it was not unusual imitators soon appeared.

While the married couple reconstructs the last days of the disappeared young people, we also see flashbacks of what happened to them fifteen years ago in the same scenario. Solving this mystery becomes the key for the two protagonists to overcome their marital crisis, just as their protagonist in the Only Murders building tries to solve these crimes to overcome their own personal traumas. As for audiences, solving this mystery can lead to their own personal catharsis.
