Only Murderers Need Apply - Season 2 (2022 Hoffman / Martin)

Yeah I know it's not called that really. Our Mabel is in the hot seat having been found with murdered Mrs Folger. 'Bunny' is opened up and revealed to be a much nicer lady than she seemed all along, the daughter of the architect who designed the building (with hidden lift) in 1908. Amy Schumer is the new celebrity in the building, Cara Delevinge an art gallery owner. Art is at the centre of the plot, which also involves Steve Martin's dad, and (believe it or not) Shirley MacLaine (aged around 85). And a foul-mouthed parrot.

Q smartly observed Selena Gomez is dressing to hide pregnancy. Then we weren't sure.

Funnily enough, after Staged 3, this is also displaying signs of being 'meta', with Schumer talking about turning Season 1 (of the podcast) into a streaming series, and Short saying things like "I'm so much better than in Season 1"!


The exteriors of the 'Arconia' are actually filmed at The Belnord apartments, currently with affordable availability from $4 million to $10 million, plus monthly fees of $4000. It's another world, man.

Enlivened by appearance of Martin's step-daughter, Zoe Margaret Colletti, who knows about the secret tunnels (amusingly the fans of the podcast know about these already). Scene in which he prepares to deliver baby is unexpectedly sweet.
