Only Pop Stars in the Building

Meryl Streep returns in this week's new Only Murders in the Building. She and Martin Short continue to have great chemistry though I found her unexpected bonding with Dianne Wiest over an opera stage dagger a little more interesting.

Meanwhile, Mabel's conflict with her former friend and current pop star Althea comes to a head. Althea's fictional popular song sounds suspiciously similar to Sabrina Carpenter to me and I wonder if there's some real life cattiness at play from real life pop star Selena Gomez, who plays Mabel, aimed at Carpenter.

Charles's trouble in this episode revolves around a dating app. Mabel upbraids him for wearing an earring in a scene that really made them seem like a married couple.

Only Murders in the Building is available on Disney+ in Japan and on Hulu elsewhere.
