Last night's Only Murders in the Building was directed by the prolific Jamie Babbit and featured a tighter focus on this season's murder mystery. This season, it's been the murder of the building's elderly doorman, Lester. One of the gags recurring throughout is about a robotic replacement for the dead man called LESTR. LESTR partially narrates the episode. It was kind of funny.
The suspect becomes Lester's human replacement, Randall. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez all fail to run after him, two of them because they're too old and one of them because she's wearing awkward shoes. Nathan Lane returns to have wine with Selena Gomez. None of it was riotously funny or gripping but it was cosy viewing.
Next week's episode is the finale. This show has been one of the things that mark autumn for me in lieu of an actual change in the weather though the past couple days have suddenly been really chilly. It's amazing, it's like someone flipped a switch.
Only Murders in the Building is available on Disney+ and/or Hulu.
