Over the past couple of years, I discovered that I had seemingly lost my sense of humor and was unable to watch, enjoy, or even remotely tolerate comedies ... of any type or from any era. (Excepting Coyote/roadrunner of course)
Then I discovered Only Murders in the Building - and I got hooked - even though I despise Martin Short, can barely tolerate Steve Martin, and had never seen Selena Gomez in anything. The unique blend of intentional bad acting, slapstick, really intricate plots, and totally unexpected twists and surprises, not to mention large dollops of non-pc material, has me laughing out loud again. And now the addition of Meryl Streep and Jesse Williams in season 3? Promises to be fun ...
