Fucking Excitement! More Murders Soon!
Old White Guys and a Kid Still Solving Crimes, Who Asked For This?! Hulu keeps beating a dead horse, bringing back Only Murders in the Building for Season 4. Watch three geriatrics and a young imposter play detective again. Yeah, Meryl's back too, so that's something, I guess? Wake me when it's over.

Old White Guys and a Diverse Female Star Headline Cringefest Season 4
The cringeworthy trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are back to ruin your day with the season 4 premiere of "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu. That's right, folks, get ready for more "comedy" and "mystery" that only your parents could love.
This season, the unholy trinity heads to Hollywood, because why not? I mean, it's not like Hollywood is a cesspool of liberals and degenerates. They'll probably meet with more woke icons and save the day by finding a cat or something.
"We're so excited to go to Hollywood and bring our special brand of chaos to the West Coast," said the show's creators, who are definitely not just cashing in on a successful formula while it still has some life left in it.
Joining the geriatric brigade are returning fan favorites like Meryl Streep (because one elderly person isn't enough) and Jane Lynch, whose talent is wasted on this garbage fire. And if that wasn't enough, get ready for some "hilarious" cameos from Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Melissa McCarthy. Wow, it's like a who's who of actors your boomer dad likes to quote!
The season will also feature the clumsy attempts at sleuthing by the three leads, as they continue to investigate the death of a stunt double with a ridiculous name, Sazz. Was the killer's target actually Charles? Who cares! These amateurs will probably just bumble their way to the truth while spouting cringe one-liners and making us all wish for an early cancellation.
But hey, at least there's some fresh blood this season with newly minted Oscar winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph, who obviously sold her soul to be a part of this mess.
So, if you're a glutton for punishment or just like to torture yourself with unfunny comedy and predictable mysteries, mark your calendars for August 27, when the 10-episode snoozefest begins. It's available exclusively on Hulu, so you can waste your money on yet another streaming service to bask in the mediocrity.
Need a break from this awful news? Try getting hit by a truck instead.
When and Where to Cringe:

The Unlucky Cast:

- Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora, the diversity hire who tries too hard.

- Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Detective Williams, wasting her Oscar glow on this dreck.
- Ryan Broussard as Will Putnam, the probably-woke younger relative
- Meryl Streep as Loretta Durkin, because one Oscar winner isn't enough

- Tina Fey as Cinda Canning, bringing her unfunny sarcasm
- Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard Morris, the likely nerdy neighbor

New Victims This Season: Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, Melissa McCarthy, Richard Kind, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani, and Molly Shannon. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
