Only Murders in the Building: The Misery Continues

Oh joy, the chaos crew from Arconia is back to ruin your life, and they still can't catch a break. Welcome to Season 4 of Hulu’s Emmy-snubbed “Only Murders in the Building,” where our favorite trio—Mabel, Charles, and Oliver—head to the cesspool of humanity known as Los Angeles. Because Hollywood needs another dumpster fire of a film adaptation.

The Murder Juice

Charles' stunt double and friend Sazz Pataki was grabbing a bottle of wine in his apartment to celebrate Oliver's Broadway flop-show’s opening night. In true soap opera fashion, a bullet randomly shoots through the window and nails her in the chest. Mortal Kombat style, Pataki scribbles something with her own blood on the kitchen floor before dropping dead. What a way to end the night.

The Mystery Thickens like Bad Gravy

Still wondering who actually meant to kill Charles, the trio of dimwits race back to New York. Because apparently, murder mysteries are more fun when you’re navigating a building full of degenerates and sociopaths. Hulu promises that this season is an "even more epic journey" traversing the courtyard to delve into the twisted lives of West Tower residents. Because who doesn’t want to spend their time solving crimes instead of getting a life?
