Love this season although I feel like it could have been a couple of episodes shorter. There were a few in the middle, including the Matthew Broderick one, which didn’t really add to the story.

I feel like there will be at least one more twist in the last episode.

The best actress of our generation having to act like a bad actress—so genius!!

I was never a Meryl Streep fan, for whatever reason, but seeing her on Only Murders has turned me into one. Her singing, in particular, has been a surprising treat.
As always, Martin Short steels most scenes he’s in. He’s incredibly funny.

Ha! Really? I love that show in spite of her. She’s always so monotone. I think she’s a terrible actress

Agreed. Selena drags most scenes down. I know she has had some serious health issues but she can barely move her mouth or make facial expressions now. I started watching season 1 again with daughter and it’s jarring how much she has changes since that first season. She was able to actually move her mouth and make expressions. She really needs and acting coach, especially up against masters like Martin and short. Martin Short deserves and Emmy for his role, he is brilliant.

I mean, there’s nothing she can do about this. Do you actually want her written off the show because of her health issues? That’s not very kind.

She was pretty terrible the first season. She never should have been cast in the first place. I know her character is dry, sarcastic etc, but it still requires acting. Selena thinks that no facial expressions and monotone voice in every scene is how to play sarcastic.

I adore this show! Meryl is such a treat and so was Matthew Broderick in his one episode.
As a PP noted, Selena Gomez is noticeably having a hard time moving her mouth and having facial expressions- and she seems stiff. Tough for her if she’s wrestling with health issues while having to act next to Meryl Streep.

There needs to be a twist, right?

Spoiler theory:

















I think she’s Dickie’s mom or something. He was in the background of every photo in that album.

Do we think Meryl is Paul’s mother?

There needs to be a twist, right?

5 episodes in and it’s finally getting good for me.

Ashley Park is everywhere these days. If you’ve seen “Emily in Paris” you know she also has a beautiful singing voice. I loved when she joined Meryl in singing in Ep 3.

Ashley is a Tony nominated Broadway actress. Her singing voice is beautiful. This was well before Emily in Paris.

I like Selena Gomez in this. I assumed the voice was a generational thing, no? The character is reserved, if not secretive. And she has lived a trauma-filled life. Gomez's air of detachment works to convey this.

I like Selena generally but her voice is drab and odd in this show. Kind of grating.

Ashley Park is great! If you have Peacock, she's in Girls5Eva, which is such a good show - she's also in that movie Joy Ride, which I think was much much funnier than it's gotten credit for.
