"Only Murders in the Building"
This stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, on Hulu.
It landed on more than one critic's 'best' list. It's supposed to be a comedy, but I haven't cracked a smile yet. It would have been more successful as more zany and slapstick. As it is it's muddled and forced.
Those critics are seeing something that I don't.

Not everyone is going to like everything the same, I guess.

(24,470 posts)maybe the comedy is meant for an older generation (like me) and falls flat with younger people?
there will be a season 2.
