Only Murders in the Building (season 5)
{5/5} “The easiest way to win a game is to make your opponent think they’re playing a different game entirely.”
Only Murders in the Building season 5, aired in 2025
Lester the doorman is dead, apparently an accident. On the day he died Sofia Caccimelio approached Charles and Mabel to ask them to find her missing husband, Nicky. They pointed out that they just do murders. Now they find a photo of Lester and Nicky together on the day Lester died, and Oliver finds a severed finger in his shrimp. When they visit Sofia she gives them a deck of cards, one of which has a secret map on it.
There are a couple of wobbly parts but overall it’s a fun season.
The 2nd episode is a huge flashback in which we get to see a bunch of characters when they were younger — it’s delightful.
Stars Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Dianne Wiest, Bobby Cannavale, and Beanie Feldstein. Tona Plana reunites with Steve Martin and Martin Short after starring with them in Three Amigos!
I previously reviewed season 4.
