Only Murders in the
Building: Celebrities playing exaggerated version of
themselves can be tricky. I was not really
feeling the new Three Amigos after the first episode. But by the end, the Perfect Strangers montage,
unhinged va Longoria, and Eugene Levy getting punched in the face were
extremely hilarious. I also did not like
Howard last season. He just seemed
forced as the stage hand, though I like him much more as basically a thankless
unpaid intern for the podcast. Though,
now I am wondering what happened to his boyfriend? Probably hanging out with all of Mabel’s exes
in obscurity never to be heard from again.
But that was an ominous ending. Who was that weirdo on the other end? And could that be Melissa McCarthy? I kind of assumed that she would be playing Jan
in the movie, but being some weirdo might be the better role for her.
Tell Me Lies: I was excited
to get more of the future timeline in the first season, but now it kind of
feels like a momentum killer. Especially
since it was a silly duel bachelor / bachelorette party which was only done to
get Lucy and Stephen in the same room at the same time. The earlier timeline remains more
interesting. Great scene with Lucy fulfilling her promise
of outing Stephen’s secret if he continues to mess with her. But she made one crucial mistake in not
telling Diana that one of her sorority sisters saw Stephen and Macy together that
night. Now the question is, what, if anything
does she do with that information.
Stephen is not in prison in the future, so it seems like nothing is a
good guess.
The Old Man: So the old man was not hallucinated the bad
guy at the end of his episode? But I am
confused how Maeby went from having a fight to the death with her father to caving
hunting with each other.
