“Grab Your Hankies”

The third episode of the third season of Only Murders in the Building dropped last night on Hulu.

I have to say, so far this season is a little slower than previous seasons. The episode focused more on Oliver’s attempt to transform his Broadway play from Death Rattles to a musical called Death Rattle Dazzles. Sure the killer is suspected to be among the cast, but there was not enough detail on the case and too much on the play itself, for my tastes.

Not to say that this was a bad episode. Not at all. In fact, I did enjoy much of what they presented us, thanks mainly to the talents of Steve Martin and Martin Short. There was a lovely song sung by Meryl Streep too. Mabel was able to do some actual investigating making some progress with the documentarian, Tobert.

I just hope that they do not make Meryl Streep the killer in this season. It just seems too played out to have a woman who is involved with one of our two leads be the culprit again.

The show is starting off by hinting toward Kimber (Ashley Park) as the first suspect. She had been emotional about the death and she had lost her hankie that Ben had given to everyone. We know that Ben wound up with a hankie in his hand after falling to his death and that it was not his own, because the stalker had the hankie that belonged to Ben.

Kimber seems to clearly be the red herring at first. I’m more interested in the brother at the moment.

There are ten total episodes of the series this year so we a just about a third of the way through.
