The third season of Disney’s Only Murders in the Building is an antidote to the true crime genre
Only Murders in the BuildingWhat do travelling, negronis and true crime podcasts have in common? Your potential matches on the apps – future partners, perhaps! – have been singing their praises for the last decade. Sam wouldto travel more this year .
All those are valid interests, and who among us has not listed an anodyne character trait in the hopes of seeming approachable, though on a scale of liking Campari-based drinks to holding an obsessive interest in murder, perhaps the latter ought to give us some pause for thought. If it feels like you cannot escape true crime, it is probably because you can’t: it bleeds into television, film, books, video games, and has done for some time.
Co-created by Martin and John Hoffman, the series is obsessed with the genre, even if the cases are not based on true stories. Our three heroes all listen to a fictional podcast, “All Is Not OK in Oklahoma”, about the murder of a small-town girl, hosted by Cinda Canning . With an overarching mystery told in weekly instalments, the show’s pace mirrors a weekly podcast.
In the first episode of the latest season, after, yes, another murder has apparently occurred, our hosts are going through the motions at a particularly bleak party. Everyone displays sadness, but actually, isn’t this a good thing? There is a reason for another season, to get the whole gang together. And with the showiness of this particular death, the podcast has the potential to be more popular than ever.
The first two episodes of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ are available to watch on Disney+ on August 8, and new episodes air weekly
