Steve Martin is actually playing the concertina in various scenes
Tale
Three strangers – who live in the same New York City apartment building and share an obsession with true crime – suddenly find themselves embroiled in a murder.. He is in fact a very accomplished and talented musician..
Featured in AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: The Rat of All My Dreams (2020)
The viewer learned in the first episode that CHS lived above Oliver who lived above Mabel, with that elevator scene. BUT the opener has CHS in an apartment on the 7th floor, Oliver on 8th, Mabel on 9th–the reverse order and far below CHS' actual apt floor within the series..
Well worth the 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating
When the initial episodes of 'Only Murders in the Building' started raking in 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, I must confess that I was skeptical that Steve Martin and co could keep up the quirky fun nature of this comedy-thriller series until the last episode.But Martin Short, Selena Gomez and him form an unlikely yet rambunctious trio who keeps us hooked and entertained until the very last episode of this brilliantly written, infectiously funny series.Steve Martin and a fantastic Martin Short star as a pair of geriatric has-been performers who run into a young guild (Gomez) who also happens to be a fellow murder podcast fanatic. How this rag-tag trio come together to solve a strange murder that takes place in their apartment forms the rest of this story.Although some comedy-investigative series’ have had huge fan bases like Monk (2002-09) and Psych (2006-14) this genre has always been a tightrope walk that most creators shy away from.Finding humor in the most unlikeliest of places and filled with unexpected twists and turns and a host of delectable supporting characters, it is no surprise that Steve Martin was also one of the creative geniuses behind the writing of this work.Leaving us on a tantalizing knife-edge with a cliffhanger climax, I cannot wait for Season 2.
An immensely bingeable, suspenseful, laugh riot!Highly recommended!
