Recapping Only Murders in the Building
The series, created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, follows Charles, Oliver and Mabel, three residents of the Arconia building who develop a fixation with criminal cases. The initial hobby with true crime podcasts turns into a real investigation, with the group solving murders that occur locally while recording everything on the program itself.
SPOILER: At the end of season 5…
In the season 5 finale, the trio follows Cinda Canning’s latest podcast, which focuses on a mysterious red-haired woman accused of killing a member of British royalty. The story indicates that she was sent to the United States for protection after the scandal. Soon after, a red-haired woman appears injured at the Arconia gates, but the twist shows that it is Cinda herself, attacked in connection with the case she was investigating.
The fifth season also featured appearances from Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Dianne Wiest and others.
