Only Murders In The Building Season 4 of Only Murders In The Building has finally come to an end, and what a delightful season it was. Charles, Oliver and Mabel cracked the case once again, and once again discovered a body in the Arconium. I’d say that our sleuthing podcasters can’t catch a break, but it’s really their neighbors that ought to be worried.
Spoilers ahead. Basically, the big twist I talk about in the headline is that there was no twist. I should be upset about this.
After all, I wrote a really in-depth post trying to solve the murders and figure out the killer after last week’s episode . I thought “Surely they couldn’t have revealed the true killer in Episode 9!” I also believed there were two killers, and missed that this was just another red herring—one planted directly by the actual killer, the nervous and soft-spoken Marshall, who is really Rex Bailey. Of course, there are mysteries still left unsolved; ones that our heroes, satisfied in catching the killer, forgot about all over again.
The hidden cameras were certainly not placed by Marshall. The poisoned dog, Willie, and the ominous notes and text messages? Those were definitely the actions of somebody else. Or maybe multiple people in the form of the mafia.
All signs point to a mafia-themed final season (if Season 5 is the final season, which it reportedly is) and it’s entirely possible that the body found at the end of the finale has something to do with it, and with the mysterious disappearance of Nicky “The Neck” Caccimelio, the Dry-Cleaning King of Brooklyn, whose wife shows up and offers to hire the gang to find him. Only Murders In The Building The episode itself was quite fun, even if we had the main mystery solved the week before. Some thoughts on how it played out: Only Murders In The Building Trump Vs.

So far I’d rank Season 1 the best, followed by Season 4, Season 3 and finally Season 2. I think the one thing this season is missing is more podcasting.
They did such a great job with all the podcasting bits in Season 1, showing the trio making goofy attempts at recording, working out scripts, releasing episodes. They had the fan-club. Slowly all that stuff has fallen by the wayside.
My other big criticism of this season and the show’s trajectory in general is there are simply far too many celebrity guest stars. I mean, please keep bringing back versions of Paul Rudd, obviously, but can we just cool our jets on all the rest? It’s too much. I liked the lesser-known character actors we got this season as the Westies more than the bigger names in the movie.
I really would love to see a fifth season that attempts to recapture the feel of Season 1—only with a mafiosa spin, if that’s the direction this goes. What did you think of Season 4 and the finale?
