I sure hope so 🥺 it’s such a cozy comfort fall show!

I get they cast all of these big name celebrities because one, a lot of them have done work with Steve Martin and Martin Short and it's to grab more fans of these actors/things the actors starred in to get into the show, but I miss when they used to cast smaller NYC actors. I don't know why, but it made the show have a certain NYC charm that you don't get from the big names. Tina Fey and Nathan Lane made sense because they're of SNL fame, which makes it keep that NYC charm. Plus, it was only a few guest stars here and there, not half of the new cast being big names. It also shines a light on actors most people wouldn't know about otherwise, Jackie Hoffman, James Caverly, Michael Cyril Creighton, all of these actors are genuinely some of my favourite parts of the show compared to if they just casted some big names as these characters instead of the actors they chose. I know it's because the show has gotten a lot bigger since S1 and all that but I kinda miss the early days when the show felt grounded in reality (Yes I am aware the plot itself isn't realistic, but that doesn't mean that other parts of the show weren't.)

I just finished it for the first time and I’m confused by a part. This contains spoilers btw.

So they tried to convince us that Tina Fey was with the cop but it was revealed it was actually Poppy working with him.

If that was the case then why did Tina Fey act shocked when they brought him up? I know she was acting but Poppy would have known Fey had nothing to do with the cop so why didn’t Poppy pick up on that.

If this is a spoiler explanation just say that and don’t spoil it please.

Not talking about Queen Meryl here, who only ever adds to anything she s a part of … but with every piece of star stunt casting, the whole shows feels like something that only serves the actors who get to have fun doing a small part on a fun show

Yes, “dont let the door hit you on the way out” - and maybe the all-star casting means the show can onboard more fans with the extra press…

But i dont think this actually serves the show’s final form

(I expect the post will get a lot of thumbs down. I ll live)

So Peter Capaldi has been hinting at being in the new season of Only Murders in the building since July, which he then confirmed last weekend at Wales Comic Con and then was officially announced by the press yesterday. However not a single picture or footage of Peter in costume has been leaked or release and no one has said that they saw him on set. Why and how they hiding him? Are all his scenes in doors? Is he playing a very important character that they want to keep secret? Or is he wearing a weird costume or prosthetics?

thoughts?

Just spotted Micheal Cyril Creighton is in the U.K. watching a production of Abigail’s Party…I wonder what else he could be up to this side of the Atlantic….

I think Only Murders In The Building is amazing. I am enjoying it I think it is amazing, great, and wonderful. I think it is a great show to watch when there is nothing to do,

I’m very excited for the upcoming UK set season of Only Murders but I‘m fully expecting them to lean hard into American stereotypes of British people and culture (also very London centric). As a non stereotypical American who has traveled to the UK many times (all over the UK not just London) and is regularly immersed in UK culture I hope it’s not too embarrassingly stereotypical. I‘m afraid that the best we can realistically hope for is that it feels endearingly chocolate box (somewhere in between Richard Curtis romcoms and the first two Paddington movies). I expect lots of Posh and Cockney accents and very little other regional representation (maybe one Scotsman and one or two vaguely northern sounding character).

Thoughts?

For some reason when I read about the casting a few days ago me first thought was didn’t we already know that? I could swear I already read about it weeks ago when I searched for updates on the next season and all the new castings were announced.
Am I confusing him with someone or is it the Mandela effect?

No wrong answers.
