Spoiler-Free Review of “Only Murders in the Building” Season 5 Premiere on Hulu: Our Favorite Fall Trio is Back!

*This is a spoiler-free review for season five so feel free to read on!**

“This was no tragic accident…”

Only Murders in the Building season five premiered on Hulu on September 9th 2025. The comedy crime series will have ten episodes in total. The first three episodes are available to stream now and the remaining episodes will air weekly. The show stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Each episode runs for approximately 30-35 minutes.

Mabel, Charles, and Oliver are back to solve a new murder mystery in the building as they unlock a secret within the Arconia.

Here is the trailer:

Only Murders in the Building season 5 is jam-packed with recognizable guest stars, but is the new mystery enough to keep us coming back for more? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

The bond between our trio is still the best part of the show!

I love that our trio seems closer than ever. Mabel has gotten her own apartment now and seems more mature, but luckily she’s still around to participate in the mystery-solving.

I’m a fan of this series because it has such a cozy, Fall vibe and the episodes are short. That definitely helps me remember to tune in, but the real reason why I love this show is because of these three stars who have really elevated this series in so many ways.

More please!

A fun new mystery.

While I wouldn’t say that it has the edge that some of the earlier cases had, it’s still a lot of fun. I love that we’re back in the Arconia and exploring new parts of the building. I think there is enough potential here for sure, but I just hope things don’t go too off-track.

The Cons:

Too many guest stars…

I know that Only Murders in the Building is known for this, but this season feels a little overstuffed already. We’ve got a lot of new players in the mix and I’m worried they could take away from the magic of our core characters.

Also, I’m not sure how many more seasons we need of this series. Don’t get me wrong…I’m a fan, but things are starting to feel a touch stale and I’d rather the series go out on a high note than continue to beat an old plot to death…

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Only Murders in the Building season 5 features a new mystery with potential, but let’s hope our favorite trio gets something out of the box to do to keep things fresh.

Either way, it’s safe to say I’ll be tuning in each week.

Spoiler-Free Review of “WandaVision” on Disney+: Delightfully Intriguing

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“My wife and her flying saucers…”

WandaVision premiered on Disney+ on January 15th 2021 with the first two episodes available to stream now. There will be nine episodes in total that will air weekly. The series stars Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, and Kathryn Hahn. Each episode runs for approximately 30-35 minutes. 

If you are familiar with MCU, then you know that this series may initially seem strange and misplaced based on the events that occurred in the Avenger films. Nonetheless, we are presented with a sitcom series featuring Wanda (Scarlet Witch) and her husband, Vision. Things are not as they seem as we find ourselves trapped within a television-centric nostalgia that is not without its own unique charm and mystery.

Here is the trailer:

WandaVision may be the most unique release we have seen yet in MCU, paying its respect to timeless sitcom classics while presenting us with clever Easter eggs and the promise to unfold the mystery at hand, but does it do enough to keep viewers coming back for more? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Undeniable chemistry.

While I always noticed a spark between these two in the films, there really wasn’t enough time to devote to it with everything else going on. WandaVision gives us the chance to finally see just how charming these two can be together and I have to say that it’s even better than I could have imagined.

The love is believable and even though it’s clear that things are not as they seem, the connection between the characters keeps us invested in their well-being. Seriously, these two are adorable!

Welcomed TV nostalgia.

The show really owes a lot to series like The Dick Van Dyke Show, Bewitched, and I Love Lucy, embracing all of these classic shows effortlessly without becoming stale in the process. I especially enjoyed the second episode and was actually really laughing at several parts, allowing myself to treat this show as what it is meant to be…a sitcom.

Fantastic supporting characters and guest stars.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum, Emma Caulfield was fantastic and I always love watching Kathryn Hahn, who nailed the nosy neighbor vibe with flair. Pretty much every guest star has really added to the show and based on the cast listed, I can’t wait to see everyone else.

The Cons:

Strange and confusing.

I’m all for strange and confusing and there have already been several well placed Easter eggs and hints at a bigger mystery going on, but it is really confusing at times. Perhaps we will get to everything in the later episodes, but I think that the series can take a page out of Pleasantville’s book and give the audience just a little bit more.

That being said, I am intrigued by the mystery and love the concept of being trapped inside a television sitcom (if that’s what is actually happening here), but I think some viewers may be turned off and lose interest if we aren’t given more hints soon.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

This show is really different and unique, but it also presents us with so much charming nostalgia. I can’t wait to watch the next episodes and I think that as long as the mystery picks up, this show will develop into something truly fantastic!
