Only Murders in The Building

Wiest won for Hannah and her Sisters in 1986 and Bullets Over Broadway in 1994 (interestingly she was also nominated in '89 for Parenthood which stared none other than Steve Martin!)

Randolph won for The Holdovers in 2023

and mable zero oscars but has won other award shows
 
So I guess that's a quite literal ex machina ;)

Kinda gave it away when Howard was walking with a woman in the mobility scooter in the credits.

I did like Howard's "I'm not going to be ignored." :lol:

So we now, possibly, know who the killer was (and why) but the bigger mystery is how the gang is gonna save the building! I wonder how far Pflug will go to prove to Mabel that he's a good guy?

Anyway, the mysteries has always come second place to the interactions and boy this was wonderful. From Oliver's last supper party to the return of several characters from previous seasons and Oliver and Charles' shared moment over a doorknob.
 
I was so busy last week that I never got around to episode eight, so I had two episodes to watch tonight! :D

I loved Charles and Oliver's joint therapy session, exploring the demons of their respective romantic lives...and then Williams crashed the show, complete with "Mmhm, I've been saying that from the beginning!" :lol:

The blackjack scene was a riot, too. Oddly, the moment I thought about all of the big awards wasn't in that scene, but rather the earlier table scene with Charles, Oliver, Mabel, Loretta, and Williams, but I agree the blackjack table scene is more awe-inspiring. :D

As for tonight, I love the sudden but very welcomed return of both Teddy and Theo! Were their returns a little forced? Yes. Do I care? Not one damn bit! Hopefully we'll get more of them in the finale...and maybe the return of Jan, too!

As for the mystery, I remain unconvinced that Lester murdered Nicky especially since he didn't actually tell Randall what he did. I highly suspect there's one more twist to be revealed, related directly to Howard's insight. Plus, there's still the question of Sofia's mysterious affair.

Lastly, I got a real kick out of Dylan and Becky Ann Baker's random cameo appearance two weeks ago. :lol:

i think the london location would be better if that was a spinoff of only murders in the building where it has 3 british verisons of charles mable and oliver living in a old posh upper class apartment building
 
Just finished the season. Looks like we will be getting some British actors for season 6. I’m guessing Sean Pertwee since he’s in everything

And/or Sean Bean!

Anyhoo that was great! I love that Lester did text them the identity of the murderer, and I suspected Pflug would come good in the end.

I wonder if they'll actually film in London or I'll be appalled as they pretend bits of New York are England :lol:

Some lovely moments between our trio, and some nice stuff for Howard as well, and Paul Rudd gets credited!

Bring on season 6, I can't wait!
 
what a mind boggling season 5 finale episode 10

the actual owner of the finger and the actual killer of lester i never saw those coming like who would have thought that that guy was the killer and who also would have thought that the finger was from him and it was nuts how those 3 zillionaires were witnesses of what happened

but as for the killer of nick well the vet doorman did say that he did have enough of the mob running the building underground casino

and then that ending was like what the

I was thinking it would be the Mayor, but the reveal was done really well and tied up everything from the season.

I suspected Pflug would come good in the end.
But he was perfectly fine with letting Charles, Oliver and Mabel die in the building's destuction! So not sure it should count as "coming good." Billionaires are weird.

I was happy Cinta was the victim (sorry Cinta) as I feared it would be Detective Williams. Of course they don't HAVE to kill a recurring character: Paul Rudd hadn't appeared before his murder.

I'm guessing they'll be flying back and forth between New York and England in season 6 as I doubt they'd have a whole season away from the Arconia.
 
Terrific conclusion to the season. I honestly wasn't sure if they would be able to save the Arconia, even if we knew a sixth season was coming, but I'm glad it was neatly saved as part of the fallout of the murderer reveal.

I figured there would be one last twist about Lester but it was still a relief that he didn't purposely kill Nicky...and I was right that it tied in with Sofia's affair.

I got a kick out of Oliver figuring out a way to hide a severed finger but guessed the wrong person. That was a funny reveal. :lol:

We got more Teddy but sadly no more Theo. This show needs more Theo! Jan, too!

At least now we know the how and why the show will (at least partially) take place in England. Cinta had been noticeably absent all season and now we're going to find out why. I half expected the girl with the curls was Natasha Lyonne but I figured it wouldn't be her since she isn't British...and then it turned out not to be the very person Cinta was talking about.

I wouldn't put a Daniel Craig cameo outside of possibility to continue the running gag of someone new in the penthouse every year.
I love this idea! Either him or (I know I'm obsessed) Natasha Lyonne, either way a fun Rian Johnson detective connection. :D

The Arconia is an exact duplicate of a building in London, thus allowing them to reuse the same set and not have to go anywhere. They'd have to change the electric sockets though.
That's just quirky enough for this show to work and now I'll be disappointed if it doesn't happen.
 
I finished up the season. I thought after a pretty mid season the killer reveal redeemed it. Every season seems to get weirder, this season the point seemed to be "Forget about the murder for six episodes and do satire about how bad billionaires are". Yeah billionaires are bad, but that's not the show. That aspect felt like ideological masturbation.

Season 4 and season 5 I thought were going to be the last, but then still, another murder at the end. I like the way they did this murder, a person who desperately used their last breath to try to die in the building just to get the three to take up the investigation. I'm looking forward to next season.
