Only Murders in the Building season 4 lands near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating

BBG News

As a long-time fan of witty banter, intriguing mysteries, and the magic of Hollywood, I must say that the fourth season of “Only Murders in the Building” has truly hit the jackpot! The blend of sharp humor, celebrity cameos, and a tantalizing whodunit plot is a recipe for pure entertainment gold.

At long last, the fourth installment of “Only Murders in the Building” has made its debut, receiving an almost flawless rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In the Disney+ series, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez reprise their roles as Charles-Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora. The three amateur podcasters are expanding their reach worldwide since a movie adaptation of their adventures is being produced in Hollywood.

Upon encountering the actors portraying them – Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria – the group finds themselves inexorably pulled back into their ordinary routines, as yet another murder takes place.

Despite the larger scope of the current series, the cast and team behind the popular podcast continue to win over critics, earning an impressive 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes from their initial 29 reviews.
