Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery

Having never seen any of the Murderville series, I stumbled across this on Netflix, and I am SO happy I did. It is silly, it is nonsensical and it is improv at its very best. Will Arnett is incredibly funny and quick-witted and keeps the humour going throughout. The mini breaks in character by all of the actors keep an element of improv authenticity to it, which you can't help but chuckle at. The cameos from sports stars were great, and hats off to Kurt Braunohler who went "all out" to throw the actors off and keep the laughs coming.

All in all, it's worth committing 52 minutes of your life to.

I'm still not sure why Pete Davidson bothered showing up.

This was exactly the Christmas cheer I needed.

I've missed Murderville and been awaiting a Season 2 announcement since the day Season 1 debuted.

Jason Bateman and Will Arnett are an incredible team. Arrested Development fans - there's a shout out or two for you along the way.

The assistant was hilarious. Pete Davidson was hilarious. Maya Rudolph gave a solid performance. Sean Hayes was hilarious. Marshawn Lynch stole the show, just like he did in Season 1.

While this obviously doesn't guarantee future episodes, it was a great revitalization of the show.

Cast is amazing. Improv during show was hilarious. Insanely grateful to have found this.

I'm a fan of the original series (and hopes it get a second season) and I'm glad they were able to do this Xmas themed episode which was perfect for the format. I love the fact that they bring back previous guests to do a cameo and the fact that the actor playing Santa is just playing dead is quite funny every time he moves when he's not supposed to. There is a lot of possibilities with this series and this Xmas episode just scratches the surface as supporting characters (and red herrings) are given a lot of room to breathe (even if it's all in good fun). If you're a fan of the series you will definitely enjoy this although newcomers may need time to get used to the format and unconventional storytelling.

I genuinely hope this gets picked up for additional episodes.

The joy derived from this show is at it's heart not about the story; it's not about how good the improv is. It's about the experience, and it's just funny.

Everyone involved is outwardly having a good time. Unless you're sporting a cold dead heart that's been stabbed by a well-licked candy cane, you should be too.

I've enjoyed the spectrum of all the guests and the different ways they've handled being thrown into the fire every single time.

Specifically though, this Christmas special delivered. Phenomenal chemistry all around. If you like Maya Rudolph and Jason Bateman, you're getting full blown Maya and Jason.

Talking specifics would cheapen the jokes, so I'll just say my biggest laugh of the entire run of this show happened in this episode.

9/10.

Batman and Bateman, of course, brought it and Maya Rudolph is adorable. She looked like she was having fun and looked hilarious in her basketball uniform. The scene with Sean Hayes breaking character during mouth to mouth had me cracking up. Showing Marshawn Lynch's scare Bateman was hilarious as well.

So, I've heard of Pete Davidson, obviously and I'm aware he is a comedian.... This was the first time I've ever seen him in anything and wow what a disappointment. The guy pretty much stood there, smiling and reacting, like he was an audience member.

Aren't you a professional comedian...? I would be surprised if anyone said that they liked his appearance in this... at least he was only in it for the last ten minutes or so.

Please do more of these Arnett. They are fun to see the actors doing improv.
