Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery

These are absolutely fantastic! Massive kudos to the guest actors and Will Arnett for their performances.

Jason Bateman and Maya Rudolph were geniuses in this episode with Jason barely chuckling ocassionally at the natural silliness that was unfolding.

I laughed so hard at one point I was crying. This is not for folks looking for slapstick humour - this is dark sarcastic comedy at its finest! I imagine the negative reviews are from folks who just aren't into sarcasm.

The subtle nuances and clues and set touches really keep you on your toes to keep looking for the details!

Please - make more of these - for every season! They are fantastic!

I'll watch anything with Jason Bateman in it and I was total unaware of the series. I was a bit confused why it was a little clunky at first so I paused and looked it up to then realized it was improv.

I finished it and actually liked it. However, I went back and binged the series to get a good idea what I was watching, and then watched this one again, and loved it!

Once you realize they are basically clueless, you can enjoy the reactions.

You have to just understand what it is first.

I feel like some of the low ratings were either because they were confused like I was or don't enjoy this type of comedy.

You're not rating an Oscar genre movie or even a typical comedy. You're watching sketch and should probably just take it for what it is.

Arnette was born to do this show. He seems like he could do this in his sleep, he is so natural at it.

This was probably the mist fun episode of the series. And partnering up Bateman and Rudolph was fun due to seeing them bounce off of each other instead of being left alone.

I was like an excited kid watching this because it was the first time in a long while that I just shut my brain off and had fun for an hour. It is just stupid, silly fun.

And it would have been perfect except for Pete Davidson showing up last minute. My constant grin literally sunk when he showed up. I'm sick of seeing his face. His 15 minutes really should be up by now. I'm tired of seeing someone who isn't funny, and just kills time with random laughing instead of being professional, getting so many opportunities. HE'S NOT FUNNY and he sucks at everything. Let him go away.

Detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett) takes on Jason Bateman as his new trainee. They go to the mayor's office party. The lights go out and Santa is murdered. Johnny Blaze (Sean Hayes) is the volunteer Santa Claus. Pete Davidson and Maya Rudolph later join as more trainees.

It's stupid fun. Bateman, Rudolph, and Davidson are all kept in the dark with the script. They are essentially doing improv while Will Arnett throws comedic roadblocks in their way. Bateman is a sarcastic b and he gives as good as he takes. Sean Hayes is the one who cannot stop laughing. He is a giggle machine. Rudolph is as quick as anyone else. It's nice for these guys to have some stupid fun.

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.
