Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery

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.

If you are a fan of Improv and The Murderville series you will fall right in line (unscripted) and enjoy this short series. If Escape Rooms were to turn into improv style puzzle this will be it! It's interactive, funny and quick on your feet.

If you have not seen Murderville or a fan of improv, watch this episode because it's pure comedy and it's less than an hour ( 52 minutes).

And if you do not like it, just can make up the 52 minutes that you lost by scrolling through your phone for hours.

Will Arnett and Jason Bateman are great, I sense some Arrested Development character feel on their improv. Maya Rudolph was her Saturday night live self. So Watch Murderville and Who Killed Santa and trust me you will not regret it.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

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 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.

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!
