Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery

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'm a huge fan of Arnett and Bateman, and gave a perfect 10 to the original series because it absolutely cracked me up at every turn, specifically Conan, Marshawn Lynch, and Kumail Nanjiani.

I didn't laugh quite as much in this one, and I think maybe part of it was the format of having 3 'detectives' at once. Bateman had some hilarious scenes before Maya Rudolph showed up, and then I think it just got too... complex. They couldn't really play off of each other.

Don't get me wrong, Rudolph is great, particularly in Idiocracy and Brooklyn 99, but in terms of creative improv she was kind of a dud. Didn't really laugh much at anything she did.

And then for some dumb reason they brought in Pete Davidson for the last 10 minutes, who I still to this day struggle to see why anyone thinks is funny. Just basically came in and messed the whole thing up. Truly the Britta of the comedy universe.

Started off great, ended with a fizzle. I sort of wish that the guest stars would have tried a bit more and gotten more into it. I've seen dozens of live improv shows and it's easy to tell when people are dialing it in.

And he seems like a chill guy, but for the love of Pete, no more Davidson.

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.

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.

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.
