Who Is Tim Kono?

Selena's acting is great. It's a good show so far.

This episode naturally begins to fill in background about the victim Tim Kono, while focusing squarely on Selena Gomez's character Mabel. Well-directed flashbacks of her and the Hardy Boys group add plenty of clues and even another significant victim to the story, while keeping Mabel an enigmatic personality to consume our attention, while the comics Martin and Martin continue to amuse with their droll antics.

Fantasy elements continue to intrude on the action, and the extreme caricatures of the other neighbors are a bit much, but the show is definitely engaging, undoubtedly due to the casting of the principal trio.

There is a definite decline in quality between episode one and the second episode of this show. Selena Gomez is a big part of the problem. She cannot act and she is far too young to be with two men in their seventies on a regular basis.

Another part of the problem is the writing is not nearly as good. An episode which is less than thirty minutes seems much longer than that.

Terrible acting from filler monotone Selena Gomez to the point where you can't even try to care about her history.

So Mabel knows a lot about Tim Kono. They were childhood friends and shared a horrible night. The guys are running all over the place trying to get something for the podcast. There is a memorial service where nothing good is said about the guy. Oliver is more interested in the food being served than finding anything. Mostly, this is pretty dark.
