Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
