When I first found "Only Murders In The Building", I thought it was clever, funny and kept me wondering what would happen next. Season Two picked up nicely where one had left off. The dialogue was great.

However, Season three found me feeling as though they were undoing what made this show unusual.

Now we are at Season 4 and it's like a piece of gum after you chewed it for an half an hour. It's tastelessly bland, uninteresting and more trouble than it's worth.

Sad, really. Martin and Short are great together and Gomez was tolerable. Adding all these cameos was a big mistake. They didn't need any more than the cast on hand in the 2 initial seasons.

It's very disappointing that the powers that be at the ABC were compelled to recycle the name of a great show including the characters' names in a mediocre at best sitcom.

The original show was filled with excellent actors and scripts that made us laugh or cry. This new show is a cringeworthy effort while packing in every current political correctness topic in a half an hour show.

Where as the new version has a few good actors, no doubt the script lets them down. Denise Scott has always been funny, but even she can't save this pathetic drivel. Matt Okine may be a good actor but he's definitely no Garry McDonald, despite the moustache.

The new version is just trying too hard.

The characters, the story are not worthy of the a Star Trek name. It's nothing more than a teenage angst fest.
