This season premiered with three amazing episodes, the second best start (the third season has the best first three episodes title) of the series, so you are lead to believe this season will be amazing, however this idea doesn't materialise itself. Weekly we would get new episodes with bad storytelling and dialogue, so the other seven episodes of the season are mediocre, at best.
The plot is weak, the progression is very slow and at times it feels like some parts were overstretched as if the writers didn't consider the whole season so they had to add a lot of filler and loose ends - even if they carelessly "solved" some of those - to meet the runtime of the episode. Not to talk about the retcon, Lester seemed like a nice fella, but some (new) things just don't match, the writers had to create a way to further the bond Lester had with the building and the main trio (especially them) and if you rewatch earlier seasons, you don't see the camaraderie they imply in this season. I understand why they did it, but it just shows that if they don't even seem to plan within the same season, let alone many seasons ahead.
I reckon, though, that seeing Mabel with more lines in this season, in comparison to the last season, is very appealing and the trio has good chemistry. On the other hand, they had Christoph Waltz and Renée Zellweger and that was the best they could do with their characters? What a waste of their talents. I would put Téa Leoni in this mix, but she is so charming, she worked her way through with those scenes she was given.
As for the ending, yes, we will probably have a sixth season, after all there is a new victim. It was curious seeing people's theories online who would be the next "murdered" in the building. My only doubt is: considering how this new victim dies, what will the next season be like? Will it be something more serious or will they keep the goofiness at the current level? Because, lets be honest, Only Murders IS goofy, but it isn't a cute goofy anymore, it is too much. I do hope that they tone this goofiness down, bring it back to season1 or 3 levels, it has its silly moments, but, they can be serious too.
