Comedy duos are hard to come by these days and trios are virtually nonexistent. Enter Hulu’s charming and funny new series Only Murders in the Building, which stars comic heavyweights Steve Martin and Martin Short alongside pop star Selena Gomez. An unlikely trio, the three play residents of a venerable Upper West Side co-op who initially bond over a shared fascination with true-crime podcasts. When an actual murder takes place in the building, their fixation becomes a reality as they find themselves the detectives and producers of their own podcast. Part thriller, part comedy, part character drama, Only Murders in the Building offers a delightful reflection on our sparks of intrigue. —Jacob Robbins
