Summary
The last day in the life of Bunny, played by Jayne Houdyshell.
Honestly I am not really digging this season of Only Murders In The Building, and I think that it is just being stretched out for the sake of stuff to put on Disney +. As I have said in earlier reviews the mystery this time around is not particularly interesting and unlike with the first season you don’t care about what is going on. To be frank I could stop watching this show right here and not miss it at all.
However, something that I will give this episode credit for is that it at least takes a chance and tries to do something new. Rather than focus on the central trio we get to see a day in the life of a fairly important side character, and not many shows would dedicate a whole episode to a supporting character in this way so that was pretty cool as it helped to flesh out the wider world of the show.
Although through this focus on another character this episode highlights our central trio in a less than stellar light. I do understand that the point of this episode’s shifted perspective is to reframe things, but it does this a little too well and clearly illustrates all the worst traits of our lead characters and makes them unlikeable. The charm of the show is really gone after this episode.
Overall, I might stop watching as I don’t want to continue watching a once promising show continue to drag itself through the mud.
Pros.
Be brave enough to focus on a smaller character
It is watchable
It makes you care more about Bunny
Cons.
It is fairly dull
The mystery doesn’t seem to be leading anywhere
The leads are unlikeable
