"Only Murders in the Building" [View all]

This stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, on Hulu.

It landed on more than one critic's 'best' list. It's supposed to be a comedy, but I haven't cracked a smile yet. It would have been more successful as more zany and slapstick. As it is it's muddled and forced.

Those critics are seeing something that I don't.
