I must confess that, despite being a huge Selena fan, I tried to keep my expectations for the series not too high, because I didn't really know what to expect from the show, I had no idea how it was going to play out as I never had seen one like that before. But I admit that this strategy did not work very well. I was VERY looking forward to the premiere. Seeing her acting again in a series, and still alongside two legends, was reason enough to hold my attention. Assiduous viewer of Wizards since childhood, I already knew his gigantic talent for acting (for those who don't know it, search for Lisa's giving birth scene in Indubious Battle on YouTube - breathtaking), but despite not being surprised with the phenomenal work she does as Mabel, the character itself is a much bigger piece than I expected (and I didn't expect anything but perfection). Oliver, Charles and Mabel are a trio who don't trust each other very much, but it's been fun to see that dynamic unfold in the first three episodes. They are very different characters, but, for some reason, they work very well even when they go wrong. Mabel Mora is not only the most intriguing piece on the show, she really is the lifeblood of the show. Not only because she's connected to the case, but because her personality is so interesting, mysterious and, above all, relentless. Nothing escapes her gaze, she always has an easy answer for everything, making a meticulous and extremely surprising analysis seem obvious and inherent to her person, maybe because of the personal curiosity she carries about Tim. I dare say that in a line that is very similar to Sherlock Holmes. Charles is lonely, down-to-earth, methodical, and clearly having trouble relating and bonding with others, probably because of his anxiety preventing him from being open to new things or clinging to other people and then losing them. It's what makes your forays into getting close to Mabel so interesting. Oliver is a born creative and dreamer, who goes to great lengths to fulfill his desires or please others. He's the opposite of Charles, and maybe that's why he's the part that completes him and makes them the smartest and most curious pair of gray-haired men in New York City. The series balances the trio in a very insightful way, separating them into different pairs each episode without us even realizing it. The dynamics between the information that the characters discover and that we, viewers, manage to perceive hidden in the scenes was composed in a phenomenal way, so that, every time I watch an episode, I come across things that I hadn't noticed at the previous time. Only Murders In The Building is a mysterious, funny, calculating, intriguing and completely addictive series when we stick to the details. It is not a show to be watched without your attention being on it, at the same time it is a light work, which amuses and distracts us in a delicious and extremely fun way. Tim Kono may be the victim the characters lean on to understand his death, but the protagonists' stories become another mystery to be discovered by the audience, and Mabel, without any doubt, is the character the audience is most curious to be unraveled. I strongly recommend it!
