Preview: The 7 series that will give more to talk about in September
Controversy: Spike Lee and his 9/11 documentary with conspiracy theory included
For some time now,
the
true crime
phenomenon has
not
stopped
growing
.
This genre, which recreates a real crime in detail, is parodied in
Only Murders in the Building
, the new Star series on Disney +.
To subscribe to Disney + you can access here.
With a successful mix of comedy and mystery, this production is giving a lot to talk about.
Its basis is the peculiar investigation that three neighbors (played by
Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez
) carry out as a result of the
death of an unknown person in their building in New York.

A MYSTERY IN SMALL DOSES
Like the podcast that the three main characters listen to, the series unravels details that increase the interest of viewers to know more.
Charles (Steve Martin)
, an actor who lives off a series that hit many years ago;
Oliver (Martin Short)
, a director in low hours and
Mabel (Selena Gomez)
, a young and enigmatic artist, are the protagonists of this story.
One day, following a death
(in theory, a suicide) that occurred in the elegant building on the Upper West Side of New York where they live, they decide to join forces.
The three are addicted to a podcast that recreates a crime
and, faced with the real opportunity that is presented to them, they
decide to become investigators
of what happened very close to them.
Steve Martin is the protagonist, producer and screenwriter of the Disney + series.
Who the dead man was, what happened or who could have committed the murder serves as the basis for a plot in which, little by little, we verify that they are the ones who have more secrets to hide than the deceased.
THE THEATER OF LIFE ... AND DEATH
The series is
set in a luxurious and elegant building in New York
.
And almost all the scenes take place inside.
Uniting this detail with the occupations of two of the protagonists (one, an actor; the other, a theater director), leads us to think that it is a series with a very theatrical staging.
The entrances and exits of the characters and their few interactions with secondary characters bear
many similarities to plays
in which all the focus is placed on a few characters to, in this way, attend to the details surrounding the crime to be solved ... already secondary characters providing key details.
Although there are quite a few flashbacks, its function is to
reveal the past of the protagonists with a dropper.
On the other hand, that Charles, Oliver and Mabel
record a podcast telling their progress
seems like a success when it comes to making a plot reminiscent of the Agatha Christie classics more current.
The main characters of this fiction live in a luxurious building in New York.
A TRIO OF STARS
For the youngest,
Selena Gomez
is a great attraction when watching this series.
The actress, singer and influencer
enjoys worldwide fame
and never ceases to amaze with every professional step she takes.
After having been
a Disney girl
, singer and actress, one of her last film jobs (
Rainy Day in New York
) led her to put herself
under the command of Woody Allen.
For their part,
Martin Short and Steve Martin are two icons of comedy in the United States
of the last third of the last century.
If Short was in
Three Friends
,
The Wonder Chip
and
Mars Attacks!
, Steve Martin did it in
Better alone than in bad company
,
The father of the bride
or
Sergeant Bilko
.
Past and present united in a project in which the three, in addition to being protagonists at the same level, appear as
executive producers
of
Only murders in the building
.
And, in the case of Steve Martin, also as a screenwriter.
