Okay, let's talk Only Murders In The Building. Specifically, Season 2. Remember that? It feels like a distant, glamorous fever dream, doesn’t it?
When did it start, anyway? My brain is a scrambled egg when it comes to dates. Was it last year? Two years ago? Time is a flat circle, especially when you're binge-watching TV.
The Mystery of the Missing Premiere Date
I swear, remembering the Season 2 release date is harder than solving a Bunny Folger murder. And, frankly, I think Bunny was a *tad* dramatic, don't you?
I Googled it. I even asked my friend who claims to have a photographic memory. Nada. Just a vague sense of "summer 2022." Helpful. Real helpful.
Look, I have an unpopular opinion: Season 2 was…fine. Good, even! But did it reach the dizzying heights of Season 1? Mmm, I’m not convinced.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)
Don't get me wrong, I love Selena Gomez's deadpan delivery. And Steve Martin and Martin Short are comedic geniuses. But something felt…off.
Maybe it was the pressure of following up such a perfect first season. Or maybe it was the convoluted plot involving Rose Cooper and secret paintings. I don’t know!
Honestly, I spent half of Season 2 trying to remember who was who. And did Poppy actually talk that entire time?
A Deep Dive (Kind Of)
Think about it. Season 1 was tight, focused, and had that claustrophobic Arconia atmosphere. It was *chef's kiss*.
Season 2 felt like it was trying to do too much. New characters, sprawling backstories, and a murderer that, let's be honest, wasn't *quite* as compelling as Jan.
And don't even get me started on the celebrity cameos. Amy Schumer playing herself? A bit too on the nose, wouldn't you say?
I am not saying it's bad. It is just that season 1 was almost impossible to match.
So, Back to the Premiere Date...
Okay, focus. We still haven’t pinned down that darn Season 2 start date. Am I the only one who feels like it’s a conspiracy?
Maybe the Arconia has some kind of time-bending anomaly. Or maybe Cinda Canning is behind it all, trying to control the narrative (as always).
Whatever the reason, I'm officially declaring it a mystery worthy of its own podcast. "The Case of the Vanishing Premiere Date." Catchy, right?
In the end, all that matters is that we have more Only Murders In The Building to look forward to. Even if Season 2 was a *little* bit messy.
So, let's raise a glass (of Gut Milk, perhaps?) to Mabel, Charles, and Oliver. And to hoping that Season 4 brings back that Season 1 magic.
And if anyone actually *does* remember the Season 2 premiere date, please let me know. My sanity depends on it.
