Here's my reaction and review of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building Season 5 episodes 1, 2, and 3 as I dive into everything Charles, Mabel, and Oliver, and some possible suspects in Lester & Nicky's deaths. Stick around for my clue & theory corner where I dive into some frigid ideas, including the link to Pabo Neruda's "Death Alone" poem and...a possible Antarctic bird nickname connection?From Hulu: Season 5 finds Charles-Haden Savage (played by Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) confronting the shocking death of their beloved doorman Lester, while the mob creeps into the Arconia’s storied halls. The ten-episode run blends sharp investigative puzzles with the trio’s razor-sharp banter and New York City charm.Watch on YouTube + subscribe for weekly reviews.👉 Official Merch: https://media-melanie-talks-tv.myspre...👉 Shop My Faves: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mediamelanie (affiliate)👉 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/MediaMelanie

I drop three videos a week on "The Buccaneers" Season 2! Don't miss my next episode preview and theory/discussion videos!

From ⁠‪Apple TV+‬: In the first season of “The Buccaneers," a group of fun-loving young American girls exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s…setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders - England is their home. In fact they’re practically running the place. Nan is the Duchess of Tintagel, the most influential woman in the country. Conchita is Lady Brightlingsea, heroine to a wave of young American heiresses. And Jinny is on every front-page, wanted for the kidnap of her unborn child. All of the girls have been forced to grow up and now have to fight to be heard, as they wrestle with romance, lust, jealousy, births and deaths... themes consuming all women of any age, no matter what year it is. Last time we got a taste of England. This time we’re in for a veritable feast.
