		Thomas Smith NME	"[3rd Season Review]: In lesser hands, 'Only Murders…' could have become just another statistic in the cosy crime boom; instead, we’re treated to a must-watch mystery romp. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Leila Latif The Guardian	"[3rd Season Review]: Meryl Streep helps make the best season ever (...) It’s more fun, the chemistry between the amateur sleuths almost crackles, and the guests are stellar (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Alison Herman Variety	"[3rd Season Review]: it no longer needs to establish itself (...) Instead, the show is free to cash in on its status with stars of Streep’s caliber, then integrate those actors into a story that increasingly has the makings of an adaptable institution"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[3rd Season Review]: Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd add to the comic muscle in Season 3 (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[3rd Season Review]: it is still breezy fun but could have used sharper writing"

		Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: a superb return"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: It’s trying to do even more things at this point, and it’s only doing one or two well — though that may be enough for now, if not long-term"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"[3rd Season Review]: There are just certain parts of the entertainment experience missing in Season Three, which is strange to say given how much fun its wacky musical numbers can be"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: it is a smartly staged celebration of actors"
		Pat Brown Slant	"[3rd Season Review]: The series displays some of the inevitable wear of a concept that has already gotten more mileage than anticipated (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Josh Spiegel SlashFilm	"[3rd Season Review]: We now have more than two years' worth of proof that, as funny as Steve Martin and Martin Short are together, they make an inexplicably delightful combination with Selena Gomez"
		Olly Richards Empire	"[3rd Season Review]: It’s more of the same, and what more could you want? It’s still plush, escapist and ridiculous (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Rachel Labonte Screen Rant	"[Crítica 3ª temporada]: Thanks to a winning cast (now including two major stars) and an enticing new mystery, 'Only Murders in the Building' still remains light on its feet."
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"[3rd Season Review]: [it] remains one of the sharpest comedies on television in a third outing that feels less harried and inconsistent than the sophomore season"
		Belen Edwards Mashable	"[Crítica 3ª temporada]: [It] retains its cast's killer chemistry and superb wit, but the extra focus on the theatrical provides refreshing new complications to the Charles-Oliver-Mabel dynamic"
		Samantha Nelson IGN	"[3rd Season Review]: While the show still delivers some strong performances from this season’s guest stars Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep, it’s lost sight of what made the first two seasons of the true-crime spoof so compelling."
		Remus Noronha Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: Season 3 carries a lot more emotional weight and personal drama than previous seasons (...) It may not be perfect, but it is a hell of a show"
		Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"[3rd Season Review]: Together, Martin Short and Meryl Streep spark up the screen, demanding that audiences stay hooked on 'Only Murders in the Building'"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[2nd Season Review]: In its second outing, 'Only Murders' no longer has its element of surprise (...) But that’s the only thing this show has lost (...) the Hulu whodunit comedy is as strong as ever in its second outing."
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: As in season one what elevates Only Murders in the Building beyond a run-of-the-mill crime drama is that it does care about those run-of-the-mill tragedies"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[2nd Season Review]: Hulu’s murder mystery/podcast satire mashup maintains its self-aware charm while presenting a shaggier narrative this time around"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"[2nd Season Review]: Even if the show can almost feel too airy and weightless at times, the comedy timing is almost sharper than in the first year as the cast has become more comfortable in their characters."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Hulu’s remodel is a bit messy, but still shines (...) Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short recapture the magic, more or less"
		Josh Spiegel SlashFilm	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Only Murders In The Building' gets explosive in a glittery new installment"
		Emma Kiely Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: The trio is back with more blood but less charm (...) a sloppy, unrefined follow-up"
		Tom Jorgensen IGN	"[2nd Season Review]: The lead trio’s chemistry remains a the central question of who murdered Bunny Folger proves to be a strong enough throughline to anchor 'Only Murders'’ 2nd season through some of its sophomore slumping"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[1st Season Review]: The plot is satisfyingly twisty and engaging, and our heroes all feel wholly three-dimensional in short order (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"[1st Season Review]: [The good news] is that it’s just about as funny and charming as one would expect from a murder mystery involving Steve Martin, Martin Short [and Selena Gomez]. And there’s little bad news, really"
		Gregory Lawrence Collider	"[1st Season Review]: It's bold but calm, terrifying but comforting, sad but silly, satirical but empathetic — and it's all of these things served to you by chefs who trust you, because you trust them"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: Sometimes it’s very clever, sometimes it’s very obvious, sometimes it’s desperate in ways that reflect the underlying desperation that these characters are living. And then sometimes it’s just desperate."
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[1st Season Review]: [It] stars an unlikely but appealing true-crime trio (...) [It has] moments of genuine emotion and heart (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Kelly Lawler USA Today	"[1st Season Review]: 'Murders' is smiley-sweet with a genuinely compelling mystery at its center. Escapist and sweet, it has the same engrossing appeal as the podcasts the characters love so much (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"[1st Season Review]: A solid, star-filled comic mystery that's at its best when it chooses character over broad comedy."
		Caroline Framke Variety	"[1st Season Review]: The intricacies of the people and setting of 'Only Murders' are what ultimately make the show such a pleasure to dive into, and so easy to marathon without necessarily intending to"
		Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"[1st Season Review]: The series may give each of the lead actors a splendid opportunity to showcase their particular strengths (...) Good harmony that promises more delights in the weeks ahead"
