Spoiler free.
A pleasant and smart surprise.
If the first 2 episodes of this quirky crime comedy on Disney + are to anything to go buy this new show should be a blast. Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez star as true crime story addicts in New York, secretly investigating a murder in their apartment building. The chemistry between the 3 is electric with a standout performance from Gomez who I have to admit I’d not really seen in anything before. She shows a level of maturity that puts her in good stead with the other 2 experience actors in the trio. All 3 being on screen together really is charming.
The first 2 episodes are equal parts mysterious and funny. Especially as it’s clear that our leads our holding secrets back. Having watched countless pilot episodes I know that lots of shows can start of great but trail off into mediocrity. It can happen with the best shows and could happen with this one. However with writing this clever and the chemistry being so amazing, I can only hope that that it stays essential viewing, which at the moment it absolutely it.
