RAMROD 109,724 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The show is currently rated 100% fresh on RT Some selection of reviews of many: (full article may contain apoilers, be warned) But the series’ real revelation is Gomez, whose teen celebrity status probably precedes her in the minds of many. As Mabel, the semi-femme fatale who knows more about the murder than she’s letting on, Gomez has a much heavier lift than her male counterparts. Unlike them, she’s not in her wheelhouse, and she is playing very much against type. She’s also saddled with some of the least sparkling dialogue, which at times (hopefully deliberately) crosses into dime-store-novel tripe. And yet she carries the series, giving it a center of gravity around which both older actors can orbit. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/hulu-s-only-murders-building-screamingly-funny-parody-true-crime-ncna1278186 The addition of Gomez—who plays Mabel, a sardonic artist and fellow tenant with a shared podcast obsession—might seem discordant. Yet in pitting Martin and Short’s established routine opposite her wild-card casting, the showevolves from a straightforward parody of true-crime podcasts and their devoted listeners into a goofy yet endearing examination of the generational divide. https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2021/08/only-murders-in-the-building-hulu-tv-review/619932/ Few newcomers could easily insinuate themselves into such a classic partnership, let alone match their combined energy signature. And yet where other actors might have come off as a smaller third wheel next to Martin's bursts of lunacy and Short's controlled absurdity, Gomez is the stabilizing force that makes this unlikely crime-solving trio work. With that in mind, inviting Gomez and Mabel into his and Short's universe to play along with Charles and Oliver is a natural choice. While Martin's and Short's alter egos aren't too far off from what we know about their specific stage presence, Mabel and Gomez stretch that familiar alliance in unexpected ways. https://www.salon.com/2021/08/31/only-murders-in-the-building-review-hulu/ Are you watching this show?

Guest Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I wasn't aware of this series. I'm gonna check it out. I need something to fill the hole in my heart that the hiatus of handmaid's tale has left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versace 7,979 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I too always felt that Selena had some serious acting skills. Especially as a kid in WOWP, she displayed skills beyond her age. I think her acting took a back seat for her music career, while I do love a lot of her songs, it’s undeniable that her acting skills surpass her vocal capabilities.
