From Only Murders in the Building
Only Murders in the Building Season 1 earns a low 2/10 woke score by sticking to classic murder-mystery storytelling, clue-hunting, and character backstories like those of Charles, Oliver, and Mabel without any identity politics or social messaging.
Only Murders in the Building Season 1 centers on a traditional murder-mystery premise: three neighbors—Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez)—bond over true-crime podcasts after a resident's death in their Upper West Side building and launch their own investigation and podcast.
Episode plots focus on clue-gathering, character backstories like Mabel's childhood friend group and Tim Kono's secrets, and interpersonal lies, with no foundational reliance on identity politics, systemic oppression narratives, or critiques of traditional norms.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
