Again to the starting point
Fifth season Only murders in the buildingIt begins with a turn that violates the obvious calm of the closure of the previous one. After the permission of the case of Satsets Pataki (Jane Lynch), Oliver begins a new scene with Loretta Durkin (Meryl Streep). And in fact, everything in conclusion seemed to indicate at least a period of relative calm in the excited life of the central trio. But the joy lasts little: Leicester (Teddy Koluk), Goalkeeper ArkoniaIt seems dead in suspicious circumstances.
Officially, there are talk about the accident, but there are more than one detail that makes the unique team Mabel, Oliver and Charles to suspect that nothing is so simple. One of the best seasons is that the decision to resume the conspiracy of the murder in ArkoniaAllows the series to return to your origin. Thus, the argument is developing Around the secret, which not only affects the main characters, but also the building itself.

Old mafia, led by such figures as Nicky (Bobby Cannawal) and Sofia Kashimelio (Leoni tea), as in the case of new corporate magnates, such as Bash Steed (Christoph Waltz), Jay Pflug (Logan Lerman) and Camila White (Renee Zeleveger).
Thus, the plot of the season expands the map of enemies and suspects, moving between classic and modern. In one of the most exciting turns of the series, finally, the secrets of the building seem as interesting as any crime between its walls.

Great characters in their best
The weight of new characters this season is significant, but the central trio does not overshadow. On the contrary, the antagonists function as mirrors of what they collected Charles, Oliver and Mabel. For example, Bash, Jay and Camila represent the arrogance of a powerful, obvious contrast with the main characters who move more for attachment and curiosity than for economic interest. The script uses these figures as stress catalysts, without turning them into simple cartoons.
The same applies to a portrait of artificial intelligence through a robotic assistant Lesrwhich partially replaces Leicester after his death. The robot, although raised as a comment on dehumanization and unreliability, also serves as a source of comedy, especially when interacting with Howard (Michael Cyril Craiton). Here the series risks: it touches on the current and contradictory problem, but it is in danger to sound too literally. Despite this, he receives inventive moments that facilitate the weight of secrets.
The season plays with two fronts together: social criticism and easy entertainment. And although this does not always reach the perfect balance, the truth is that he supports attention thanks to the flexible rhythm and authenticity of his main characters who remain the heart of history. In addition, that is, it is more obvious than when the liba, showing the maturity of their researchers and, as a new case, allows them not only to strengthen connections. Also understand how extremely necessary with each other.

Even his method of clothing transfers a large organization and safety, although the arrival of the old friend of Altey “The” (Beanie Feldstein) removes memories and weaknesses that, as he believed, surpassed. This mixture of strength and vulnerability makes Maib an exciting character, And, possibly, the most identified for the young public.
Charles Hayden Savage (Steve Martin), on the contrary, lives a more introspective process. His friends are moving at new stages, and he is afraid to be behind. The season shows this by studying the online meeting and thinking about their romantic choice, especially their tendency to be interested in complex women And morally dubious, such as Sofia (Leoni tea) or Jan Bellowe (Amy Ryan).
