The trio of residents turned podcast investigators are back for another season and despite the strikes, this time it's a largely all star cast. Paul Rudd, Meryl Streep, Mel Brooks and even Matthew Broderick are all in this one. Plus of course the main three stars that are Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. The former two having worked together on numerous other projects before doing this while Gomez was a singer for a while. Anyway, it may not be an October sort of thing like Ahsoka, but it does involve something that is featured a great deal in a lot of horrors, thrillers and even comedies. Anyway let's see what case they will be solving this time:
So in the finale of season 2, a Broadway play, which this season reveals as the comeback play for Oliver (reprised by Short) and his podcast buddy Charles (reprised by Martin) stars in it, goes wrong on opening night when the leading actor, Ben Glenroy (played by Rudd), suddenly collapses on stage during the performance. It's later revealed that he survived and claims to have had food poisoning, but then collapses again, this time, dead for real. Charles, Oliver and Mabel (reprised by Gomez) set out to, once again, solve another murder and get it onto their podcast, leading into the usual shenanigans of the trio among other things too.
While the ending to each season of the show, has started to become a little predictable as to what will happen in the final scenes of the season finale, it's still a solid series that does well in making a genre that is usually not a comedy, into a comedy that succeeds in not using the lowest forms of humour and not using the same gags over and over again. It has a bit of sophistication to it, and it's just a very entertaining show that continues to be as such with this third season. Not sure what to expect in season 4, but no doubt there will be another case to solve. 8/10
