1 | 1 | "True Crime" | Jamie Babbit | Steve Martin & John Hoffman | August 31, 2021 | 1DWB01 |
Charles-Haden Savage, a misanthropic former television actor; Oliver Putnam, a struggling Broadway director; and Mabel Mora, an apartment renovator, live in the Arconia. By chance, the three of them meet on an elevator, joined by Tim Kono on the phone. Later, after evacuating the building for an alarm, they bond over their shared love of a certain true crime podcast. They learn that there was a death in the Arconia, and sneak back inside, where they see Tim, dead. The investigators believe it was suicide, but the three think otherwise; they find more and more evidence, such as Tim's frantic phone call on the elevator and a package addressed to him that contained an engagement ring. Meanwhile, Oliver struggles with his relationship with his son, Charles discusses his need for solitude, and Mabel expresses her fear of getting personal with people. They start a podcast titled Only Murders in the Building as they continue to investigate. An old photo is shown of Mabel and the friends she dubbed "My Hardy Boys", which unexpectedly includes Tim. The episode begins with a flashforward set two months after the trio's first meeting in which Charles and Oliver find Mabel kneeling over a dead body. | ||||||
2 | 2 | "Who Is Tim Kono?" | Jamie Babbit | Kirker Butler | August 31, 2021 | 1DWB02 |
Charles and Oliver try to learn more about who Tim was, and along with Mabel they attend a memorial service for him. It is revealed that he was unpopular among many Arconia residents and had several complaints filed against him, with the most prominent emotion expressed being relief that the death of the asthmatic Tim allows the building to reopen the apartments' fireplaces. The trio go into Tim's apartment to find more clues, but their lack of trust in one another makes things tense. Mabel privately records a video that reveals that she has known Tim since they were children, bonding over The Hardy Boys books and solving pretend mysteries together. As they grew older, they added new friends Oscar and Zoe. One night, 10 years earlier, the four attended a New Year's Eve party on the roof of the building, and Zoe was later found dead. As he and Zoe had been arguing earlier in the evening, Oscar was arrested for her murder, but Tim told Mabel that he had seen someone else fighting with Zoe before she died. He did not disclose this to the police, causing a rift between him and Mabel. Later, Mabel revisits Tim's apartment and finds a cache of jewelry and some of her old drawings. | ||||||
3 | 3 | "How Well Do You Know Your Neighbors?" | Gillian Robespierre | Ben Smith | August 31, 2021 | 1DWB03 |
Charles, Oliver, and Mabel all think Howard is a prime suspect, as they found his cat's pawprints in Tim's blood. Bunny threatens to evict Oliver if he does not pay his building fees. He goes to his old associate Teddy, begging for money; after initially refusing, Teddy agrees to sponsor the podcast. Later, Oliver sees Sting in the elevator, and thinks he may also be a suspect. Mabel comes across a note from Tim detailing a meeting in one week with somebody identified only as "G.M." Oliver discovers a threatening note on his door and that Winnie, his bulldog, has been poisoned, presumably by the same perpetrator. | ||||||
4 | 4 | "The Sting" | Gillian Robespierre | Kristin Newman | September 7, 2021 | 1DWB04 |
Oliver suspects that Sting poisoned Winnie and enlists the help of Charles and Mabel to prove he is guilty of both Winnie's poisoning and Tim's murder. After consulting Cinda Canning, the host of their favorite podcast, the trio present Sting with a turkey and question him about Tim, revealed to be Sting's former stockbroker. Sting guiltily confesses that, after Tim lost a substantial sum of his money, he angrily fired Tim and told him to kill himself, but is relieved when the trio announce that they believe Tim's death was murder, not suicide. Meanwhile, Charles goes on a date with Jan. It is a disaster, but she agrees to a second date when Charles later shares a personal story with her. Mabel finds a connection to the jewelry she found in Tim's apartment and Oliver's son, Will, reveals that he remembers Mabel from their youth and her connection to Tim. A flash forward to a few months later reveals that Charles, Oliver, and Mabel are the subject of Cinda Canning's new podcast, Only Murderers in the Building. | ||||||
5 | 5 | "Twist" | Don Scardino | Thembi L. Banks | September 14, 2021 | 1DWB05 |
Mabel is being followed by "Tie-Dye Guy", who turns out to be her old friend Oscar, recently released from prison for Zoe's murder. He offers to drive her wherever she is going, which turns out to be Bayport, New York, on Long Island. Charles and Oliver see Mabel leaving the Arconia, so they follow her to Bayport. They end up in a tattoo parlor there, where Mabel finally admits that she knew Tim. Oscar admits that he is "Tie-Dye Guy", but says he did not murder Tim; he was, however, outside Tim's door when he heard a gunshot. | ||||||
6 | 6 | "To Protect and Serve" | Don Scardino | Madeleine George & Kim Rosenstock | September 21, 2021 | 1DWB06 |
Oscar and Mabel appear to have feelings for each other. Mabel's mother does not want her involved in Tim's murder investigation, but Mabel asserts her independence on this matter. Detective Williams starts having second thoughts about closing Tim's case too quickly, so she surreptitiously gives Mabel Tim's phone. Teddy is thrilled that his business is mentioned on Jimmy Fallon's show, and writes Charles and Oliver a check for $50,000. Charles notices that the check is drawn from an "Angel" account, which is the name of the person that Tim had been dealing with for jewelry. | ||||||
7 | 7 | "The Boy from 6B" | Cherien Dabis | Stephen Markley & Ben Philippe | September 28, 2021 | 1DWB07 |
Teddy's son Theo spies on the trio and breaks in to take photos of their suspect board, relaying to his father that the podcast is on to them, but Teddy dismisses the concerns. Charles and Mabel break into Teddy's apartment and discover a secret room of urns from a funeral home. They narrowly avoid Theo, who later notices a rubber glove they left behind. While Oliver and Mabel leave to investigate the funeral home, Charles has a date with Jan. At the funeral home, the two discover a secret room with jewelry. Theo is working there and stealing items off the bodies, and soon notices Oliver and Mabel. Flashbacks reveal that Theo had a crush on Zoe, who noticed and communicated back in ASL. Another flashback reveals Theo spying as Zoe takes a ring from Teddy's apartment, which Teddy notices during the New Year's Eve party. After an argument, Theo accidentally pushes Zoe off the roof. Tim is the only witness, but an implied death threat from Teddy silences him. Back in the present, Theo has kidnapped Oliver and Mabel, driving them to an unknown location, but not before they send texts to Charles telling him the password to Tim's phone might be "THEO". Note: There is no audible dialogue throughout, which includes scenes from Theo's perspective, whose deafness prevents him from hearing anything. | ||||||
8 | 8 | "Fan Fiction" | Cherien Dabis | Matteo Borghese & Rob Turbovsky | October 5, 2021 | 1DWB08 |
Teddy returns Mabel and Oliver to the Arconia on the condition that they end the podcast and absolve the Dimas family of suspicion. Back at the building, Mabel and Oliver are swarmed by "superfans" of the podcast. Detective Williams suggests the trio release all their evidence on the podcast. Oscar shares that Tim already had Zoe's green ring when he died, although its whereabouts are unknown. Desperate for a new perspective on the case, Oliver invites the podcast's superfans to help the group solve Tim's murder in time for their abrupt series finale. Charles is distracted by Jan, and Mabel and Oliver force her out of the investigation. Jan returns to her apartment, where she finds a warning note on the door that reads: "I'M WATCHING YOU". The podcast finale premieres, complete with evidence of the Dimases' crimes. Williams doubts the Dimases' involvement in the murder when Tim's autopsy reveals death by poisoning. Security footage from the fire alarm proves Teddy and Theo were not in the building. Charles visits Jan's apartment, where he finds her unconscious and bleeding. | ||||||
9 | 9 | "Double Time" | Jamie Babbit | John Hoffman & Kristin Newman | October 12, 2021 | 1DWB09 |
On their podcast, the trio retract their accusation of Teddy and Theo in Tim's murder. Jan survives her stabbing and Charles helps with her recovery. Charles' former stunt double, Sazz Pataki, shows up and immediately jumps into helping the trio investigate, much to the dismay of Charles and Jan. Later, a building meeting is called to address the podcast and the building votes to evict the trio, even after Charles says the podcast is done. Oliver and Mabel try to find a new lead to convince Charles to stay on the investigation and speculate that Tim might have had a secret girlfriend, a theory seemingly confirmed by Tim's neighbor. Charles goes to Jan's concert at Sazz's urging and sees a young female bassoonist who has replaced Jan at first chair. At the same time, Oliver and Mabel find a bassoon cleaner among Tim's stash of sex toys. | ||||||
10 | 10 | "Open and Shut" | Jamie Babbit | John Hoffman & Rachel Burger | October 19, 2021 | 1DWB10 |
The trio discover that Jan is the murderer. She was romantically involved with Tim, but killed him a day after they broke up. As Charles confronts Jan, he realizes she has poisoned him. Mabel and Oliver break into Jan's apartment and find a poison bottle and a box labeled "Jan's Lil' Toxins". Jan tries to gas the whole building via the newly open fireplaces but the trio run to the basement and stop it. In the basement, they see Jan again, who threatens to shoot them. A scuffle ensues, and Mabel knocks Jan out with the emerald ring. Jan is arrested. Later, as the trio celebrate, Mabel goes to get more champagne, and Oliver and Charles receive a mysterious text message telling them to leave the building immediately. The scene that opened the series is repeated, as Oliver and Charles run to Mabel and find her hunched over Bunny's dead body, covered in blood. The trio is led out of the Arconia in handcuffs while the Arconia tenants and others, including Detective Williams, Oscar, and Cinda, watch. |

Reception
Audience viewership
On September 3, 2021, it was reported that Only Murders in the Building set a record for the most-watched comedy premiere in Hulu history.[26]
On October 28, 2021, Hulu Originals president Craig Erwich said in an interview with Vulture that the show had become the most-watched comedy ever on Hulu "by a good measure." In the same article, Vulture reported that, according to Parrot Analytics, the show went from having about 16 times the audience demand in the U.S. as an average show when it debuted on August 31 to generating 37 times typical demand by the time the season 1 finale dropped on October 19. This meant that the day after the finale the show ranked as high as 14th on the list of most in-demand shows in the U.S. and signaled a "massive" 135% growth rate that according to Erwich is mainly to be attributed to word of mouth.[27]
Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 100% approval rating with an average rating of 8.00/10, based on 101 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Only Murders in the Building's silly approach to true crime obsessives is at once hilarious and insightful, thanks in large part to its extremely charming central trio."[28] Metacritic gave the first season a weighted average score of 76 out of 100 based on 34 critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[29]
Kristen Baldwin of Entertainment Weekly gave the series a B and wrote, "Only Murders delivers above-average laughs, a clever mystery, and a starry cast. But it's hard to shake the feeling that the show missed an opportunity to be something special."[30] Reviewing the series for Rolling Stone, Alan Sepinwall gave a rating of four and a half out of five stars and said, "The series soon turns out to be—like The Princess Bride, Galaxy Quest, or Jane the Virgin—that rare and wonderful thing: the parody that also offers a great example of the genuine article."[31]
