I don't know if it's a stretch but isn't it possible that Dimas, the guy who is a potential suspect would say those things to lie and achieve his goals? At least I hope that writing is intentionally misleading as it felt completely out of place otherwise.

To Protect and Serve
Prismark105 February 2022
Charles and Oliver meet Mabel's mother who is concerned about her daughter snooping about a murder.
When the podcast gets a mention in the Jimmy Fallon show. Teddy Dimas is ecstatic. A story about his family background also gives an important clue and a new suspect.
The detective who investigated Tim Kono's death finds her competence is being questioned in the podcast.
The zaniness between Charles and Oliver is the best thing in this. When the humour is on their level, the show soars.
When it gets introspective or maudlin, it gets dull.

main trio

Can some of you relax with criticizing selenas voice... she has lupus so of course she is going to sound nasally it's not something she can control. Aside from that the trio work really well together and portray a range of personalities.
Amazing episode
navatortatin22 September 2021
This episode was really well done. We got to know more about the case and Mabel as well as the strengthen of the trio's bond. People coming in here to complain about Selena's voice should just shout it to their pillow because it is literally no useful whatsoever here. They probably have an issue with her and use this as an excuse.
Mom is here !!!!

A nice episode anyway more focused on relationship between characters . Mabel have the visit of her mother . Even if the case continue with the discover of the ring of one of the friend of Mabel . And the young man and Mabel get more and more close . Its pretty more emotional and more slow but still interesting. But the case will advance more because they have a new suspect and a new clue : the phone of Tim Kono.
Ignore the Turk Armenian genocide people
thekingmanx23 September 2021
About 90% of the one star reviews are about the Arminian genocide and about 90% of those accounts were made this month and have only reviewed this episode so I'm guessing it's probably a bunch of bots. As for the actual episode it was decent, definitely not my favorite but a solid watch, it did kind of feel like filler tho.
Some of the best laugh-out-loud moments so far
j_rager18 October 2021
Not to spoil anything, but we laughed hard during this episode. It still vacillates between the zaniness for which the leads are known and the deep introspection and pain that each character has gradually reveals, but the comedy crystallizes really well this episode. There is less art here, and I think they perhaps tipped their hand too far in that direction during the first episode if they weren't going to sustain it, but that's not to criticize this episode.
Reunification
Hitchcoc23 September 2021
I didn't know Turkish people were so touchy! I thought this was a very good transitional episode, Nathan Lane's story aside. The women are lesbians. They are a part of the story. Most of the other characters are heterosexuals. I don't hear anyone complaining about that. It's a story with multiple dynamics. We get to find out what is in Mabel's past and where those jewels came from. And the ring. I think the three main characters are totally awesome. For some of you--did Selena Gomez kill your cat or something. And if you are going to criticize someone's acting, could you speak specifically about what they are doing wrong. You have two wonderful comedians with years of moviemaking in some great comedies. My biggest regret is that I have to wait again for the next episode.
Rating low for the acting in this one.

There are many delightful twists and turns on Only Murders In the Building Season 1 Episode 6!
Not only did the plot seriously progress, but there was time for some beautiful character moments as well.
It feels like we're getting that much closer to solving the mystery of Tim Kono's murder. The detective's voiceover focuses on loneliness -- how it is part of the human condition to be alone. Little does she know how much she has in common with our trio, who were all solitary beings before Tim's death brought them together. It seems like a random choice at first to give this character so much screen time, but it cleverly highlights another theme that runs through the episode -- true crime is always true for someone. Death has a lasting effect on the living -- friends, family, even those tasked with holding murderers accountable. Williams humanizes the aspect we sometimes forget when we get sucked into the genre -- someone suffered and died for this entertainment. No wonder she hates true crime. Meeting Mabel's mom really stresses just how stunted Mabel has been in the years since Zoe's death. She is right, though -- now that Charles and Oliver know how much Tim and Zoe meant to Mabel, it would be insensitive of them to continue exploiting her personal tragedy. It's definitely cool to see Mabel's old bedroom, complete with childhood art projects. It's clear she had squandered potential, but that is what trauma does to people. She may not have gone to prison like Oscar, but she still had trouble reassimilating and figuring out what to do with her life. Solving Tim's murder may give Mabel closure, but it also might somehow solve the mystery of Zoe's death. Oscar and Mabel, despite how they feel about each other, are linked by a horrible incident from their past. They haven't seen each other in ten years, but shared trauma creates powerful intimacy. However, it can't be the only basis of a relationship, and it feels like deep down Mabel knows that. Oscar just wants to avoid discussing it, but Mabel needs resolution, especially if they are to move forward as a couple. For a brand new character, Mabel's mother (Mandy Gonzalez) has several important scenes. First, she expresses concern that Mabel is living in the past, which is true, and she is worried her daughter has no future. She definitely infantilizes Mabel in the way she speaks to her, but it seems to come from a place of concern rather than control. Later, we learn that Mabel's mother blames herself for Mabel's state. She thought she was doing right by Mabel by sending her off the Manhattan on school breaks to stay at the Arconia.

below avarage and about turks reaction
nseiken11 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It was a below average episode of the series. Some characters still seem to have not entered the role. They recover a little more in the following episodes, but Selena is still a big question mark. It doesn't seem right to me to tell historical issues that are unnecessary and debatable unilaterally in such serials. The Armenian Genocide is debatable, but what is the Greek Genocide? Of course, the Turks, who have some strong nationalist feelings, will overreact to this.
I think there are people in the writer team who are funded from different associations. Back in the day, Holocaust deniers also paid such writers to try to distort history.
At least, the character that tells about this event in the series is a liar.

Interesting concept, wretched episode.
cjbarrett22 September 2021
The writing has been uneven but this episode just set a new low. It's tough to watch something when you're feeling embarrassed for the actors involved. Loved Selena squeaking out about being an adult to her mommy. Yikes.
Coarse, vulgar language
wrogersmoody2 June 2022
The (unnecessary) vulgarity alone destroys this episode. Also disappointing is an absence of humor following the funniest episode (to date).
The episode has its good moments - Mabel's mother is a wonderfully drawn and performed character for one - but they are buried under frequent coarse, vulgar language, none necesary.
