Tim Kono's murderer was no surprise, given what was revealed on episode 9. But some people overthought this, thinking it’s more complicated than it was, and decided Jan seems too obvious to be the murderer, so now are disappointed. But the show is first and foremost a comedy, and a murder mystery second. Considering how the plot of this show was so stupid, one must watch it to enjoy Steve and Martin's comedic talents, and the humor because as a mystery it's just awful.
I don't have a problem with the reveal, however, Jan got uncharacteristically sloppy in the final, and that was kind of unsatisfying. Especially that cliche confrontation (when Jan didn't even see Mabel) made me want to roll my eyes. It felt too much like a Bond villain.
The elevator scene with Charles, and his neighbors, was one of the funniest scenes in the whole show.
I like that Oliver was pushing around all of their recording equipment in a dog stroller. And then even wheeling Charles around.
Charles remembered Mabel telling him he didn't need to sign his name on his texts.
"Lonely guys with notable age differences I met in an elevator." - I like the comment about how both relationships are age-inappropriate.
I wanted season 2 to be an entirely separate case, maybe revolving around the popularity of the podcast or something like that. I understand that the writers used the opening scene of the show to keep the audience hooked for another season, but the mystery wasn't fully solved, and that left us with way too many questions. My biggest one - why did the police cover up the toxicology report?
