"CoBro" is one of the stronger episodes this season so far, thanks in large part to Matthew Broderick's hilarious guest appearance. His persnickety, self-deprecating performance led to some truly inspired comedic bits. It was also a wonderful surprise to see the legendary Mel Brooks make a cameo. While I did miss the infectious chemistry between Charles, Oliver and Mabel, it was interesting to see them bounce off other faces we haven't seen in a bit. Additionally, the ending has me very intrigued for where the story will lead in next week's episode. "CoBro" may not be OMITB's peak chapter, but it does feature more than enough laughs and fresh character pairings for me to highly recommend it.

In Only Murders In the Building Season 3 Episode 7, the trio tries to mend their relationship, but they aren't entirely back together. Mabel and her new people find a new suspect, who is incriminated by his speech, mannerisms, and history. The episode blends past seasons and current narratives, featuring characters from the past who we've seen little of this season. Uma's unfiltered thoughts and observations are heartwarming, as they share similar values and experiences. Both older women, who have seen enough of life, can't pretend anymore and shoot from the hip. They often clash and fight due to their similarities, but eventually make up. Oliver and Charles' love for each other becomes apparent after the events of Only Murders in the Building Season 3 Episode 6, where their similarities become apparent. Oliver and Charles' relationship differed from Uma and Bonnie's, as they complemented each other. Oliver was happy to lead, while Charles was glad to follow. Oliver realized he needed someone who could take directions, not give them. Matthew Broderick's input was helpful, but Oliver was not satisfied with Matthew's control. Mabel and Theo formed a friendship after a rough start in Season 1. Moving is stressful, and true friends share that stress. Theo, one of the few deaf people on TV, was missing for most of the season. Mabel formed a new trio with Tobert and Theo, which functioned well, and they were all around the same age. Mabel might have learned a thing or two from their interactions. The old trio is still funnily on point, and Mabel and Charles' interactions are always on point. The episode made progress into the murder mystery and looked into the suspect Dickie, who seemed to carry the weight of an entire clan on his shoulders. The episode made sense when Dickie walked in with Ben, hurling stuff and barely breathing. The story revolves around a young man named Dickie who has been under the influence of his older brother, Ben, for his entire life. The story highlights the shift in attention when a younger sibling joins the family and the possibility of Ben robbing him in public. The circumstances surrounding Ben's death are unclear, but it is believed that Dickie had a physical argument with Ben, leading to his death. Dickie expressed admiration for his brother but also hated him, highlighting the complex relationship between them. The episode "CoBro" focuses on mending broken relationships and developing the mystery, which may have led to fewer laughs. The episode also features Oliver and Matthew Broderick's first interaction after Oliver saw Broderick perform, where he shares a sex dream about the moment, which Broderick humorously brushes past.

Finally, a somewhat decent episode of Only Murders in the Building. It felt like a month or so since we have gotten one of those.

But this was a good one. Oliver had some funny moments, Mabel was a lot more focused than usual and finally stood up for herself against the other two, and even Tobert.

And we had no Howard, thankfully. No surprise that an episode without him results in one of the best of the season.

But they presented another red herring with Ben's brother that we will go nowhere, and simply kept things easy to follow. That makes for a much better program for the fans watching at home.

Im kind of mixed feelings with the episode. I didnt really enjoyed it and didnt really hate it. I need to say that im still curious to know who kiiled Ben and we have a new suspect? His brother? Fame? Money? Jealousy? We dont know yet and its for know only theories. We know also that Jackie had the stuff of Ben and we dont have any clue yet. Of course as expected; the dispute between the three main characters was just an excuse and Oliver forgive Charles. So yeah now the turn of Mabel. Its kind of slow and a little bit uninteresting but we still curious and just wonder who did it? And the podcast is back again! Mabel is looking cool of the cover of her podcast. But yeah still light in term of revelations, investigations. But i do appreciate that it have a little bit less comedy and that was good. But i expect more.
