The first two episodes of season three are out and it's off to a great start! New players are introduced stage actors and potential suspects of the murder of their lead actor, Ben. Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep join the cast with impressive performances. Episode 1 and 2 fluctuate between present and four months before the opening night of Oliver's play Death Rattle. Oliver is struck by Streep's character, Loretta and casts her in his play. Loretta is a struggling actor who has never made it big, romance seems to start between the actor/director. Speaking of romance: Joy (Andrea Martin), Charles' makeup artist and new love, has moved in with him. This poses a challenge for Charles because he's absorbed in the role as detective in Death Rattle but wants to spend time with Joy. We learn Mabel is going to move out soon since her aunt is selling her condo, which makes me wonder if this is her last season.
As in past seasons of the series, season 3 continues to offer an abundance of suspects, humor, investigation, clever writing, and charm.
