I’m An Only Murders In The Building Fan, But One Thing About Selena Gomez’s Performance Bothers Me
The streaming wars have been in full effect for years now, and those with a Hulu subscription know that one of the best Hulu shows to watch is Only Murders in the Building. The Emmy-nominated series recently wrapped up its fifth season on the air, and I’ve loved enjoying how the comedy/mystery has changed over the years. But I do have one issue with Selena Gomez’s performance that drives me crazy. Hear me out.
Only Murders Season 5 had some A+ characters, although obviously it’s largely about its three stars: Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. This trio has great chemistry, but the “Come & Get It” singer’s diction on the comedy series is a bit of a distraction to me.
Sometimes I Don’t Understand What Selena Gomez Is Saying
While I love seeing Gomez’ Mabel poke fun at her older podcast partners in Only Murders in the Building, sometimes I have a hard time actually comprehending what her one-liners are. This is largely thanks to the singer/actress’ diction when filming, especially compared to the crisp and effective way Martin Short and Steve Martin deliver their lines on the acclaimed series.
Of course, there is a legit reason why Selena Gomez is speaking this way. Her delivery as Mabel is usually very deadpan, which is an effective foil to her co-stars. But sometimes (for me personally) she borders on being impossible to understand. Does anyone else have this problem?
