@@Sunshine_day The second season of "Only Murders" really wasn't that good at all, but I am still looking forward to the third season because of the really sweet chemistry that Martin, Short, and Lopez have with each other.

[@wirelesmike73]

@@mikecantreed I've seen multiple interviews and discussions with the three of them, it's not a put-on. Selena is genuinely funny, and Martin and Short are some of the only people in the business that actually took notice, and worked her into something other than the "pop icon/sex symbol" stereotype that she had been shoehorned into. She travels with them on tours that she has nothing to do with just to be in the crowd and hang out with them off-stage. The three of them are friends. They look out for each other.
