All in all, it's worth committing 52 minutes of your life to.
I'm still not sure why Pete Davidson bothered showing up.
If you have not seen Murderville or a fan of improv, watch this episode because it's pure comedy and it's less than an hour ( 52 minutes).
And if you do not like it, just can make up the 52 minutes that you lost by scrolling through your phone for hours.
Will Arnett and Jason Bateman are great, I sense some Arrested Development character feel on their improv. Maya Rudolph was her Saturday night live self. So Watch Murderville and Who Killed Santa and trust me you will not regret it.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I've missed Murderville and been awaiting a Season 2 announcement since the day Season 1 debuted.
Jason Bateman and Will Arnett are an incredible team. Arrested Development fans - there's a shout out or two for you along the way.
The assistant was hilarious. Pete Davidson was hilarious. Maya Rudolph gave a solid performance. Sean Hayes was hilarious. Marshawn Lynch stole the show, just like he did in Season 1.
While this obviously doesn't guarantee future episodes, it was a great revitalization of the show.
Cast is amazing. Improv during show was hilarious. Insanely grateful to have found this.
I finished it and actually liked it. However, I went back and binged the series to get a good idea what I was watching, and then watched this one again, and loved it!
Once you realize they are basically clueless, you can enjoy the reactions.
You have to just understand what it is first.
I feel like some of the low ratings were either because they were confused like I was or don't enjoy this type of comedy.
You're not rating an Oscar genre movie or even a typical comedy. You're watching sketch and should probably just take it for what it is.
The joy derived from this show is at it's heart not about the story; it's not about how good the improv is. It's about the experience, and it's just funny.
Everyone involved is outwardly having a good time. Unless you're sporting a cold dead heart that's been stabbed by a well-licked candy cane, you should be too.
I've enjoyed the spectrum of all the guests and the different ways they've handled being thrown into the fire every single time.
Specifically though, this Christmas special delivered. Phenomenal chemistry all around. If you like Maya Rudolph and Jason Bateman, you're getting full blown Maya and Jason.
Talking specifics would cheapen the jokes, so I'll just say my biggest laugh of the entire run of this show happened in this episode.
9/10.
