20 Best TV Shows Of 2021
1. Only Murders In The Building
For all the great TV we've been blessed with this year, no show has been quite as flawless as Only Murders In The Building, which follows three New York neighbours as they put their shared obsession with true crime to the test in order to solve a murder in their apartment building.
Created by star Steve Martin and also starring Martin Short and Selena Gomez, the satirical drama creates an enrapturing mystery around its characters whilst brilliantly satirizing true crime obsessives, social media, and the rise of podcasts.
Even better than the central murder mystery, though, is the work of its cast, who all work their magic to bring three radically different but inexplicably connected characters to life with endearing sweetness.
Martin is troubled and sour, Short is manic and too-honest, and Gomez steals the show with her tragic complexities and deadpan delivery. This, added to the relentless thrills and shock reveals of the secrets around them, makes Only Murders In The Building the best show of 2021.
