My kids used to watch Wizards of Waverly Place so I knew Gomez.
I agree she’s really good in this.

Pretty enjoyable conclusion.
It seems this was intended to be a two season series with that ending tacked on but I look forward to more. With that last cameo it seems like everyone has officially been on this show

I liked the second season but the mystery wrap up didn’t really land for me. I think I like everything about this show - characters, jokes, setting - EXCEPT how they resolve the mysteries themselves as they’ve been a bit too convoluted and too many red herrings.
(I don’t buy the killer’s motive at all this season nor did I think the actor really pulled it off)

I wandered into this thread on Tuesday forgetting that the finale had aired.
Thanks for no big spoilers, even though I would’ve blamed no one because it would’ve been all my fault.
Anyway, I thought the finale was fine, except with maybe one too many switchbacks. I have to admit that they really deked me when

I thought the season started out strong and withered in the middle. This finale was amazing - I was laughing the whole way through! Such great performances from Martin, Short and Gomez (I particularly love Selena's reactions to Steve and Martin's "old man" references - they go by so quickly you need to pay attention).
The actual solution of the murder wasn't nearly as important as the performances. The ensemble cast was great. The overacting of the gay guy, the amazing performance from the former-Broadway-actor-now-doorman, etc. All of it sold this show.

I finally finished season two today and I loved it. I actually thought:
The finale was brilliantly done. I'm excited about season 3, but
This show should have won more Emmys besides production design, guest actor, and sound mixing. I hope the brilliant season 2 finale wins some.

I thought season 2 got a little too convoluted, but still very enjoyable. If this really is Steve Martin's last project, I hope we get a bunch of seasons!

I would think if something cool and interesting came his way he would unretire.

I shouldn't be surprised by that but it seems like a big get for them, I assume she'll have as much screen time as Amy Schumer.
Also in general that line-up is nuts

Definitely sounds like a penthouse suite cameo ala Sting and Schumer. Also another 'S' name in Streep. Seems like something an Arconiac would come up with.

Maybe, but she did do a full season of Big Little Lies, Season 2. This is almost certainly going to be better than that.
I liked how she worked with Martin in It's Complicated. Would love to see more of the two of them together.

Awesome. Now we just need a date. This might be my favorite new show. I'm going for a full rewatch before season 3.
