Only Murders in the Building

Watch on Hulu

In this delightful murder mystery series, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez play three strangers who all live in an Upper West Side apartment building and share a fascination with true crime. When a death occurs in their building, the trio suspects murder and takes it upon themselves to investigate the truth. In their search for the truth, however, they uncover some rather explosive lies about one another. Podcasting, true crime, and old-school comedy might seem like a strange trio, but in this series, they soar!

Cinderella

In this adaptation, the character of Cinderella is given more power and is very much her own independent woman in a way that is more suitable for a modern audience. If you have kids in the house, this is one that should definitely get them singing.
