It\u2019s from a very different type of show, but also worthy of all the accolades. On September 28, Hulu\u2019s buzzy new comedy <em>Only Murders in the Building<\/em> dropped their own non-verbal episode, \u201cThe Boy From 6B,\u201d shot from the perspective of a deaf character. As our three amateur sleuths \u2013 played by indomitable trio Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez \u2014 come up with new theories for what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened to murder victim and fellow-Arconia-apartment-building resident Tim Kono (Julian Cihi), they get uncomfortably close to the truth for Theo Dimas (James Caverly), who\u2019s been hiding a dark secret for a long time. If you\u2019re worried that an episode with no spoken words may be boring, think again. This climactic episode includes, both in the past and the present, non-stop twists.<\/p>\n<p>Save for some muffled sounds, not only is there no audible speaking in this episode, there aren\u2019t even sound effects. What this does do is give the show\u2019s enticing score its perfect time to shine. Even when we cut away from Theo, the episode still avoids anyone saying anything. As Charles (Martin) and Mabel (Gomez) sneak around Teddy\u2019s apartment, and later Oliver (Short) and Mabel snoop at a funeral home, they gesture to each other and send texts in order to remain covert. When Theo is in the scene, we see people\u2019s lips moving, but, like Theo, we can\u2019t hear them (subtitles occasionally appear on the screen as Theo reads people\u2019s lips). And yet, it is never difficult to understand what is happening.<\/p>\n<p>What quickly becomes clear is what it feels like for Theo, always on the outside looking in. In a flashback, the \u201cHardy Boys\u201d let themselves into the Dimas\u2019s apartment. Theo hides, but he clearly wishes to be a part of this clique of Arconia-resident kids. He\u2019s delighted when Zoe (Olivia Reis) catches him looking at them, but instead of ratting him out, surprises him by signing to him in ASL. Finally, he has someone to connect with, and it\u2019s a cute blonde who\u2019s flirting with him. It\u2019s a shame it doesn\u2019t last, because we finally find out what happened the night Zoe died.<\/p>\n<p>The revelations in this episode come fast and furious. The show builds great momentum by juxtaposing Mabel and Oliver\u2019s discovery that Teddy (Nathan Lane) and Theo are graverobbers who steal jewelry off of dead bodies, with the flashback to New Year\u2019s Eve. In an effort to get Zoe to give him back the emerald ring she took, Theo accidentally kills her (she falls off the roof), and Teddy uses a threat to Mabel to blackmail Tim, who witnesses the whole thing, into covering it up. It all culminates in the present with Charles waking up from his hot date to discover in 78 texts everything he\u2019s missed, and after finally unlocking Tim\u2019s phone, we find out that Oliver and Mabel have been kidnapped(!!!) by Theo.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1016625\" style=\"width: 2038px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1016625\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1016625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/only-murders-in-the-building-the-boy-from-6b-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2028\" height=\"1352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/only-murders-in-the-building-the-boy-from-6b-1.jpg 2028w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/only-murders-in-the-building-the-boy-from-6b-1-434x289.jpg 434w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/only-murders-in-the-building-the-boy-from-6b-1-855x570.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/only-murders-in-the-building-the-boy-from-6b-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/only-murders-in-the-building-the-boy-from-6b-1-234x155.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/only-murders-in-the-building-the-boy-from-6b-1-570x380.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2028px) 100vw, 2028px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1016625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Craig Blankenhorn\/Hulu)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Like every other character who has gotten an episode spotlight on this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, Theo is portrayed as a complex character. He\u2019s done some messed up stuff (we shouldn\u2019t have to say this but killing, blackmailing, kidnapping, and black-market activities are wrong), but he\u2019s not overall a bad person. Killing Zoe was one hundred percent an accident, and when it happened, he lost the one person he thought could become his friend. He was also dragged into this black market business by his dad, which has consistently put him in some pretty terrible situations. The show has empathy for Theo without making excuses for his poor choices (seriously, don\u2019t kidnap people).<\/p>\n<p>But while everything seems dire, the writers like to remind us that this is a comedy. As Charles unlocks the phone, he lets out the one audible line of the whole episode, \u201cWe did it,\u201d followed by a truly fantastic laugh. Being able to weave together complex and tragic storylines with thrilling plot twists and timely humor? That\u2019s just good television.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_observations_we_thought_made_this_episode_stand_out\"><\/span>Other observations we thought made this episode stand out:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u25cf The opening scene where Teddy frightens his young son by aggressively forcing him to try to listen to showtunes is telling about their relationship and why Theo doesn\u2019t stand up to his father the rest of the episode.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Even during the scenes with Charles and Jan (Amy Ryan) on their date, the show still gets around having any dialogue by making the two flirt with their eyes at each other while dancing and playing erotic scrabble. We love to see it.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf A small aside: As someone who grew up on the Upper West Side of New York, this show\u2019s ability to capture the question of \u201chow well do you know your neighbors?\u201d in a city of strangers is excellent.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Only Murders in the Building<\/em>, New Episodes, Tuesdays, Hulu<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
