Only Murders in the Building: Top 10 Foreshadowing Details You Missed 

I caught all of them. I knew it was Jan.

When he was on his first date with the bassoon player I was suspicious because she was so awkward about wanting him to overshare with her. Sharing is transactional she said, which is a pretty dark sentiment.

No. I even forgot about the scene from the very beginning lol

I am so looking forward to season 2

Yes. Tim was taking out this garbage bag from Jen apartament. We can see later that the dirty glasses are there and letter wrote by her. He couldn't taking it out before the death. He wasn't in her apartament before the poisining and kill. It must be other bag.

YESS totally

Well it's kinda like Manhattan Murder Mystery by Woody Allen...

@@TamunaTati maybe, but it's not a literal remake, a direct adaptation or the like. An original show, with original characters. I love it.

I agree! At first, I only decided to watch this show because of Selena Gomez being one of the main characters. I really like Selena and watch almost anything she is in. I wasn't sure if I would like the show itself but figured I would watch it regardless because Selena was cast as the main character. However, after the first episode I quickly realized it was just a great show in general. I thought the writing was clever, suspenseful, and interesting. The 3 main characters Charles, Oliver, and Mabel were very likable because they switched between being witty, sympathetic, and funny depending on the scene. It is an unusual and unlikely choice to pair two old men with a young woman in her 20's as friends and leads in a show, but it was a great decision. Selena, Steve, and Martin honestly have great chemistry and work very well as a believable group of friends. Overall, I think this show is brilliant and I can't wait for season 2!

I hope she comes back next season

But like who else lol.

Brilliant casting!

She even was the one who mentioned Tim had a lover......so her role was more important than were led to believe....and of course she does amazing ( my personal fav is her on Knocked Up...so funny)

She could have been Gwendoline Christie’s too😂😂😂

It was just to make her look more like she was attacked instead of her attacking herself

@@dennyjones6921 True and both of the notes are different, JAN received a printed note while oliver recived a written one

I was wondering that. Maybe the person who texted them “Get out of the building now!” Have her that note and is about her being the murderer and not the murderer watching her!

@shadow knight yes that backs up my theory.

Exactly! Plus it was typed I think. Her notes were handwritten

This mention comes at the end of the show too

It would be funny that if they go more than 3 season, half of the residents will be arrested while the other half will be dead

It Been renews the writers on working on it now apparently

it has and they start filming next month!

yeah it was already renewed they announced it back in September

Oh,it is...confirmwd6...thank GOD

Can't wait for season 3~

I tought abou the exact same thing and even looked it up on spotify but was disapointed it was not the real thing

yeah..and hes the one who told oliver and charles that mabel was lying to them about not knowing tim kono..he knew her whole damn history..HOW CAN ONE PERSON JUS BARGE IN AND SAY THAT OUT OF THE BLUE??

Will could be the killer in season 3 but i hope not Oliver will be heartbroken

Interesting... Yeah I noticed him, but I took it like he was thinking, 'nope, I've got nothing good to say about him'.

I definitely agree!! I was upset this was buried but I know it will be big in the next season!

So this is interesting! If you already started season 2, the architect of the building looks A LOT like real life serial killer H. H. Holmes who designed a building with hidden rooms and passageways to commit his murders. I wonder if it was a coincidence or done purposely. I won’t be surprised if we learn about more murders soon.

@@insanelittlesilk ooh yes interesting! I've heard about HH Holmes, so that could be key.

Now bunny said 14 👁️👄👁️

@@rubyjane0422 omggg

Same. I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out on Reddit. The level of attention to detail on this show is incredible.

I KNEW there would be clues there but I couldn’t figure it out.

True but they hadn't seen each other in ten years

yes that's what i thought

Thank goodness idk actors lol

Great point about the complainants!

In the scene where they're having a building meeting to vote to evict the trio, Mabel says to Bunny "you can't evict my aunt." So that wouldn't make sense if Bunny was her aunt.

@@12harrypotterfan34 bunny currently lives in 12 A. where her aunt used to live, no one said she moved and no one tells her name

Yes but she isn't

Yeah but when she wanted to evict Mabel, Mabel yelled “you can’t evict my aunt!”

I'm going to assume it has something to do with stealing packages. Since she stole Tim's package with the ring, and Tim said it happened before. Someone probably ordered a hoodie and when it was delivered, she stole it

I thought someone was sending a message to the podcasting/detective trio

I think the murderer put it on her. When you see it in the first episode it's so fast, but if you're watching closely you might have noticed it was tie dyed. Then when Oscar shows up wearing it a few episodes later, that might make you think the person from the fast forward that was killed was Oscar. But the murderer probably put the Only Murders podcast hoodie on Bunny as a warning to the 3 of them.

@@FetusMcYeetus yeah...right

Everyone at the end was wearing a podcast hoodie. Maybe it was more complicated, but it’s possible that she wanted to help gain good will after becoming the “most hated person in the building”

I think that has more to do with the deal Amy Ryan had when she signed on. A lot of actors get credited on shows even when they don’t appear in the episode.

Kono is Japanese not Korean

You can actually develop asthma later on in life, it may not have been 18 years. I think Tim inherited the apartment from his parents after they moved back to Japan, while he stayed behind for his job (and to continue his 10 yr investigation). If he gave up his family's place, he forfeits the lower rent that he gets for such a large square footage. Real estate is really difficult to find in NYC, as his greedy neighbor in 9B proves. But more than the real estate aspect, I believe he just really needed to stay close to the Dimas family. Btw at the diner in episode 1, since Oliver and Charles have never seen Mabel around before, they assume she just moved in and ask Mabel how someone as young as her could afford to live at the Arconia. They explain that they could afford it since they started living there 30 years ago, when it was cheaper. This leads me to believe that they have "rent control" on their apartments. Their rent is still pricey, but not as expensive as new move-in costs, which is why Oliver refuses to abandon his place. So that could help explain why people like Tim have lived at the Arconia almost their whole lives. Anywho, MY question is why did Mabel's Aunt invite her back to stay there after 10 years? Was it just conveniently perfect timing around Oscar getting out of prison or did the Aunt do this on purpose? Also, if Tim had been working on this case for 10 years, why wouldn't he be glad that Mabel approached him about Zoe's incident, instead of brushing her off about bringing up the past? You'd think he'd try to get her in on the investigation like old times.

No and that bugs the crap out of me lol

I just binged it, and Mabel's cousin Tavo mentions that Tim Kono tried to track down all of the pieces that were up for sale from the black market dealer "Angel". I think the engagement ring was just one of the pieces that Angel sold to Tim before the Emerald ring. I don't think the "engagement" part of the ring is very significant, just that the ring was one of the first pieces of evidence the trio find. Once Mabel discovers the rest of the jewelry in Kono's building, the 'plot hole' pointed out in this video is basically (implicitly) explained.

I think it just helps to explain why Jan THOUGHT there was another woman; she most likely overheard him buying jewelry that she never received.

@@vanathipanneerselvam5688 Zoe stole the ring from the Dimuses and Theo saw her. When he got it back Tim witnessed theo push her off the building, or she fell off. So tim wanted it for proof

Thanks so much for watching!

and i dont trust Charles

@@mrsmom1328 wait why do u say that??

Cause he also had blue string trashbags and when going to recover the bag he mets Mabel on the elevator and well maybe start to act like he is trying to recover Tim's trash instead of recovering his trash that was taken down for Tim.

You think a guy that just got out of prison for a crime he didn't do, wants to threaten his new freedom by risking himself back to jail?

@@mrsmom1328 - No, he's a protagonist. Plus we know enough about his character, as a genuine nice human being, to logically not suspect him of murder. It just wouldn't make sense that the guy who refused to be suspicious of Mabel or Jan, when he had every right to be, is a bad guy. He's established as too good-natured. If he ever does kill someone on the show, it'll probably be in self-defense or as an accident. But he's not actively a murderer.

Well there is another murderer in the building too

Second season v:

Now that I've finished the whole season and know that Jan was the Season 1 killer, I'm pretty sure that note was probably just meant to get any suspicion off of herself. To make it seem like she was a victim rather than the murderer she was. In Episode 10, I believe Jan even admitted to being the one to stab herself. "I'm not one of those who always does it the same and has to carve a niche for themselves, even though I did carve a niche in myself." We also saw Charles comparing notes before he collapsed from the poison, but the "I'm Watching You" note wasn't one of them. It was notes with the letter J in them. If this is explained further in Season 2 like the other person said, I'm not on that episode yet but that's my explanation. It seemed pretty obvious from the moment Charles started comparing the other notes.

Thanks Eric! :)

There were a set of twins sat together with the detective beside them in her flashback, but she was not a twin herself.

yeah my only complaint was only a few of the twists were unexpected, many were though, like i knew immediately the guy with the hood up tailing mabel was oscar.

they set the whole "zoe had oscar's dad make copies of the residents apt keys..." was suspicious the comment that zoe took things too far... she knew about the secret door in the dimas apt? why would oscars dad jeapordize his job? oscar made the copies? they were rolepalying crime solvers but broke into innocent peoples apts? where did zoe come from again? tim and oscar both lived in the apt...

@@MyidolGwen Zoe's family had the whole 11th floor

Yes, it was, & Mabel was wearing it when she punched Jan in the basement.

But.. it's on Hulu

@@FetusMcYeetus Not outside the US

It is so good and so funny!

@@julianadams5311 Okay I can’t wait to watch it when I get a Hulu account soon.

I know a website where you can watch it for free-

@@4everf_tima Nice! So where can I watch it for free.

Jan WAS the murderer in Season 1. Not sure what you mean? Unless you're talking about a different murderer but I started Season 2 a bit late seeing as the third one is coming next month.

Cause she is crazy

It was turned on in episode 1

I brought that up because. The fireplaces were supposed to have been shut off because of konos asthma. Supposedly they didn't get turned on until after he died.

It was Oliver(Martin Short)that turned his fireplace on(not Brazzos).

The gas was never turned off, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to use their stoves or heaters. They were just asked not to use their fireplaces as a courtesy. Oliver most likely didn’t want to follow the fireplace rule and just did whatever he wanted.

that was because he thought he was gonna see the people in the cartoon costumes

@@noahamudot7781 thank you! I have not realised it.

Mabel says, "I just opened the door and she (Bunny) stumbled in on me" - which would explain why they were further into the apartment and why Mabel has the blood all over her. BUT you noticed something I did too: Oscar is the only one who Mabel tells about thinking about using her knitting needle to stab someone. He is also wearing his tie-dye hoodie again (like Bunny) that night that they're all arrested.

@@Diamond_Skies Ntm Oscar was sus as hell all season long…

@@Aisha_Luv RIGHT?

@@Diamond_Skies Oscar’s probably wearing the hoodie to play up the “hey I’m tie dye guy” stuff seeing how the tie dye Only Murders hoodie is a major piece of merch in the series now

how do you know she knew though?
