Only Murders in the Building
Three neighbors in a fine old building make a podcast out of a murder.

A building as a small town. Charming, and a little too pleased to treat death as a hobby.
Three lonely people in a New York building decide a dead neighbor is their project and, accidentally, that they are each other's. The friendship is the part the standard likes: different ages, shared table, somebody waiting on the landings. A city that still has that has not entirely come apart.
The limit is the hobby. A murder should not be the most charming thing that happens to you. The show knows this in flickers and then cues the theme. Delightful in small doses. Do not let a podcast about a corpse become your picture of what neighbors are for. Neighbors are for casseroles, arguments, and showing up. The mystery is optional.

Knock on one actual neighbor's door with a small, practical offer. Not a post. A door.

Industry
5/10
They work the case. It is also a performance.
Household
5/10
Friendship across age. A real tenderness, and no lasting house.
Piety
3/10
Death is a puzzle box. Reverence is occasional.
Courage
5/10
They take risks for each other more than for justice.
Republic
6/10
A building full of neighbors is the closest thing to a polis on this shelf.
Temperance
6/10
Light on the vices. The appetite is whimsy.
Truth
6/10
A mystery still believes facts matter.
Stewardship
4/10
The inheritance is another season of the podcast.
