Only Murders in the Building combines mismatched stars with unexpectedly smooth chemistry: The murder-mystery-comedy series brings together two comedy powerhouses in their 70s — Steve Martin and Martin Short — alongside one of the world’s biggest millennial pop stars, Selena Gomez — and the result is captivating. The three play neighbors Mabel, Charles, and Oliver who all live in an apartment complex in Manhattan, and share an obsession for the same true crime podcast. When a neighbor is found dead in the building, the cross-generational trio decide to start their own podcast with the aim of finding out who killed him. The show is fun, the writing is immaculate, and the characters stir up a range of emotions through their individual backstories. Like all mysteries, there is a plethora of suspects, and you’ll find yourself building your own theories as you watch along. What gives the show an extra notch is that ultimately, it is as compelling a mystery as it is a hilarious comedy. You can catch Season 1 in its entirety on Disney + (watch, runtime, 2:28).

???? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Grab a bite of Egyptian traditional food at its best from Tabali: We can never say no to fuul and ta’meyah, so Tabali is always a reliable, irresistible option — whether we’re looking for a snack, a proper meal, or an above-average Breakfast of Champions. The restaurant offers Egyptian cuisine that is consistently good, and the menu has an abundance of options for every occasion. Our absolute favorite is their Tableyet El Mini: You get a little bit of everything (foul with different flavors, falafel, eggs, fries, and cheese) served in tiny baladi bread loaves. We recently discovered their feteer and it instantly won us over. Pro tip: Always finish off your meal with rice pudding for dessert — you can get it plain, or topped with Lotus or Nutella and marshmallow, and all three options are scrumptious. Tabali has branches all over the city in Zamalek, Heliopolis, Sheikh Zayed, and 5th Settlement.
