If we're willing to embrace it, the beauty of friendship and community is evident in Hulu's award-winning murder mystery series Only Murders in the Building. For more articles, videos, books, and resources about faith and art, visit RabbitRoom.com.
I truly love this article & will now have to check out “Only Murders.” The premise that avoiding “main character energy” allows us the POV that recognizes parallel lives around us is vital to our me-centered (yep, I deal hard with it too) generation. Because, if we’re honest, we strive to turn the spotlight on ourselves because deep down we don’t believe we are worthy… that no one else will notice us if we don’t force the issue. That our lives don’t have meaning if we’re not making some kind of splash. And this is just as diabolical in Christian circles as it is among the overtly secular.
Thank you again, J.E. Bartel, for this eye-opening, soul-searching discussion.
And thank you Rabbit Room staff for sharing. Surprisingly timely in my current life circumstances.
Thanks for articulating and highlighting so many reasons why I love this show! I’ve never seen inter-generational relationships portrayed so lovingly or so accurately (Steve Martin’s texting moments get me every time). It’s truly a gem of storytelling.
