Only Murders in the Building was one of those surprise shows that I hadn’t anticipated being a favorite, but enough people whose opinions I trusted were raving about and the combination of Selena Gomez with Steve Martin and Martin Short was sort of too unexpected not to look into. It quickly became a big hit in our house and with the fourth season wrapping up and a fifth season already greenlit, it’s the perfect time to look at the season’s highlights.

Labor Day weekend tends to host a number of conventions across the country from large and iconic ones like Dragon Con, to smaller and more local ones. Last year I wrote about the joy of smaller conventions after attending Tucson Comic-Con. We just attended our third Tucson Comic-Con and one of my favorite things to do after attending these events is to highlight some of the cool artists and makers that populate Vendor Halls with their small businesses and Artist Alley tables.

There’s a few things that give me a special sort of GeekMom nostalgia, but one of them is when a show I started covering from season one during my first year wraps up. The Umbrella Academy is one of those shows. There’s been a special place in my heart for the crazy superpowered and highly dysfunctional world saving shenanigans of the Hargreeves siblings ever since they first debuted. The final season has now dropped on Netflix with some mixed feelings.
