Only Murders In The Building: Season 1 (2021) Hulu
Three strangers share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one. When a grisly death occurs inside their exclusive Upper West Side apartment building, the trio suspects murder and employs their precise knowledge of true crime to investigate the truth. Perhaps even more explosive are the lies they tell one another. Soon, the endangered trio comes to realize a killer might be living among them as they race to decipher the mounting clues before it’s too late. Starring Steve Martin; Martin Short; and Selena Gomez

There’s no overt violence shown in Only Murders in the Building, and no overt sex (hinted at, mentioned, but not actually shown). What it has, though, is foul language.

Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed many shows that feature plenty of bad language — like Deadwood, Silicon Valley and Clarkson’s Farm — but here it just feels forced and entirely unnecessary.

Remove it, and you have a delightful cozy mystery in an urban setting, enjoyable for the whole family and for those with delicate sensibilities (who form a fair portion of mystery and true-crime fans — that’s a mystery for you).

But every time f-bombs, etc., are dropped in Only Murders in the Building, they just land wrong and don’t seem to fit.
