With only two episodes of Only Murders in the Building Season 3 streaming on Hulu, Meryl Streep has already stolen the spotlight. She plays Loretta Durkin in the installment’s latest twisty-turny saga, and fans can’t get enough of her character. She tries on accents for size that border on mockery and she doesn’t know when it’s her turn to speak during a readthrough for Charles’ Broadway play. Yet, at the same time, she is a vulnerable and authentic woman with an innocent crush. Here’s what folks are saying on Twitter.

Can we get more of Meryl singing, please? Oliver decided that ‘Death Rattle’ will be a musical now after all…
