I just finished watching Bad Monkey on Apple TV+. It was really good and I highly recommend it.
Some notes:
- The showrunner, Bill Lawrence, who was also behind Ted Lasso and Shrinking delivered again. The Ringer has a piece about him;
- Eve Stripling is easily one of the most compelling villains I’ve seen in a while;
- The soundtrack is spot-on and adds so much to the vibe;
- The “good guys” are all super charming and relatable;
- It’s based on a novel by Carl Hiaasen, and it feels like it shares the same DNA as the works of Laurent Chalumeau — both clearly influenced by the legendary Elmore Leonard.
