Apple TV+'s "Bad Monkey" promised a quirky blend of crime and comedy, and the reviews are in! Based on Carl Hiaasen's novel, the show follows Andrew Yancy (Vince Vaughn), a disgraced detective demoted to restaurant inspector in the Florida Keys. When he stumbles upon a severed arm, his life takes a bizarre turn involving eccentric characters and, yes, a bad monkey.
So, is it any good? Critics are somewhat divided. Many praise Vaughn's comedic timing and the show's commitment to absurdity. The supporting cast, filled with quirky personalities, also earns accolades. However, some reviews point to a convoluted plot and a reliance on silliness that occasionally falls flat. While visually stunning and entertaining in moments, "Bad Monkey" might not appeal to viewers seeking sophisticated storytelling.
Overall, "Bad Monkey" seems like a fun, albeit uneven, ride. If you enjoy offbeat humor and don't mind a bit of chaos, give it a try. But be warned: this monkey business isn't for everyone.
