Bad Monkey: A Crime Comedy That Misses the Mark
A Former Cop's Fall From Grace
Former police detective Andrew Yancy Vaughn has hit rock bottom, reduced to conducting mundane restaurant inspections in Southern Florida. Once a promising officer, Vaughn's career took a nosedive after an unfortunate incident. Now, he's just a shadow of his former self, haunted by the ghosts of his past.
Based on Carl Hiaasen's New York Times bestselling novel and enduring cult favorite, "Bad Monkey" tells the story of Vaughn's downward spiral and his unlikely encounter with a mysterious woman connected to a series of bizarre crimes. Apple TV's 10-episode comedy-drama attempts to capture the droll and affectionate tone of Hiaasen's prose, with Vince Vaughn in the lead role.
Initially, "Bad Monkey" captivates with its quirky characters and intriguing premise. Vaughn's world is a colorful tapestry of eccentric individuals, ranging from a taxidermist with a penchant for puppets to a wealthy recluse with a secret that could rock the community. The series delves into a complex web of corruption, environmental destruction, and dark family secrets.
