Bad Monkey

Watched the first 2 episodes. Another good apple tv series. Their shows have the best cinematography. They're trying a little too hard to make every dialogue funny but it's still mostly good. I'm not interested yet in the murder mystery part of it because the characters are unserious.

Just watched the first episode tonight and enjoyed it as well. It’s a little absurd which makes it entertaining.

downloaded this but first episode didn't hold my attention. I don't think I really gave it a chance as I was reaching for my phone fairly quickly - is that my fault or the fault of the show? Regardless I've been a bit distracted lately

The scenes with Vaughn and his friends are entertaining. I'm bored by the scenes involving the caribbeans and the monkey but they're short and obviously have an important role so I power through them.

I can't tell anymore with this board. An actual monkey or a jogger?

Theres literally a monkey on the poster, dont be a moron.

4th episode had 1 minute or less of the black characters. There's no more mystery for us the viewers thanks to the style of narration they chose. The story is moving fast. I like the interactions between the characters more than the story which is rare.

Only 2 ep in but it's good. Better than most of the junk out there. Get's the "worth watching" label for me so far. The writing was suspiciously good for 2024, so I checked and sure enough it's based on a book by a decent writer. That bodes well.

This is more VV's speed than some of the other stuff he's done lately, so it seems a little like a return to form for him, but... he still lacks a little bit of the energy/vitality he had with his younger roles. I mean, tbf the guy isn't as young as he used to be. I feel like if he picked up a cocaine habit it would really do wonders for his career.

Another fun episode this week.
