Vince Vaughn shines in the colorful, sun-soaked mystery comedy on Apple TV+.
ThisBad Monkeyreview contains no spoilers.
Vince Vaughn is at the center of the controlled insanity.
He plays Andrew Yancy, a Hiaasen fan-favorite character.
Meredith Hagner dives into mean girl mischief as a scheming girlfriend with Penny Lane vibes and millionaire dreams.
Jodie Turner-Smith steps into the role of Gracie, a.k.a.
(Think: If JD had a raging pill addiction and fell in with the wrong crowd.
But the broadness of the roles in this case comes off as catnip for the actors involved.
Sure, the characters are kind of caricatures, but playing caricatures can be great fun.
Theres no doubt that everyone on this series is having a blast tackling these roles with abandon.
I adore both of these shows dearly!
But sometimes a girl just wants a comedy, straight up.
AndBad Monkeyis a shot of pure funny.
Its a show thats at least in my experience full of legitimate laugh-out-loud moments.
The first two episodes of Bad Monkey are available to stream on Apple TV+ now.
New episodes premiere Wednesdays, culminating in the finale on Oct. 9, 2024.
All 10 episodes were watched for this review.
