BAD MONKEY S1 REVIEW 😊

BAD MONKEY is a continuous breath of fresh, snarky air surrounding a murder mystery and black magic on the side. My only suggestion is to change the title. Viewers will understand.

E1-E2 🤩 

I wasn’t sure I would want to watch this series, but the plot contains enough characters to raise the entertainment level. It isn’t even that absurd…so far, including an adorable BAD MONKEY. Be aware. He bites. I loved the joining of two stories juxtaposed to collide in one big fiasco. At least, that is my prediction and theory. But who knows?

E3 NOBODY SAID HE WAS ALVIN EINSTEIN 🤩

BAD MONKEY is a hoot to watch – as long as viewers are Vince Vaughn fans. He is relentless in his non-stop monologues and dialogues. It is like being in a room with a balloon that continually relieves itself as it deflates. It is humorous at its best and eye-rolling at its worst, but no one seems to care as long as it does not end.

E4 NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, I JUST DON’TNEED IT ANYMORE 🤩

BAD MONKEY returned to the beginning and completed every missing piece of information. I guess viewers could call this episode a filler, but it was totally entertaining and necessary. Yancey (Vince Vaughn) makes it all fun and fast-paced, and the narrator’s sarcastic comments keep the story moving forward, even while revisiting the past.”

E5 THAT DAMN ARM IS BACK 🤩 

“BAD MONKEY has not been featuring the little critter much lately, but maybe that’s because the show has been so busy with body bags, sexy morgues, missing phones, and bad concussions. The writers are thickening the plot with all sorts of escapes and lost windows of opportunity. With or without the monkey, it is all very exciting excitement topped with sarcastic, biting humor.

E6 YO, WOULD YOU TELL MS. CHASE I STILL LOVE HER LIKE CRAZY 🤩

“BAD MONKEY came face to face with a manatee and finally got clarity. The writers brought the series’ three plots together most unusually. Yancy (Vince Vaughn) was looking for a get-out-of-jail card without first listening to another ‘pickle speech,’ and it all worked brilliantly.

E7 A BAD DAY TO BE A CAT PERSON 😊 

“BAD MONKEY is at a crossroads, or at least all the main characters. Stakeouts, turning away, or changing core values do not seem to be helping. I imagine everyone needs more time to consider their options since three more episodes remain.

E8 THE RUSSIAN MOB IS VERY ACTIVE IN KEY WEST 😊

“BAD MONKEY is lining up all their ducks in a row to hopefully come together for the finale. Several loose ends seem to have gone astray.

E9 YOU REALLY DON’T WANT TO KILL THIS LITTLE SCRUMPTIOUS PUPPY 🤩 

“This week’s BAD MONKEY was riveting, exciting, and thoroughly entertaining. The writers brought all the necessary characters together as the storm drew near. It was one of the best episodes.

E10 WE’RE IN THE MEMORY MAKING BUSINESS 🤩

“BAD MONKEY’s finale ended with a wink and a nod for possibly another season. This would be great for the “cop of the world” who has the gift to gab and instincts to solve homicides. Yancy (Vince Vaughn) can’t be a health inspector forever.
