Bad Monkey Series-Premiere Recap: A Tale of Two Beaches


The vibes are excellent in Bill Lawrence and Vince Vaughn’s adaptation of Carl Hiaasen’s cult classic.

Set in Miami, Key West, and the island of Andros in the Bahamas, it’s a deeply humorous, sprawling mystery that enlists a list of eccentric characters longer than the severed arm at the story’s center. The series utilizes an omniscient narrator to bring Hiaasen’s distinctive voice to the show and punctuate the proceedings with wickedly funny observations on the inner lives of the wild characters. As she’s grieving Nick’s death, we see her wander by a man named Neville (Ronald Peet) at his soon-to-be demolished fishing shack on the island of Andros.
