4 minutes in and I can't take anymore
I'm starting to believe that the execs over at Apple's streaming business believe that, if the cinematography looks all right, literally nothing else is needed.
This show starts off with a voiceover doing some snarky exposition, which I'm like, okay, let's give it a chance. Then there's a scene on a boat with absolutely wooden acting and zero appeal whatsoever.
It then transitions to a house on land with completely unrelated characters and uses a solid two minutes straight of info dumping PLUS more snarky VO. Absolute turn-off at this point, so that was the end of Bad Monkey for me.
The synopsis is too smarmy and tongue-in-cheek, and this show acts like it's in season 5 and is a beloved program that can get away with this sort of thing.
Um, no. It's horribly written and, based on the other reviews I just read, boring to boot.
Folks, this is NOT how you make entertaining television. Throw this show into the ocean along with that cheap looking prop of a human hand and start over with something better.
