A vibrant riff on the P.I. serials of television's yesteryear, Bad Monkey is a breezy good time that fully leverages Vince Vaughn's motormouth charms.

Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Bad Monkey manages to weave together stressful stories without ever placing that burden on the audience. It’s a breezy and genial experience even when it’s dealing with some ugly things. Sep 6, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) The show is rife with funny bits and provides helpful lessons in trades such as medical fraud, but it also illuminates the characters in unexpectedly telling ways. Rated: 4/5 Aug 23, 2024 Full Review Eddie Mair Times (UK) Vaughn has a great vehicle here, and if you miss Bruce Willis on screen, as we all do, there are moments Vaughn is a convincing lookie-likie, only with a bit more hair. Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL A downside is that while Vaughn is always an engagingly sardonic presence, at 54, he feels too old for the role... Still, the show is worth sticking with if only for nostalgia. Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked Bad Monkey is mostly just a good time — a shaggy comic mystery that goes down as smooth as a rum cocktail by the beach. Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media The mystery is convoluted but breezy, and Vaughn is charming if you're into Vince Vaughn. Aug 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

annette J Great cast! Funny, easy, entertaining. Feels old school funny. Classic Vince Vaughn. We're all missing this right now. and ps....why do people rate a show when they aren't a fan of the leading actor to begin with. idiots. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Dione M Tobme this is as easy to watch as a "beach read" is to read. It is a fun and sometimes charming romp, and an easy escape. Totally enjoyable entertainment. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Ravenswood R We watched the first episode, looked at each other and said "no." Utterly implausible in about 50 ways, not funny, and tedious. VV's lazy acting and "casual cool guy" routine is so sleepy and tired at this point the whole thing makes you want to take a nap instead. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Christophe T Funny entertaining and a stellar cast ! Love Dragon Lady ! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Glenn U Great cast with the right mix of comedy and drama. Somehow, the show is still light-hearted even though there's some serious stuff happening. There's at least one glaring plot hole and you may not like it if you're not a Vince Vaughn fan (he talks ALOT) but it's a fun watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review alan g Sorry but nothing with vince vaughn to me is enjoyable. Pass. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
