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.
