Vince Vaughn Stars in New Comedy Bad Monkey

Fans of the new comedy series "Bad Monkey," created by Bill Lawrence, the mind behind the acclaimed "Ted Lasso," have noted its similarities to the hit football show. The 10-part series, adapted from Carl Hiaasen’s bestselling novel, follows Andrew Yancy, played by Vince Vaughn, a former Miami police officer turned health inspector in the Florida Keys. The plot thickens when Yancy discovers a human arm, leading him on a quest to prove murder and reclaim his former job amidst a cast of eccentric Floridian characters and a troublesome monkey. Streaming exclusively on Apple TV+, "Bad Monkey" is available for £8.99 a month, with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers.

Scott Caldwell, Michelle Monaghan, and Jodie Turner-Smith, enhancing its appeal to viewers. Ahead of its release, "Bad Monkey" has garnered positive reviews, achieving a Certified Fresh rating of 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have drawn parallels between Vaughn's character and the beloved Ted Lasso, with some fans describing the series as a "beachy crime drama drowning in Ted Lasso quirk." Enthusiastic viewers have praised the show, with one stating it is "as good if not better than the book." "Bad Monkey" is now available for streaming on Apple TV+, promising a blend of humor and crime drama that fans of Lawrence's previous works are sure to enjoy.
