Bodkin (Netflix) -- S: Will Forte -- Dark comedy thriller -- Premieres 5/9/24



SYNOPSIS

BODKIN is a dark comedic thriller about a motley crew of podcasters (Will Forte, Siobhán Cullen, Robyn Cara) who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in a quaint, coastal Irish town. But once they start pulling at threads, they discover a story much bigger and weirder than they could have ever imagined. As our heroes try to discern fact from fiction - about the case, about their colleagues, and, most painfully, themselves - the series challenges our perception of truth and exposes the stories we tell ourselves to justify our beliefs or validate our fears.

BODKIN is a Higher Ground production.

Release Date: May 9, 2024

Episodes: 7 episodes x 1 hour

Kind of surprise that Barack and Michelle Obama are excutive director of the show.

I was wondering the same thing. How did they get involved in producing an Irish series?

That said, I'm four episodes in, and I like it. The acting overall is great, the quirkiness also isn't overdone. Love the running gags, like Sean always disappearing.

Wife and I are through 5 of the 7. Fun show. Just enough mystery to keep you curious.

Question on the end.
Spoiler:
After Seamus detonated the bomb, the next scene we see back at the shore, he's gone and all of the elderly gang members in clan sheets were all on the ground (dead)? Dove punctured Seamus' boat.

Where did Seamus go? Just run down the shore?

What killed(?) all of the gang?

What did the Interpol people do, seeing the bomb go off? We never saw them again, even though they were right there to see a bomb go off near a crowd.

I watched this over the last 3 nights. An under-the-radar pleasant surprise. Enjoyed it.
