[G]oing by the first reactions to their brand-new Vince Vaughn comedy-drama, it looks like the Apple TV Plus library has gained yet another must-watch show.

The show we’re talking about is “Bad Monkey”, a new black comedy detective drama based on the 2013 book of the same name by Carl Hiaasen.

As a streaming writer, I do my best to check out as much TV as possible. Now, I’ve already dipped into the opening episode of “Bad Monkey”, and I’d wager it’ll be hard not to get sucked into this breezy black comedy.

Vaughn’s a charismatic lead from the get-go, one who bounces off the rest of the ensemble well, and the show’s wicked sense of humor already has me laughing. What I’ve seen of the show so far has convinced me to add “Bad Monkey” to my weekly rotation of shows.

If my reaction’s not enough to convince you, then maybe reactions from critics will be. On the review aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes, the series is certified Fresh, and currently holds a 92% critics’ score, from a total of 26 reviews. The show doesn’t currently have an audience score, but seeing as it only dropped today, that makes sense.

The critical consensus reads: “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.”
