I just finished the season finale of Bad Monkey.

It was well worth the time spent and I encourage anyone with access to an apple tv+ login to consider it. Similar to a Hot Fuzz set in the Florida Keys, with the difference that the protagonist is a local instead of a transplant. There are still a lot of colorful local characters.

It was a single season of 10 episodes, based on a book. The author of said book apparently has, among his lengthy bibliography, at least one other novel featuring this same protagonist with an unknown number of the side characters. Not a sequel or a prequel, but another story in the same universe.

At first I was unhappy with how some of the characters plot lines resolved, but in hindsight they get endings that make sense within the universe.

I would absolutely be up for a rewatch in a year or so.
