Review of Bodkin

Bodkin (2024– )
9/10
Peculiar mix of dark humour and adventure
15 May 2024
This might not be everyone's cup of mushroom tea, but for those who come from cultures where dark humour is a way of life like Ireland here, this show will be incredibly entertaining. Unlike many murder mystery shows, its not taking the direction of only focusing on presently evolving situation but rather diving into and re-living the past events. Ofcourse it also revolves in the present and I was as curious to see what happened 20 years ago as much as whats happening in the present. Im sure this show is not the only one to do this (Archive 81 comes to mind) but i really enjoyed that. The location, town of Bodkin in is a perfect setting for mystery, it adds to the atmosphere so much, the small coastal place far away enough to be perfect hiding place for some people. The characters are ok, i didnt really like Gilbert as much as Dove or Emmy but they delivered as a team, very obviously not from Bodkin as many locals will have no problem pointing out and referring to them as "the podcasters". Locals were my favorite characters anyway. Anyway, if you like dark humour adventure-murder mystery you will love this.
