Did anyone watch the first (and only) season of Lucky Hank (based on the Russo novels)? I started it but got a few episodes behind and never bothered to finish it. Odenkirk was great as usual, I just didn't find the story compelling enough and the supporting characters' were a bit of a drag.
Other TV recommendation: The Decameron
It's kind of like White Lotus set in 14th century Tuscany amidst the Black Plague.
I love both Russo and Hiassen so may give this a whirl. I can't believe I'm being a bloody Ted Lasso pendant but "living an embittered English soccer town" - bruv, it's set in London, not Sheffield or summat.
This just made me wonder what counts as today’s highfalutin tv thats actually great. Also, is this the best of apple tv handing a big star their own show?
"Bad Monkey’s woolly plot sees Yancy get caught up in a murder-for-hire scheme involving Eve Stripling (Meredith Hagner), a rich widow Yancy thinks helped kill her Medicare fraudster husband, Christopher (Rob Delaney), whose severed hairy arm with middle finger raised has washed up in the Florida Keys, where Yancy leads his comfortable life of petty indignities."
Wait, isn't Christopher Eve's boyfriend, not her dead husband?
"First person who says “Vince Vaugnaissance” gets nut punched"
All right boys, pack your bags and ball up them fists, we're going on a Nut-Punch Pilgrimage to Fresno.
Make sure you don't miss, he's got notoriously long balls
Reading your and Brian Grubb's respective takes on this show is a testament to two very different voices, which I mean as a compliment to both of you.

Ah, well. Alas. "Amongst a milieu of embittered soccer supporters" doesn't have the same ring to it, I guess.
This sounds like Burn Notice meets try-hard 90s smarmy noir.
Also, when did Vince Vaughn get cosmetic surgery to look like a de-aged Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Welll... I guess my comment was a bit premature
"Mel Gibson is notably a semi-canceled actor. Does that make Vince Vaughn also a semi-canceled actor?"
Why the fuck would it?
