Bodkin centres around Dove (Siobhán Cullen), a tough investigative journalist whose latest scoop had some intended tragic consequences.
, a new comedy thriller series with a central mystery involving several quintessential Irish things – the Catholic Church, the Troubles, old Gaelic celebrations to name but a few. And though not as wholly successful as Apple TV+’s similar in tone Irish-set show Bad Sisters, the latest Netflix original’s intriguing premise and fun performances will probably make it an appealing watch for fans of similar investigative stories.
While Gilbert seems content to just report on the festival and gather a few spooky stories about what could have been the cause for the disappearances, Dove starts digging deeper. Soon enough, the three have uncovered some bombshell revelations. But in doing so, they put themselves in great peril. Often such plot diversions and red herrings slow the momentum of the show and detract from the simple if effective premise of this central trio discovering the sinister underbelly lurking under what appears to be a quaint, idyllic place.
Similarly, it’s hard to tell whether Gilbert’s po-faced, solemn narration that bookends episodes is a parody of true crime podcasters or something audiences should be taking seriously.
