In Netflix's comedic thriller, Will Forte and Siobhán Cullen seek journalistic absolution and find a whole lot of trouble
True-crime podcasts have just as many fans as haters, and there’s a chance that Bodkin , the Netflix series from Jez Scharf that premieres May 9 about a trio of bickering podcasters, will appeal to both. In a sense, Scharf’s mystery series, set in a beautiful, isolated Irish village, is optimal content for the Netflix binging model.
It’s important to note who’s paying Gilbert and why because it reveals what Scharf thinks about the state of modern journalism and how it embraces sensationalized gimmicks as a financial crutch. Paired with Emmy, a researcher whose city-mouse naivete will soon be put to the test , Gilbert’s pursuit of the story dredges up skeletons he’d prefer were kept stashed away until his new hit podcast is in the can. Maybe even after that.
