If you like wise-cracking smartass cops stuck in a world of pain (suspended, demoted, a floating body part) and beautiful locations (Florida, the Bahamas) then Vince Vaughn's "Bad Monkey" is for you.
Here's how you can watch "Bad Monkey" online around the world and from anywhere with a VPN.
Released: Wednesday, April 14
Global stream: Apple TV Plus
Episodes: 10
From the point he makes his entrance, it's hard to imagine anybody else playing the part of Andrew Yancy and if you've read Carl Hiaasen's "Bad Monkey" book from 2013 and imagined anybody other than Vince Vaughn as the ex-cop/restaurant inspector/trouble magnet you'll be forced to reevaluate your decision-making.
Something, thankfully, Yancy singly fails to do throughout this superb 10-part miniseries. Grieving widows, ex-girlfriends, black magic and murder in the murky world of Florida property developers is absolutely where he belongs as he strives to get out of the restaurant inspector business in a hurry.
Here's how to watch "Bad Monkey" from anywhere, including details of the Apple TV Plus free trials you can take advantage of.
