Season 1 Review:
While this is true, the episodes sometimes drag, and “Bad Monkey” feels like proof that we need to bring back 30-minute comedies. Although it’s frustrating to watch at times and almost outstays its welcome, it’s clear that there is something special here. Unfortunately, it just takes too long to discover this spark.

Season 1 Review:
The skinny, barely plausible story feels overstretched at 10 episodes and the energy ebbs away in a closing episode in which loose ends are not so much tied up as scrunched into a ball of paper and tossed into the nearest wastebasket. But as a character piece that serves up a snapshot of eccentric Florida life, Bad Monkey is a tale slips down as easily as a sundowner on a moonlit beach.

Season 1 Review:
Unfortunately, the series is just as infatuated with its over-the-top protagonist—and as exhausting in its relentless quirk—as his [Bill Lawrence's] recent comedies. The best decision Lawrence and Tarses made in bringing Hiaasen’s book to the small screen was to cast Vaughn. .... Standout supporting performances by Jodie Turner-Smith, Rob Delaney, and Michelle Monaghan also go a long way toward mitigating the script’s silliness.

Season 1 Review:
Sad as it may be, his [Vince Vaughn's] presence is hardly enough to muster enthusiasm for further trips into this peculiar world, with an atmosphere unable to stand out from its contemporaries nor leave any semblance of a lasting impression. It’s hardly bad, but this is one monkey that’s a bit too bananas to truly appreciate.
