Season 1 Review:
The series is a genuine two-hander; when Siobhan and Gilbert investigate together, Forte and Cullen’s chemistry and their mutual commitment to fleshing out their characters’ neuroses helps the show jump off the screen in ways its subdued style otherwise wouldn’t allow.

Season 1 Review:
One of the big problems with “Bodkin” is that it hardly adds up to much. All of the investigation goes to some absurd places, and I don’t think that was intentional. And there are plot holes galore along the way. The denouement, incomplete and hard to believe, may test your patience.

Season 1 Review:
I kept waiting for the series (from Jez Scharf, who is showrunner with Alex Metcalf) to find its narrative footing, but it lacks the kind of methodical unraveling needed to sustain interest. The cast of characters remain undeveloped beyond their surface-level tropes.

Season 1 Review:
Plot points, including a mysterious death partway through, are lazily explained away. Heinous acts don’t match up with the characters who supposedly committed them. Identities are discovered and then go unexplored. With shoddy plotting and chaotic pacing, Bodkin falls far short of the thought-provoking satire that it aims for.
