I didn’t understand many things. Is the show based on how the antagonists were caught by the protagonist(s)? Or eventually, how the antagonists achieved their much deserving fate, via……fate? And not by the protagonists? Means, till the last episode, the accounts not being frozen, whilst no one agrees to extradite them, despite involving of the major issue, and that too when the location is the nearby island only. C’mon! And if it was all fate, was there a necessity of all this, as in any case, the antagonists would’ve achieved their fate, via Karma, or whichever way you call it. As even in the end, the protagonist recalls to ‘Let Go’ things in life. Then what was it all about? The issue is, if one episode is of 45 - 50 minutes, then there should be something more. Else, the episodes shouldn’t be of not more than 25 minutes.
In the last episode, I found the series to be bit disconnected. Till the last scene, I thought, now it would be revealed that someone else was running the show. But then, the foundation of the next season was forged.
Bad Monkey could be the metaphor used in the title, but the marketing picture that was used, is like Tintin & Snowy, Alladin & Abu, etc. that one would expect the Protagonist and his Pet together solving the case, yet, the monkey ne’er lives nearby him. I’m not talking about the metaphor; I’m merely talking about the marketing picture.
Rather, had that been revealed in the end that the main antagonist character is alive, it would’ve made sense. Isn’t it?
It felt that everyone is chasing someone, yet, no one is chasing no one. A bit slow, sometimes. And I think in every society, there’re cameras installed, so on the roads, for Surveillance. Yet, the cameras absent at the important places.
I watch such series while travelling, or, on weekends, or, while having coffee/tea. And these are also included in arts. After all, so many minds & hands are involved, included in making any series or a flick. Further, there must’ve been collective consent before releasing. Of course, beauty lies in the eyes of beholders, yet, I hope I’m not wrong in writing the above passive observations.
All said and done, an OK weekend watch.😊
