Just finished up the seven episode run of Bodkin on Netflix. It caught my eye because Will Forte was in it and I hadn't really seen him in anything since The Last Man On Earth was canceled abruptly. But he actually doesn't star in it. He gets a "and Will Forte" with a fourth billing which makes sense since he's basically a supporting character. The real star is Siobhán Cullen as Dove Maloney, followed by Robyn Cara as Emmy Sizergh and David Wilmot as Seamus Gallagher. It's about podcaster Gilbert Power (Forte) who journeys to the Irish coastal town of Bodkin to research the disappearance of three people during the Samhain festival 25 years before.
Cullen plays an investigative journalist from Dublin who's trying to distance herself from her own indiscretions. Cara is Gilbert's assistant and an aspiring journalist and Wilmot has the meatiest role as a fisherman with lots and lots of things to hide. I loved him in The Guard where he played the self described "sociopath not a psychopath" Liam O'Leary. It starts out well enough then gets better and draws you in. But then it goes on a little too long and the ending sort of sputters and fizzles. It's still worth a watch though.
