Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the dark comedy thriller Bodkin, a group of podcasters arrive at an idyllic Irish town hoping to uncover the truth behind a long-forgotten disappearance, only to be confronted with a mystery bigger than they ever imagined.

The Balance Between Comedy & Drama Makes Bodkin Unique Will Forte and Siobhán Cullen work well as mismatched reporters The seven-episode series was created by Jez Scharf and executive produced by the Obamas as Higher Ground’s first scripted series after previously producing acclaimed politically charged documentaries like American Factory.

Gilbert and Dove's conflicting work ethic is a major source of tension as they struggle to work together and solve Bodkin's mystery effectively. Forte channels his comedic skill and previous experience on Saturday Night Live to make Gilbert a likable, albeit often gullible, protagonist, while Cullen’s character is often so brash, pessimistic, and impulsive as to be somewhat off-putting.
