Bodkin, netflix

[newnamethanks]

Is anyone watching this? Highly recommended , it's odd and funny. Couple of podcasters,
one American, one Brit, head to a small Irish village to uncover an old mystery. The eels are a particularly inspired move. Go for it.

I’m on episode two and I’m enjoying it!

Yes, but slowly! It's surprisingly ok for a Netflix production. We're only on the third episode now though so I've seen no eels yet.

Definitely going to give this a go next time I take a sub out. Thanks. Sounds intriguing.

Somehow reminds me of Scooby Do

Described in a review as "a combination of Twin Peaks and Father Ted".

@newnamethanks that sums it up. I am trying to follow it butit is slightly bewildering!
Chuck in a bit of Young Offenders!

I'm on episode 3, it's brilliant!

I’m enjoying it too…Anybody spot the Executive Producers? The Obamas no less!

Really?

Just watched it and have some questions about the ending. Are spoilers allowed?

Just watched it & really enjoyed it!

Featuring Mrs Doyle's evil twin

It's very good

I'm enjoying it, but annoyingly keep falling asleep when I watch it in the evening.

I've watched the first episode thanks to this thread and really enjoyed it. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Barack and Michele Obama in the titles!!

I'm.on episode 5 and think it's great. Really entertaining and a good story woth twists and turns. And it's funny. Great locations.

Good to hear. Been thinking about giving this a go, will have a look tomorrow.

Finished it now and while one of Netflix’s better offerings it’s not actually good. All Netflix productions in my opinion suffer from poor tempo, and the script keeps veering off into all these sidelines that they don’t really manage to hold together very well. The good stuff is some authentic irishness like when people don’t actually tell you anything but answer questions with “sure you know yourself” l ;) and some good actors. But no, it doesn’t really hang together.

I agree it was ok but I have some questions about the ending! Maybe I’m thick but what happened to the guy at the end? The one who blew up the device?

God I’ll be honest I was looking at my phone at that point, beyond caring. 😂

I really liked it but did wonder how annoying it might be if you were Irish!

My husband really liked it. We are Irish. We live about 40 miles from where a lot was filmed.
I met an electrician on Friday who could have been in Bodkin. We had a baffling conversation.

You did? Did you manage to find out where he keeps his eels? If not, you'll have to speak to him again . . .

I will have to organise a small electrical issue to lure him back.

😀

I asked my husband who says that he wouldn't be surprised if Dave the electrician has a tank of eels. Or knows a man who does.
