Bill Lawrence's latest series at Apple TV+ is not another Ted Lasso, instead offering up on overcomplicated genre mashup.
After Bill Lawrence tapped into one of the most beloved shows in recent years withHis new comedy-drama is a big mess. Not an unwatchable or maddening one per se, but a mess nonetheless. It’s overstuffed and overwritten—showcasing dozens of characters and unnecessary subplots—yet also possesses that charming quality that makes Lawrence’s light-hearted shows a delight. It may be the book’s fault , but the plot of its TV version comes off as contrived and needlessly chaotic from the start.
Alongside him, we’re forced to follow seemingly never-ending threads that introduce eccentric characters like an insufferable real estate bro, the bitchy widow of the man the arm belonged to, a Voodoo Dragon Queen Lady in the Bahamas, and several others who are involved in the case one way or another—or not at all. Oh, and there’s also a monkey that has nothing to do with anything, but it’s here anyway because… well, the title.
Though Lawrence and his writers do their best to sell it as a feel-good comedy by applying over-the-top, goofy humor to the bonkers-yet-likable characters, the result is strangely underwhelming. The well-assembled and diverse cast somewhat improves the constant awkwardness of the series but can’t pull off a miracle. As much as I enjoy Vince Vaughn talking my ear off with ridiculous nonsense, his constant babble is ato endure here.
