Bodkin: The Obama-produced crime series set in West Cork

Created by Jez Scharf and executive produced by the Obamas (yes really), Bodkin is the new comedic thriller that landed on Netflix earlier this month – and it’s already proving to be a favourite.

As per the official synopsis, the series centres on a “motley crew of podcasters” (Will Forte, Siobhán Cullen, Robyn Cara) who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in a quaint, coastal town in West Cork. But when they get there and start pulling at threads, they find that the story is much bigger (and darker) than they ever imagined. 

Having already binge-watched the first five episodes (out of seven), I can confirm that it’s funny, intriguing and with enough twists and turns to keep you engaged to the end. I caught up with the cast ahead of its premiere to pick their brains on the Irish preoccupation with death, what they hope audiences will take from this show and the other films/series they’ve been loving.
