A podcaster, his assistant, and a journalist travel to Ireland to investigate a cold case in Netflix’s Bodkin. Described as a dark comedic thriller, the trailer reveals that the Irish townsfolk aren’t thrilled about being invaded by a podcast team and definitely aren’t ready to disclose all their secrets to strangers who are determined to dredge up unwelcome memories.
Will Forte stars as Gilbert Power, the podcaster; Robyn Cara plays Gilbert’s assistant, Emmy Sizerghy; and Siobhán Cullen stars as Dove, the investigative journalist who reluctantly joins forces with Gilbert. The cast also includes Chris Walley as Sean O’Shea and David Wilmot as Seamus. Pom Boyd, Fionnula Flanagan, Áine Ní Mhuirí, Charlie Kemp, Pat Shortt, Ger Kelly, Denis Conway, and John Olohan guest star.
Bodkin follows “a motley crew of podcasters who set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in a quaint, coastal Irish town.

NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 8
One of the strongest relationships in NOS4A2 has been the father-daughter connection between Chris and Vic McQueen. They fought, certainly, and Chris undoubtedly made a lot of mistakes, but there was no mistaking the bond of love that they shared, and the closeness that they once had. Vic, as seen in the opening moments of “Chris McQueen,” always seemed to be her father’s shadow, chasing after him even when he ran away. Eventually, through the twin forces of time and her own motherhood, she stopped. He kept pushing until she gave up, allowing him to run from his own mistakes in much the same way his father once ran from him. In the end, Larry McQueen died, leaving behind a son who didn’t know him. In the end, Chris McQueen dies, but perhaps leaves behind a daughter who understands him...

NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 4
For as much skill as Bing Partridge (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) has with connecting to children, Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto) is no slouch in that department, either. He might not be able to talk to kids on their level as well as Bing, but there’s just something about Charlie, and the tantalizing lure of Christmasland, that speaks to children in a way that’s difficult to resist. Throughout “The Lake House,” Charlie is putting a full-court press on Wayne (Jason David) to get him to take a seat in the back of the Wraith, and thanks to the many difficulties Wayne has at home, Charlie’s rap is working on him.
Hence, Charlie’s targeting of children from broken or neglectful homes, and Charlie’s targeting of broken people to be his assistants. Both antagonists, Bing and Charlie, have a special sort...

Exclusive: AMC Networks has acquired the rights to Mona Awad’s (13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl) anticipated forthcoming novel Bunny to develop as a television series.
Playwright Megan Mostyn-Brown is attached to write the pilot as part of her overall deal with AMC. Bunny will be released June 11 by Viking, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
The novel tells the story of Samantha Heather Mackey, who couldn’t be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective Mfa program at New England’s Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, Samantha is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort—a clique of unbearably twee yet menacing rich girls who call each other “Bunny.” When Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies’ fabled “Smut Salon,” everything suddenly changes and she finds herself inexplicably drawn...

Gotham, Season 2, Episode 9, “A Bitter Pill to Swallow”
Written by Megan Mostyn-Brown
Directed by Louis Shaw Milito
Airs Mondays at 8pm (Et) on Fox
This week’s episode of Gotham stops the momentum of the season pretty much dead in its tracks, as Galavan’s incarceration puts him out of play for the time being. Instead, this installment offers a fairly inconsequential chapter that allows Gordon to be diverted by Barbara’s number one fan Tabitha, who has decided to place a hit on Gordon’s head.
The season of Gotham has shown brief flashes of Tabitha’s character, presenting her as a psychopath who might have feelings for Barbara –although it’s hard to tell how deep Tabitha’s feelings for her are, as she tends to flirt with just about anyone (Barbara, Butch, even Galavan). Tabitha’s feelings for Barbara have been so subtle and uninteresting that it...

Gotham Season 1, Episode 18: ‘Everyone Has A Cobblepot’
Written by Megan Mostyn-Brown
Directed by Bill Eagles
Aired Mondays at 8pm (Et) on Fox
This week’s episode of Gotham follows up “Red Hood” just after Alfred’s wounding, which brings a reunion between Gordon and Bruce. But instead of progressing Bruce’s story, this episode prolongs their separation again for another week so that Gordon can make some genuine headway in establishing some order within the Gcpd. This has been an ongoing process for Gordon in making a change to the corrupt system, and his effect on it has been gradual, as every time Gordon thinks he has made a significant achievement, he finds that he has only cured a symptom and not the cause. This has been a beat that Gotham has repeated a few times during this second half of the season, and it’s almost to the point of being overly repetitive,...

1.13 Welcome Back, Jim Gordon
Holy convenient plot parallels, Batman! This week’s Gotham saw Jim on a bulldog-like quest for justice as layers upon layers of corruption within the Gotham City Police Department revealed themselves. Like last week’s ‘about ruddy time’ pay-off on a long-teased gang war, it was a relief this week to the see the oft-mentioned corruption within the Gcpd actually become a central part of the plot.
Just as Broadchurch is currently presenting ITV viewers with a distorted reflection of its core case via the unsolvable Sandbrook mystery, Gotham this week used Detective Flass to show Jim the dark path he could well be starting on by asking Oswald for help. The episode’s coda - which saw Detective...

Gotham Season 1, Episode 13: “Welcome Back, Jim Gordon”
Written by Megan Mostyn-Brown
Directed by Wendey Stanzler
Airs Mondays at 8pm Et on Fox
This week’s episode of Gotham is a transitional point for the season, as the events of the last episode changed the status quo for many of the characters. It is typically difficult for an episode following a climactic event to continue the momentum and also set up the stage for what is to come, but this episode manages to find enough interesting beats to play, with only a few instances of padding.
More than anything, this episode is a spotlight on Fish Mooney, showing her as she handles her fall from power with a relentless sense of superiority, which causes her to lose her last bit of muscle, Butch, in order to humble her. It’s a well made parallel to Jim Gordon’s rise to prominence,...
