Episode 6 bad monkey It’s all about running and saving for the last minute. *This episode may very well win the “Best Recap” award ever. “If you want to know why Yancey is in a body bag, watch the previous episode,” narrator Tom Nowitzki said in the recap.

story so far
Law reported Yancey. The crooked cop believes his enemy will now rot in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
*Side note: Thanks to the show’s creator for the multiple mentions of the show, both on the TV show and in the movie with Harrison Ford. “Wanted for a murder he didn’t commit, etc. Plus the fact that an armed man did kill the doctor. (I know, I probably spend too much time watching movies and TV.) Yancey is no Dr. Richard Kimble, but Christopher is an armed killer.
Rosa investigates a drug operation, Bonnie (aka Plover Chase) runs away with her (former) teenage lover; Cody. Bonnie is disturbed to discover that her ex-lover is a walking case of arrested development. As the FBI closed in on her, she took off.
This comes after she had a “meaningful” moment with Jim Yancey’s manatee. Running is Bonnie’s only option right now.
Luo made a last-minute save for Yancey, allowing him to break away from Mendez’s defense. The Dragon Queen believes she too made a last-minute save. She believed she would sell Neville’s land to Eve and Christopher.
Neville’s run landed at Rosa’s feet. Literally.
judgment
bad monkeyall the runs and last-minute saves this week were spot on. Vaughn’s glib narration rolls off his tongue like a liquid machine gun, speaking rapidly and seemingly without interruption.
Kudos to the show’s creators for yet another homage to the Marvel Universe. Especially Ant-Man. The recollections of the eyewitnesses to Rowe’s murder and the doctor’s murder are fascinating. Law (John Ortiz) replaces Lois (Michael Peña) in Ant-Man , riffing on the movie’s “memorize” joke.
bad monkey Successfully received 5 stars this week. The writing and story are still well done making this a must watch TV show. This episode is almost all about running and last minute saving. The show is still streaming on Apple TV+.
