The story follows an American podcaster, Gilbert (played by Will Forte), and his team as they investigate three long-cold disappearances in the mysterious village of Bodkin, Ireland.

The blend of true crime elements, dark humor, and stunning scenery has catapulted “Bodkin” back into Netflix’s Top 10 lists in multiple countries. Critics and viewers alike have praised the series for its balance of atmosphere and character, giving it a solid 73% on Rotten Tomatoes.
