As a movie critic with a deep appreciation for quirky, character-driven comedies and a soft spot for Florida’s unique charm, I’m thrilled to see Apple TV+’s new series “Bad Monkey,” based on Carl Hiaasen’s beloved book. Vince Vaughn‘s portrayal of Andrew Yancy, a disgraced cop-turned-health inspector in the Keys, immediately grabbed my attention.

In this production, Vaughn portrays the character of Andrew Yancy, who was previously dismissed from the Miami Police Department and now works as a health inspector in the Keys.
