I was trying to think of a way to describe the series Bodkin, a seven-episode series which dropped last May on Netflix, and I kept coming back to the same thing over and over again: Only Murders in the Building, but in Ireland. I really tried, but that really captures it perfectly.
If you’ve never seen Only Murders in the Building, it’s a series over on Hulu starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena 
Gomez about three residents of a building in Manhattan who love true crime podcasts who decide to host their own podcast when someone in their own building gets murdered. The essence of the show is that these three adorable people are surrounded by other adorable people and they all seem unfazed by people dropping dead all around them, probably because they are adorable people in adorable surroundings. Well, Bodkin is like that, but it’s Ireland.
Rashida Jones has long ago shed her nepo baby label and deserves credit for crafting her own fascinating, well-rounded career that I bet nobody saw coming. As the daughter of music legend Quincy Jones and actress/model Peggy Lipton, she probably could have done anything she wanted (especially after graduating from Harvard in 1997), but she decided to follow her mother’s footsteps into acting and soared to fame as the loveable best friend Ann Perkins on the long-running NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation (2009-2015). Since then, she’s made indie films (On the Rocks), adult animation (Duncanville), apocalyptic sci-fi (Silo), another mainstream sitcom (Angie Tribeca) and an 
offbeat, off-the-radar comedy series (Toast of Tinseltown). In other words, there’s no anticipating her next move and there’s nothing she won’t—or can’t—do.
