🎬 Bodkin (2025) – Every town has secrets. Some won’t stay buried.

They came to find a story. They found a legend that bites back

Bodkin is a darkly comic mystery-thriller from Netflix, blending gripping true-crime satire with eerie small-town suspense. Set in a remote Irish village cloaked in fog and folklore, the series follows a trio of podcasters whose quest for the truth stirs up ghosts—both metaphorical and maybe not so metaphorical.

The story centers on Dove (Siobhán Cullen), a sharp-tongued investigative journalist exiled from mainstream media, who reluctantly partners with Gilbert (Will Forte), a cheerful American podcaster, and Emmy (Robyn Cara), an eager researcher. Their target? A decades-old disappearance that seems too bizarre to be real—but soon spirals into something far stranger and far darker than they ever expected.

As the crew digs deeper, they face resistance from locals, twisted rumors, and an ever-thickening cloud of mystery. What begins as an investigative podcast project morphs into a harrowing descent into obsession, paranoia, and folklore come alive. With each new discovery, the question grows louder: are they uncovering a crime... or waking something that should’ve been left alone?

Shot with atmospheric charm and laced with biting humor, Bodkin is both a love letter to investigative storytelling and a cautionary tale about the dangers of chasing truth in the wrong places. It’s Only Murders in the Building meets Broadchurch—with a shot of Irish whiskey and a whisper in the woods.
