Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe detectives in San Macros, Captain Alameda and Lieutenant Plato, are thinly disguised versions of Captain Stottlemeyer and Lieutenant Disher. Alameda has the same mustache as Stottlemeyer and Plato is Spanish for "dish" or "plate". Additionally, Alameda and Plato wear the same suits that Stottlemeyer and Disher are wearing.
This is the start of a recurring trope (more common to see in the series of Monk novels by Lee Goldberg), where every police department that Monk consults for has equivalents of Stottlemeyer and Disher. The novels "Mr. Monk Goes to Germany" and "Mr. Monk Is Miserable" are good examples of this.
- GoofsThe pillowcases Monk takes with him are white, but in "Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum (2002)," Sharona says that he sleeps only on dark-colored pillowcases.
- Quotes
Adrian Monk: That officer out there told me I was dead. I'm not dead, am I?
Featured review
Drowned in the Air
A student jumps from an airplane and does not open his parachute. The coroner Dr. Madero concludes in the autopsy that he drowned in the air. The Major of San Franscisco asks Monk to travel to San Macros, Mexico to investigate the case, and he goes with Sharona by car. On the arrival, his luggage is robbed, and Monk has problem to drink other brand of water. Capt. Alameda and Lt. Plato from the Mexican police give all the assistance to Monk that learns that one year ago, another teenager from San Francisco died in a mysterious circumstance and the recent victim won free skydiving lesson. Monk begins his investigation.
"Mr. Monk Goes to Mexico" is a funny and silly episode of "Monk". Monk thirsty because his mineral water was stolen is ridiculous. The case is well-resolved in the end. Unfortunately, this season has an awful title song, worse than the one in the first season. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Monk Vai ao México" ("Monk Goes to Mexico")
