Review of Monk

Monk (2002–2009)
7/10
Entertaining who-dunnit with quirky spin
12 May 2020
After all these years, it's taken the COVID19 lockdown to provide time to watch this entertaining series. Classic Agatha Christie-esque detective comedy drama with believable characters and funny lines. Bitty who plays Sharona is the heroine of the show and she becomes more interesting with each episode. Monk (Tony Shalhoub) has Aspergic tendencies compounded with OCD that is endearing at 1st but, eventually irritating. I imagine that is the intention of the writers which is why the season survived for 7 years.

Overall, an entertaining gem that has earned it's star in the TV walk of fame and conversational references. 'Everyone' familiar with Western World pop culture over the age of 25 knows what you mean if someone is described as 'Monk'.
