A familiar face returns to our screens with this TV movie version of Monk. It's been 14 years since we last saw Adrian Monk on our screens (COVID special isn't canon) and the movie feels just as fresh as the TV show did. Hopefully we see more from Monk sooner rather than later and the ending leaves things open for that to happen.
A subplot throughout the story is Monk's preparation for suicide. He has a plan, has been hoarding his medication and we see several allusions to his death. He even tells a dog to give up and die.
In the slightly unusual ending Monk is met by Trudy who tells him she's not alone and doesn't need him to kill himself. Dozens and then hundreds of other ghosts appear as the people who've been killed but had their cases solved by Monk appear.
It would have been nice to see more of the familiar Monk cameos like Sarah Silverman and Andy Richter. Hopefully Marci can make appearance in Monk 2.
