Adrian Monk is a brilliant San Francisco detective, whose obsessive compulsive disorder just happens to get in the way. Monk definitely benefits from terrific perfomances by Tony Shalhoub (Men in Black) but also Ted Levine (The Hills Have Eyes, Silence of the Lambs and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom). The show is mixing comedy with mystery but it does it in a way that doesn't come as cheesy on screen but rather funny and really entertaining. Plus alot of cameos from many actors in some episodes that will definitely suprise viewers for sure. (10/10)

Monk has been my favorite show ever since I first saw it. I have watched the series three times through, and have plans to watch it again. The creators of Monk have made gold, a show for the ages. If you are not sure about watching the show, and looking for reasons to watch it or not to watch it my biased opinion I say watch it. Each episode contains a mystery that captures your attention, and the writers keep an overlapping story line throughout the hole series that makes you want to watch the next episode right away. All of the main characters and sub-characters are well developed, and strong in their own right. I absolutely loved this show, and recommend it to any one that says they enjoy crime dramas. In my opinion it is one of the funniest crime dramas out there as well. Tony Shalhoub become my favorite actor from this show, he plays such a difficult character with such perfection, it is just amazing.

The best Show ever in my list i was not sure about it in the beginning but i loved it Great acting performance andgreat plot great detective skills and you can't hate this beloved series it s from the best series in the whole world the story is great but the ending is not that good because it was somehow poorly ended wish it was different but the whole process of solving thecase is genius and how they did the character and catchphraseslike you ll thank me later and more than i can think about it Tony Shalhoub is a genius in inhabiting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of this character. I myself am an obsessive-compulsive, and he gets the experience of suffering from this disease exactly. I watch this show regularly. It's therapeutic (partly because I get all the OCD jokes and get to laugh at myself) - and HILARIOUS, even if you don't know anything about OCD! Shalhoub completely deserves the Best Actor Emmy and SAG Awards he's won for this role. Shalhoub's sweet, anxious genius, Adrian Monk, is dead- on. And Bitty Schram as his nurse is also hilarious and so marvelous! I highly recommend you watch this show!

Tony Shaloub deserved his Emmy award for playing the title character, Adrian Monk, in the series. Bitty Schram was perfect as Sharona Fleming, his nurse and sidekick. The late great Stanley Kamel was perfect as his understanding psychiatrist. Ted Levine was great as Stottlemyer for the San Francisco police department. Despite being set in San Francisco, California, they filmed the series in Canada. The first season had only twelve episodes where each and every one is perfectly done with great acting and writing. You have guest stars like WIllie Nelson, Garry Marshall, Tim Daly, Brooke Adams, Kevin Nealson, Adam Arkin, and others as well. The murder crime scenes aren't so gruesome but Monk always gets his man or woman in the end. The final episode in the first season included Tony's real life wife Brooke Adams; his former co-star Tim Daly from Wings; and Garry Marshall. The series is a bit quirky at times but entertaining if you're not annoyed by Monk's obsessive compulsive behavior.
