Monk is a dective mystery, with an unusual twist of comedy. Most of us have some obsessive quirks, often times without even knowing it. Monk's are extreme to put it mildly. His days consist of trying to make everything balanced and perfect and all the while he has a keen sense of remembering everything and, in short order, noticing the clues in each murder case that most people miss. His detective skills are uncanny. Each episode is a story all its own. It doesn't leave you hanging from one episode to the next. Tony Shalhoub is the perfect actor for this part. Funny, smart and with a very sweet human side too, especially when he struggles with the loss of his wife. This is a "whodoneit" that won't give you nightmares. Enjoy!!
