monk be just about the bad detective series that have be air on uk tv . i do not know why the viewer in the usa rave about this rubbish . it be about a riveting and exciting a find that someone have empty a trash can on your doorstep the first thing in the morning . thank goodness that it be only air on the hallmark channel in the uk . to watch this and get into rapture about it be beyond me . when you think of all the great series that have reach these shore from the usa and it be an insult to the american people to think that they can actually enjoy this rubbish and and can not actually wait until the next episode be air . i just can not see how tony shaloub can keep you rivet to your screen . i cant think of one movie where i have think and oh great and tony shaloub be in this movie . i cant wait for the day when monk be no longer air on uk tv . his charismatic presence be zero . the only way that this series be in the least watchable and be if he be not in it .
