Monk Review

Monk is an amazing TV series that has been on for a few years now.  Adrian Monk is a former homicide detective who was put on psychological leave after the car bombing murder of his beloved wife Trudy.  Monk has always had problems but now they're really amplified.  It just seems so wrong to laugh at a guy with so many problems.  Mr. Monk definitely has Asbergers, and what his assistant, Natalie, and her daughter Julie, like to call issues.  Mr. Monk is very particular and has obvious obsessive compulsive disorder to the point of hurting himself.

The series was made in a very Sherlock Holmes way with Monk as the detective, Natalie his side kick, the Captain and Randy Disher as the kind of screw ups.  Monk also has a dysfunctional nemesis Harrold.

Some phrases you can almost always find in every Monk episode are, "He's the guy," "I just solved the case," and my favorite, "Here's what happened."  Some other observations from Monk that truly make the show are: When he must make everything absolutely perfect; he's straight up with the suspect and tells him right out he did it, although he doesn't know how yet; he touches everything with one finger ever so slightly even though he's a germaphob.  I've actually caught myself touching objects the way Monk does sometimes.  You definitely get into Monk.

I think everyone would enjoy this comic series.
