Movie Reviews of Monk - Season One
Movie Review: monk rules!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a latecomer to this great series. I happened upon it while they were running a marathon of shows on a holiday. I watched for hours. Now, it's even better - NO Commercials!!! It is so nice to watch very talented actors ply their craft(!)and know that there is consistency in the writing, acting and directing of this very funny show. Each episode, while staying true to form, contains enough twists to forward the characters and enough comic gems to keep it fresh.
I want to add that I really appreciate how Tony Shaloub portrays Monk not as a pity case or a mystic freak but as a talented man with a problem. Ok, a really BIG problem, but nonetheless, like the rest of us,he has human aspirations and failings beyond the ocd.
Invite these people into your living room. you'll be glad you did.
Movie Review: Why did I wait so long?
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's a great cast, an interesting concept, and a treatment of OCDs that is not exploitative or cruel. And yet I waited this long to watch the first season! Go figure.
Tony Shalhoub is note-perfect as the title character, whom you can't help but feel sorry for since the murder of his beloved wife. This trauma apparently exacerbated the already existent OCDs, requiring his assistant, played by the wonderful Bitty Schram, to accompany him almost everywhere.
Ted Levine does a fine job as well, playing Monk's police chief. He is often taken aback by the troubled detective's behavior but also knows that nobody can solve a case better than Monk can.
I have just started the second season, and it looks very promising as well.
Movie Review: "Monk" Season One on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the DVD set of Season One as a gift for my husband's birthday; we've been fans since the second season. We opened the packet much sooner as our teenaged grandsons are visiting and needed something entertaining on quiet evenings. "Monk" is perfect. They swiftly fell in love with the quirky detective (after a little explanation)and enjoyed solving the puzzles as best they could. And we didn't have to worry about inappropriate material! The relationship between Monk and his nurse (in this case Sharona), his former colleagues at the San Francisco police department and his therapist are delightful and touching. The writing is superb, the acting excellent and the entire package well done. We recommend the series to our friends and I'd even let my mother watch it!Movie Review: Monk peps me up.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Adrian Monk. Oh, not romantically. No, Adrian is like your first cousin on your mother's side who is admired by the family for his great mind, but is pitied because he has that 'little problem'. Being just a tad OCD myself, I can identify with his need for things to line up straight...most of the time. I adore Monk because he's still 'married' even though Trudy has been dead for several years. His loyalty may not be the best thing for him, but it's strong and true. The series often has poignant moments that make me want to cry for him, but for the most part, Monk is a peppy, fun show that I keep on hand to make the world go away. Let's not forget Sharona. She's the best, and along with Leland and Randy, what could be more perfect?Movie Review: Monk is a family friendly mystery series!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a child, I have great memories of sitting around with my parents or grandparents in the evening after dinner and watching some good TV mysteries - we watched Mannix, Magnum PI, many more...
The majority of the shows these days are just trash because they are pushing a gay agenda or have people in relationships outside of marraige. I am teaching my children these things are wrong so I sure do not want to see that or WORSE on TV shows. Shame on you NBC, CBS and ABC...
Monk is a fresh breath! It is addictive, interesting, funny - we all just love it!!
If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend you start with this set and work your way up!!! It is a great show!!
