Movie Reviews of Monk - Season One
Movie Review: Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a new Monk fan, and since I loved the last episodes of Season 3 so much, I just had to buy the Season 1 and 2 DVDs -- and they are, quite simply, wonderful. The writers manage to interject just the right mix of humor, mystery, drama and OCD so that none of the elements overpower one another. This makes for an honest-to-goodness well rounded show. Further, Monk is one of the few shows on television that can still be considered "family friendly" -- which is nice deviation from the majority of the "stuff" on TV.
If you like a detective mystery without all the fluff and glimmer of CSI or other shock-dramas, Monk is a perfect way to spend an evening. I highly recommend it!
Movie Review: A Monk Fan Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars
I've only been a Monk fan for a year, but I've already fallen in love with the show. It's the perfect show for anyone. It's about an obsessive compulsive detective who's disorder actually helps him solve cases. However he still has trouble with every day things such as shaking people's hands.The dvd contains the first season along with the pilot episode and a selection of bonus material. This dvd set saves you the trouble of searching for the episode on your vhs tape of the episode. And when buying this set you'll even get your very own Monk hand gel for the "obsessive compulsive fan". I strongly suggest buying this dvd collection of America's number one television show!
Movie Review: You Can't Watch Just One
Summary: 5 Stars
Warning: Only watch Monk if you want to get hooked! The writing for this series is some of the best that I have seen on TV in years. The character is very relatable and brilliantly played by Tony Shalhoub. I literally watched almost the entire first season in one day when I bought it on DVD. If you are someone like me, I hadn't even watched one episode before I bought the first season. I knew it was popular, my friends liked it and that Tony is a brilliant actor. That's all you need to know to start watching now. It's popular for a reason, and that is reason is because it's good. So, if you have any doubts, at least buy the first season. You will be hooked! I warned you.Movie Review: Yay for MONK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I will admit it, right at the beginning, that it would be very difficult to disappoint me with anything MONK-related. Nevertheless, this DVD set of the first season is so entertaining and interesting that I was glued to the set for hours. As a collector of all-things MONK, I was ecstatic to receive 2 shows (Marathon Man and Red-Headed Stranger) that I had never seen before. The additional featurettes were excellent and I even learned some new things about MONK and OCD I never knew before. All the MONK characters are so excellent and the shows so well-written that they can be watched again and again. Yay Tony Shalhoub (he is great in EVERYTHING he does) and YAY MONKMovie Review: An informed opinion, you might say
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm still working on Season One, although this is sometimes difficult to get through. The show's great; don't get me wrong, but I'm watching it as part of exposure and response prevention therapy on my doctor's advice. If you have OCD, this show WILL trigger you!!! They get all the little things exactly right, to a rather disturbing degree. Remember when Monk HAD to get those keys back and fished them out of the coffin with a paper clip on a string?? Trust me, there's NOTHING overexaggerated about that; I've done MUCH crazier things. That being said, we NEED more characters with OCD out there in our media, and Monk is a great one. Highly recommended.
