Movie Reviews of Monk - Season One
Movie Review: Superb Shaloub
Summary: 5 Stars
Tony Shaloub brings Adrian Monk, a brilliant former police detective, to life with his performances of the OCD investigator and received a well deserved Emmy for his role.
The scripts are well written with a pefect mix of humor and mystery combined and seems more of a throwback type of series, think of mixing of Murder She Wrote with Columbo bought up to date - no over the top violence, effects or graphics just a mystery solving series.
Shaloub is surrounded by a very good cast, including his nurse and psyhciatrist.
Monk is a breath of fresh air in the crime/mystery genre on television and I highly recommend it.
Movie Review: Great Show!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been watching Monk for years now, and it's one of my favorite shows ever!
It's about a man (Adrian Monk) who is an ex-cop. He has a nurse/assistant, Sharona Flemming, who helps him out (and gives him wipes after he shakes hands with people). Monk still loves solving mysteries, and the police department turns to him when they have a really baffeling case. He can see things that nobody else notices. The word "observant" is nothing to what Monk is. Noticing so many things helps Monk solve mysteries really easily.
This is such a good show! The murders and crimes aren't too gruesome or scary. It's an overall super show!
Movie Review: Well done, exceptional acting, great storylines.
Summary: 5 Stars
Monk is an obsessive compulsive savant of a detective. I love Tony Shaloub in this series. His portrayal of Monk is nothing less that Academy style. The way he pieces together minute clues makes you take a closer look at the world around you.
Losing his wife Trudy sends the man over the edge and his compulsions seem to get the better of him. It is worth continuing the series because the first few seasons are focused on his detective skills. 4 and 5 brink his true personality to life as he begins to cope with his wife's death.
The subtle humor of this masterful series makes it a must watch.
Movie Review: Mature, fun, humane, insightful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only TV show I watch regularly. The writing is superb, as is the acting. I had missed most of the first season, and found this DVD set pure pleasure, and with no ads. For some reason the labels on the disks do not match the actual programs, but nonetheless all the episodes are there.
Watching on DVD is so much better than on broadcast TV!
I hope to be getting the second and successive seasons when they are published, because these stories are worth watching more than once, and sharing with other members of the family. Three generations of our vacation household have already enjoyed Monk!
Movie Review: So Long waiting for this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I waited a while to get this DVD, mainly for financial reasons, anyway, I knew I wanted it because I Love the show. And when it is on USA cable, it is just about the only show I watch.
The great appeal of this set is that it has episodes I have not seen on tv, and thankfully so, since the widescreen format is great.
The quality and care of the presentation in this set is very much appreciated. Well worth it to get the little extra collectors bit too :-).
And I am definitely looking forward to the season 2 disc set.
If you love monk on tv, then this set is totally the thing to get.
