Movie Reviews of Monk: Season Seven
Movie Review: A Comedy, A Character and Also a Mystery--I Love Monk!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the character of Monk and virtually everyone who watches it is also hooked on HIM. Monk is a former San Francisco police department detective who had to go onto disability from the force because his OCD psychiatric disorder incredibly worsened after his wife was murdered by a fire bomb in her car. On its face, this sounds like it could be offensive as it satirizes a mental disorder. However, Monk is so lovable yet so aggravating with his OCD disorder that it works. Monk now consults with the police department. The reason he is such a good detective is because of his OCD. He notices everything. He is a fountain of information, including esoteric trivia, which he gravitates towards due to his illness. Put it all together and he can reach amazing deductions although he drives everyone around him completely bats.
Some viewers feared the series would suffer when the gal friday was replaced (from Sharona to Natalie) but there were no repercussions. Monk is so totally the show, which everyone else revolves around, that the change caused barely a ripple. As the series has gone on, it has evolved into more of a comedy and a character study which is also a mystery. Monk always solves a murder but that is secondary to everything else going on. Two characters I would miss are Leland Stotelmeyer, the Captain, and his sidekick Randy. They have grown very funny in their own right and are the next strongest characters to Monk himself. A month ago I rewatched every single episode of Monk and found myself every bit as fascinated with the episodes as I'd been the first time through. If anything, I was even fonder of Monk this second viewing through. Some excellent guest stars have also been on the series. Gena Rowlands was on one episode in season 7 and she was magnificent with Monk. I've read she's up for an Emmy for it. John Turturro has also guest starred as Monk's brother and he was also wonderful.
One loss to the show is that Monk's psychiatrist died (the actor in real life and thus the character on the show too). This relationship had been building with every season and the two, Monk and shrink, were very good together. Those pairings had been growing so it was a regular for them to have a session. There were some great sessions between them with both insightful and comedic moments. However, that is being soft pedaled now that a new shrink for Monk had to brought in. This new shrink is ok but it is not the same.
Tony Shalhoub plays Monk and he is wonderful. The one thing the viewers would never accept is a new Monk. He's said he thinks they should stop after season 8 (next season) but I hope he can be persuaded to do it a bit longer.
Summary of Monk: Season Seven
Tony Shalhoub returns to his acclaimed three-time Primetime Emmy® Award and Golden Globe®-winning role for a stellar seventh season in the quirky and irreverent detective show, Monk. Join him and phenomenal guest stars Brad Garrett, David Strathairn, Eric McCormack, Sarah Silverman, Hector Elizando, John Turturro and more in 16 hilarious, unforgettable episodes ? including the all-star 100th episode, ?Mr. Monk?s 100th Case!? Despite his overwhelming fear of germs, crowds, small places and almost everything else, Monk proves once again why he?s the only man for the case and why mystery lovers "...can't deny how amusihg it all still is..."
