Monk Ratings & Reviews
- NonPlayableContentOctober 25, 2025Even with the recasting, the ups and downs in quality, and a story that gets ignored a lot for side quests I can confidently say its worth your time.
- flavo43January 2, 2026Monk is a compelling blend of detective procedural and character‑driven drama, anchored by one of television’s most memorable protagonists. As an investigation series, it’s consistently clever—each case is tightly constructed, full of sharp clues, and elevated by Adrian Monk’s extraordinary observational abilities. But what truly sets the show apart is its thoughtful portrayal of Monk’s mental health challenges. The series never treats his traits as a gimmick; instead, it explores how someone once highly decorated could be pushed into crisis after profound loss. His reliance on a full‑time carer adds emotional depth, highlighting both vulnerability and resilience. The show balances sadness, humour, and empowerment with surprising grace, allowing viewers to empathise with Monk’s struggles while celebrating his brilliance. At its best, Monk is touching, funny, and deeply human—a series that respects its character’s complexity while delivering consistently engaging mysteries.
- PI_3XSeptember 5, 2025A classic and fun to watch an episode at a time, but too repetitive when binge watching
- yves-carmineDecember 27, 2025This is easily one the top 5 television series of all time. There isn't a weak episode in this entire series, which I might add survived the original writers strike of the 2000's. It will be my favorite comfort show always.
