Once upon a time Adrian Monk was a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, but he lost his nerve, his mind and then his badge. Now, this obsessive-compulsive detective is determined to get back on the force by solving one crime at a time. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews of this series by the user Marigold (1)
Monk (2002)
A successful series... it seems that at present a quality detective series stands and falls with the charisma of the main protagonist (see the great Midsomer Murders). Monk is really an exclusive piece, with a bit of Poirot editing. His meticulousness, light femininity and stiffness in the end are very reminiscent of Columbo rampaging about, although it's different... its unique. Endearingly insecure, receptive and very non-heroic. Plus, it is often backed up by great scripts that are thrilling, funny, just... catchy. So I'm putting Monk in the panopticon of strange detectives whose investigations are worth following.
