I've been watching the TV 📺 show "Monk" off and on for awhile (never saw it in first run or reruns) and enjoying it. Tony Shalhoub is always great.
This episode has Laurie Metcalfe. Good grief, it's amazing how she can just become someone else. I didn't recognize her for a full 20 minutes, not just because of her hair, makeup, and accent, but also because of how she carried herself.

My favorite thing of watching Monk is when I can shout "I think I've solved the case!" before Adrian Monk does so. About half the time, I'm "wrong", but so what. It's fun.
Compared to other shows, the mysteries here are not too challenging. Well, you know, sometimes I like to sit down with an easy-rated Sudoku or Crossword at the end of a long day. Not everything has to be challenging or pushing my development. 😜
3/3
I think Monk may be a spoof/satire of mystery genre. Or maybe it's such a well-constructed mystery that my modern, cynical view sees it as satire.
I don't think there's anything too deep here. This is escapist entertainment: interesting characters, not too much drama, humor, a puzzle to solve.
As a critique, I'll say I'm about 10 episodes in, and I'm already growing weary of Monk's eccentricities going too far, especially when they seem self-contradictory.
2/3
Last week, I ran out of TV to watch, did a watchlist deep dive. I've had Monk (2002) queued for over a decade. I've seen parts of episodes over the years, but I guess it didn't appeal enough to give it a try before now.
Took me just 2 episodes to get hooked. It's quirky, but the initial episodes do a good job of on-ramping viewers. That may be why I couldn't get into by just watching random episodes whenever I happened to be someplace with cable TV.
