This is a detective series with a difference. Adrian Monk has a long list of problems with him. He is scared of pretty much everything he has a psychological disorder, or many should i say but in his own words 'it's a gift and a curse'. He's an ex cop and now works as a private consultant solving homicides. He is incredibly good at solving the crimes because he notices all the little details that no one else does. His mid works in weird and wondrous ways and through is obsessive nature he pieces all the bits of evidence and solves the crime. I really like watching these because it's thrilling, clever, and funny. Without Adrian the show would just be another crime series like all the other ones on TV but because of this original character the show suddenly develops another dimension and it allows the murders to be clever and the solving of the crime to be believable. The show always starts with showing you the actual murder and then you watch Monk do his magic and figure out what happened. It's highly entertaining and not as popular as it should be. Tony Shalhoub does an incredible job as Monk and the other actors are do just as well. Everything always fits together in ways you wouldn't expect and it's the not knowing and the different storylines which has made it so successful. Watching Adrian life his everyday life is pretty frustrating as he has to make sure everything is perfectly straight and clean and tidy but he is no doubt the best person for saving the day. There are eight seasons all together and each one is invigorating and entertaining to watch.

Summary: If you like detective shows then you will love this one
