Saw the first two episodes last night which form the first story.
Really made us laugh. Very clever detective who can’t work as he suffers with extreme OCD. However brilliant at picking up clues.

I watched Monk a few years ago on Sky, easy watching. A lot of episodes.

I found this on Netflix a while ago and have just finished watching it. Absolutely loved it.

I watched it years ago on BBC 1. It is funny but has very poignant parts and a sad back story. The man who played the Police officer was the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs.

Yes I enjoyed a few years ago.
I take it what you saw was the original?

Taking your tip I started to watch it this afternoon. Most enjoyable. I think I've found my new series. Thank you.

Well seems to be the original and pleased there are lots of more episodes.

I used to like that, it must have been made over 20 years ago?
I will dip into it again.

Bread and butter. Any Monk fans will know this quote.

Thanks for the recommendation. We’ve just finished watching Manifest which was excellent.

I watched this years ago on the BBC. They used to show it in the afternoon, and I totally loved it. Tony Shalhoub went on to feature in the Marvelous Mrs Maisel, another fantastic series. He is such a talented actor, and it's great that we can still get to watch Monk on a different channel, its such a nice gentle series, lots to enjoy about it.

Love Mrs Maisel - Tony Shalhoub is brilliant as Abe (although the whole cast are so good in it). He is a very under-rated actor.

Of course!! I wondered why he looked so familiar.
