This season has it all. Stunning drama. Captivating characters with handpicked traits. This is the best season of any murder mystery, ever. The continuity of all of the characters quirks is shocking. Andy Breckman, the Executive Producer of the show, is so good at putting all of the physical and emotional attributes of the show together. Snaps for him. It is a must-watch. Drop what you're doing. Watch it. Now. It is the best decision you will ever make that doesn't really mean that much ;).

A great start to a great detective shows. Well-written characters and cases.

Fear of germs, elevators, heights, snakes and even milk are just a fraction of the 312(!) phobias Adrian Monk claims to have. Mr. Monk has been an oddball all his life, as we'll learn time and time again throughout the series, but he's been gifted with an incredibly good power of observation. For this reason he works as a consultant for the police in San Francisco. He was also a police officer himself, but was fired from the service after the murder of his wife and his subsequent nervous breakdown. His wife's murder is the only case in his entire career that Monk just can't solve. "Monk" has found the perfect actor for its main character in Tony Shalhoub and he rightly received several awards for his portrayal of the neurotic private detective. The secondary characters complement his character and the world around it perfectly - which makes everything look very harmonious. In addition, the writing team has done more than excellent work here. Of course, not every case is extremely exciting, but that's hardly possible with over 100 episodes. Nevertheless, in most cases you rack your brains and keep asking yourself what just happened. Often one is only redeemed at the end of the episode by Monk's catch phrase "here's what happened", whereupon he then explains who the culprit is and how he did it. All in all, "Monk" is a really good crime/comedy series that offers the viewer many exciting but also funny hours of entertainment.

the best of the series. A masterpiece
-
Great show! My absolute favorite show of all time!!

This show starts great, but after a few episodes it becomes boring, childish e annoying. I certainly don't recommend it.

It's sometimes old-fashioned with hit-and-miss comedy, but "Monk" is light and sweet, and represents an amiable way to pass the time. The main selling points for the series are the quirky compulsive detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) and the bizarre cases he solves. The series establishes quickly that Monk is an unusual man. He prefers order and cleanliness. He does not shake hands. He arbitrarily touches the points on random objects. Monk is hardwired to see even minuscule problems and rectify them--which makes him perfect to solve crimes so unusual and inventive. He is joined by his assistant Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram; Traylor Howard later fills the role of assistant Natalie Teeger), as well as his former boss Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) and Lieutenant Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford).

While weak when compared to future years of Monk, season 1 is still a strong start to a fantastic original concept with a strong cast of characters and expert writing that creates smart, unpredictable mysteries and combines them with fresh, clean humor.
