Critic Reviews for Monk: Season 1
All Critics (13) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (0)
Story-wise, there's nothing in Monk that makes the show terribly different from all the detective shows that came before. It's the character of Monk that gives the series distinction.
This fresh series has a gimmick that works like a charm.
[Tony Shalhoub and Bitty Schram] make a formidable and entertaining team... If the energy and originality of the storylines catch up with their dynamic, the series can only improve.
The talented star of Monk proved that there was still life in the character-driven detective series even as programs like Law & Order had thrived on ensemble over lead structures.
This series is more than just the best show USA has done in years (which is such faint praise, it's barely audible). No, Monk is a summer delight - a sure-handed blend of mystery and humor.
The series never sells out its protagonist's need for justice and acceptance. It is this compelling desire, underpinning a goofy premise, that gives the show its remarkable durability.
