Opis:
Serial opowiada o byłym policjancie, Adrianie Monku, który cierpi na nerwicę natręctw, od czasu brutalnego zamordowania jego żony. Choroba ta polega na tym, że chory na nią może obsesyjnie obawiać się czegoś, co dla innych jest rzeczą normalną. W pracy, jako detektyw, jest geniuszem. Posiada doskonałą pamięć wzrokową, oraz umiejętność zauważania nawet najmniejszych śladów i kojarzenia ich ze sobą. W pracy pomaga mu jego pielęgniarka Sharona, która nie tylko opiekuję się Monkiem, ale również jest jego bliską przyjaciółką, pocieszycielką i terapeutką.
Sherlock Holmes, Columbo, Hercule Poirot -- genius detectives are
usually a bit quirky. But no other is as quirky as Adrian Monk, the
obsessive-compulsive detective -- and "Monk: Complete Series " compiles
every episode of this funny, likable little mystery series. Tony
Shalhoub shines as title character, solving the case with his gift/curse
and his willingness to go anywhere... that doesn't have germs.
Adrian Monk's wife Trudy was killed in a car-bombing, and the
devastated detective fell apart completely. Years later, Monk (Tony
Shalhoub) is partially recovered, but he still is obsessive-compulsive
and has dozens of phobias. The only way he manages is with his assistant
Sharona (Bitty Schram) -- and later her successor Natalie (Traylor
Howard) -- babysitting him.
Courtesy of his friend Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), Monk is
called in for dozens of bizarre, baffling cases. His excellent memory
and his OCD ("It's a gift.... and a curse") allow him to see patterns
and details where other people see nothing.
Among Monk's cases are going undercover at a prison, a killer
dentist, a deadly Christmas gift, an elephant used as a lethal weapon, a
billionaire mugger, saving Willie Nelson from a murder rap, trapping a
black widow, the death of a 115-year-old man, the Mafia, garbage
strikes, rock concerts, a cult, real estate, a murder on a sub, a voodoo
curse, UFO sightings, martial-artists, murdered models, and a guy who
leaped out of a plane -- and died by drowning.
But as quirky and bizarre as the cases is, it never stops hitting
the heartstrings. Monk becomes attached to a little boy and a murder
victim's dog, and it's a credit to this show's writers that the ending
of those episodes aren't maudlin or sappy. And he is still passionately
devoted to his dead wife, and his quest for her killer is a story that
stretches across the whole series.
"Monk" is the sort of show that usually gets cancelled after five
episodes -- it's well-written, amusing, and smart. So by TV standards,
lasting eight seasons is nothing short of miraculous. Like any
long-running show it has its duds ("Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" always
makes me cringe), but overall it's a brilliant series.
There are gunfights and SWAT teams, like on any cop show, but the
main focus here is on detecting. And the writers are skilled at coming
up with all sorts of bizarre or unsolvable crimes, which only Monk could
unravel. Not to mention the dialogue, which leans heavily on dry humour
("So you're saying the opposite of a spider is a tall building?")
But the series wouldn't be what it is without Tony Shalhoub. He
played weird roles in movies like MIB and "Galaxy Quest," and so he
knows how to balance out Monk's weirdness and genius without leaning too
heavily on either. When told to sit on the ground, he says nervously,
"I can't. Animals do things on the ground. Terrible, terrible things."
Schram and Howard are both good as his assistants, and they're
similar without being TOO alike -- one was a hardened New York gal, and
the other is a rebel rich girl with a checkered employment past. And
Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford round off the cast as genial cop
Stottlemeyer and his earnest (if slightly goofy) sidekick Disher.
"Monk: The Complete Series" shows us all of this excellent show, with its uniquely appealing hero. It's a gift... and a curse.
