8/10

**This is a good afternoon/evening chill series**

You have to be able to put aside that it is a few years old, if your able to do this, i'm sure you will find many hours of good fun and relaxing entertainment here.

It's nok a Sherlock Holmes thing, but somewhat along those lines anyway. Do to his condition, Monk has a funny way to see things, things that we normally don't pay attention to. And lots of funny situations do to he's "sickness".

In short, it's good old entertainment, for the times where you don't need something to be to heavy.

You've reached the end.
