My husband introduced this show to me. I happened to watch a random episode in the season and I ended up telling him, " I like this show; I will watch it not for Mr Monk but for Natalie" My husband smiled and told me "Okay, this is the first time you are watching something I suggested without me pestering you; also Nat isn't there from season 1 and don't want to tell you anything more"
So I started watching the series Oh My Goodness! From the first episode, I loved Monk, but in particular Sharona, I fell in love with that character! There were episodes in Seasons 2 and 3 where I couldn't believe the storytelling. I loved the show. And I realised why my husband smiled when I told him I would watch the show for Nat. Sharona was exceptional. I apologise to the actress playing Nat, but the character of Sharona was the perfect compliment for My Monk. I am heartbroken that she had to leave the show, and I am still trying to wrap my head around it. Nevertheless, I still like the show, but I could have loved it if she was still there: )
