ok honestly this show is a masterpiece with great writing, lovable characters, good murder mysteries, and good humor. But not only that I'm gonna get personal for a minute and say that watching Monk really helped me find out who I really am inside and I'm saying this because I've always been the weird, mental, and different kid at school (according to my classmates) but watching this show makes me feel less alone because I can kind of relate to Mr. Monk and weirdly I kind of feel like the main characters are kind of like my friends. And it helped me find out more about myself and never fails to cheer me up and make me laugh and really connect with the characters and the mystery so that's my opinion on the show and id give it a 10 out of 10.
