I am a fan of all crime shows and murder mysteries, and I have to say, I LOVED the twists and the "Here is what happened " part. The writing was super good. Especially starting Season 3. You could feel the maturity. And they stayed on top until the end. Maybe one comment: I wish Monk solved one or two of his phobias on the show to feel the development. After all, he has been going to therapy for 12 years now :)
And to all the wonderful cast, not just the amazing Tony Chalhoub who I am so proud he is Arab, you somehow made it feel like family, especially Captain Stottlemeyer, Natalie and Randy (So surprised you guys did not do a lot of shows after). I felt bad when the show ended. I binge watched it in a few weeks. Please come back not for a movie but for a full season.
