Les enquêtes criminelles d'un ancien policier de San Francisco tourmenté par des troubles obsessionnels compulsifs depuis la mort de son épouse. Monk sait qu'il peut compter sur sa fidèle infirmière, Sharona Fleming, pour l'aider dans certaines situations. (texte officiel du distributeur)
Critiques (2)
A successful series... it seems that at present a quality detective series stands and falls with the charisma of the main protagonist (see the great Midsomer Murders). Monk is really an exclusive piece, with a bit of Poirot editing. His meticulousness, light femininity and stiffness in the end are very reminiscent of Columbo rampaging about, although it's different... its unique. Endearingly insecure, receptive and very non-heroic. Plus, it is often backed up by great scripts that are thrilling, funny, just... catchy. So I'm putting Monk in the panopticon of strange detectives whose investigations are worth following.

Nine out of ten. Not so much a crime series as a detective and quite often comedy series with an irresistible main character, Adrian Monk, a great duo of cops played by Ted Levine and Jason G. Stanford, and Monk's clueless and vigorous caretaker. The series is funny, suspenseful and touching (especially in the moments when Adrian remembers his wife Trudi in any way)... I think we have a worthy successor to Lieutenant Columbo.
