Topic: Monk

Does any one else get annoyed that nothing good ever happens the monk. He has the same sad life the whole time. And I get that this show returns to the status quo every episode, but it gets annoying.

Kristina Valdez He does have an exciting and amazing life every episode. There's always something new that he overcomes in regards to all his many phobias. He gets up every morning and, despite his hesitancies, sorrow, & fears, shines in his unique brilliance.

AM His life isn't sad! He lives a rich life contributing to society. He doesn't even get that down given all that he's struggling with. The foibles of his are what make him unique and compelling as a character

Simone Its not the OCD that makes him a sad character it the episodes where he gets a dog but by the end gets ride of it. Or the episode with the little boy. Or the episode where he makes a friend. The writers just kept him in the same place for 8 seasons

Trapper MA Apparently it has left Amazon Prime as the 1st of April. I'll miss S4E2 to fall asleep to "Monk Goes Home Again". It's Frankenstein's monster, not Frankenstein.
