Depends on whether you're into Monks OCD- and phobia-feuled antics. Because that is the main draw of the show. The police procedural part isn't really worth talking about and mostly played for laughs. The kind of stuff you'd see on shows like "Murder She Wrote", "Colubmo" or "The Rockford Files". Don't expect anything like "Law & Order" or something like that. It really just serves as a vehicle to get Monk into awkward situations that he, his assistant and occasionally his friends in he police have maneuver their way out of. I personally think that Tony Schalub did a great job with the character and he never once annoyed me. But I've heard from a few relatives that they can't stand him. Overall it's a fun show to watch every now and then when I catch it but nothing I would binge-watch. is it weird that i don't mind monk's antics at all but absolutely hate sheldon cooper
