I thought my opinion on the episode where Monk meets his dad might have softened after all these years, but nope it is still absolutely infuriating. Like this guy ditches his family basically because he was tired of them (and the show makes it clear this abandonment had a profound effect on Adrian [who was 8 at the time] and his mother and brother) and then calls up his son for the first time like 40 years later solely to get out of jail, proceeds to act like a dismissive jerk the whole episode talking about his other son from his second family the whole time, gets angry and blames Adrian and his brother's mental disorders for why he ditched them when they were kids, and then just barely apologizes for anything and we're supposed to be okay with all that because he teaches Adrian to ride a bike at the end. Like it is just as frustrating as I remembered it. Like I cannot believe Greg Universe co-wrote this.

#artie thoughts #monk #monk tv #monk series #literally what is the best tag for this show?#the 'monk' tag is mostly just dnd monks lol #Adrian is a better man than me becauae I would have killed Jack immediately when it was clear he just wanted to get out of jail #it is wild to me that my favorite tv dad co-wrote my most loathed tv dad like what are the odds #that said I do get the impression there were mixed feelings on how sympathetically they wanted to portray his dad #most episodes are not sympathetic at all but this one was just ugh #i get that episodes like this are often fix-it fics for the writer's own messed up parents and i understand that #but it is still maddening to watch lol #i'm glad they never really brought his dad back after that

It's crazy that Monk didn't have a resurgence of popularity the same way Columbo did

they're both about meek, unassuming detectives who are way smarter than they look; and they're both on the same network even

Imagine if they met lol; they have such polar opposite energies. Monk is a well organized and laserfocused neat freak; Columbo is an awkward and clumsy goof in a dirty coat.

Adrian Monk is a neurodivergent and asexual icon change my fucking mind.

#no you don't get context #just go watch the show and it'll make sense #I love this show so much #this man is so uncomfortable and I vibe with that so hard #monk tv #monk series #monk tv series #neurodivergent headcanon #asexual headcanons #I can't remember if he was ever officially called autistic in the show #labeling it as a headcanon just to be safe

I definitely see what Trudy did, Adrian is hot and so clever. Surprisingly quick on his feet, man can sprint! And in a suit at that, doesn’t seem like the best sprinting uniform but hes got style and some sprinters just aren’t ready for that. That woman had taste I’m telling ya she was wise beyond her years and had she not died monk would have become an all powerful and unstoppable force for justice.

Watching monk like:

If you KNOW he needs his foods on separate plates why dont you just GIVE HIM MULTIPLE PLATES YOU'VE KNOWN HIM FOR YEARS

Someone get this man some ear defenders or ear plugs

Someone get this man a book on disability studies

I know it was the early 2000s but fr could he just have some basic accommodations?

The way that they meant to just make him have ocd but they made him so obviously autistic as well

He clearly sees himself as less masculine due to his compulsive neatness and his phobias, but instead of just referring to his percieved lack of masculinity, he repeatedly refers to himself as less than a man, or protests (too much) that he IS a man. Im thinking neurogender and/or deep seated toxic masculinity. Logically ik it's just internalized ableism/toxic masculinity, but i like projecting neurogender onto him.

Monk and leland clearly love each other a lot, and whether one sees that as platonic or romantic is up to the individual, but i think it's cool that they dont let it fall into "men cant express affection for each other" territory

That being said, i love the idea of the two of them in a romantic relationship; monk seeing the best in stottlemeyer when he cant see the best in himself and vice versa

i’ve started watching Monk from the beginning again and and halway through the first season. and what always strikes me about Monk is that when you watch it - actually watch it instead of catching part of the odd episode on rerun - you realise that for a show that is remembered mostly as “that crime comedy with that quirky OCD detective” it actually handles Adrian’s mental health issues and grief really sensitively and earnestly and doesn’t shy away from showing the unfunny sides of it.

yes, what makes him different also makes him brilliant. but yes, he can’t function without his nurse/assistant and his therapist. and its humurous but he’s suffering from it. and he overcomes, he’s so brave. he has fallbacks. it’s okay.

his caracter is written with so much compassion.

it was also the first show that when i watched it as a pre-teen showed me that therapy is more than the classic laying on a couch in Freud’s office with a bored therapist going ‘and how does that make you feel’ but that its something valuable that helps people.
