Man finally got around to watching the "Mr. Monk's Last Case" that I've been meaning to watch since it came out and I always forget just how relatable Monk is to me and how it really just hits home a bit too much how Monk lives and views himself

Like I'm sure a lot of people read the show like its a "haha OCD so funny" gag and I know some people get really mad because "OCD is treated like the butt end of the joke and no one with OCD is actually like that" but it really never felt that way to me as someone who has OCD - particularly because I cope with it the same way.

I totally understand the people that do not relate to it, OCD has a wide way of presentation and an even wider way of coping with it and that is not taking into account co-morbidities, the one in particularly that I think is most important when judging Monk - is C-PTSD and the MAIN one, while not directly mentioned, autism.

Cause the way they DO handle Monk's mental health, both in the original series (which I've watched at least 5 times over in my life) and the newest movie, while silly and haha at times, has always been so realistically done to me that it unironically is the only show or series or movie or game that had nearly made me physically cry because when it DOES get real into Monk's mental health, it gets pretty real, arguably too real.

I think if you are to talk about it as JUST OCD and treat this as "media representation of the average individual with OCD", people are right to say that its not good because I agree, Monk isn't the average individual with OCD and it does play into harmful stereotypes and generalizations of OCD. Monk is advertised as that a lot, so that advertising I disagree with. But if you actually watch the show, the show does little to hide that he has co-morbidity with PTSD / C-PTSD and while they don't outright say it, he is obviously autistic.

And as someone who's dad is has C-PTSD, Autism, and OCD and as someone who ALSO has C-PTSD, Autism, and OCD.... It's really really really fucking accurate and hits home. Something my mom, who lived with THREE people with that matching set of co-morbidities, loves and agrees is super relatable to how it was like living in our house.

And that is where it really gets me when people say "its a bad representation of OCD! OCD doesn't looks like that" cause... yeah it does, for at least three people I know with OCD. Are we a specific minority within the group of OCD? Probably, but we still have OCD.

I dunno man, episodes with Monk's mental health being talked about gets me in ways few things do and I will die on the hill that Monk's shit is very well done and accurate albeit to a specific subset of people with OCD.

And also on the point of it "being the butt of the joke"...

For me, my OCD and literally all my mental health conditions are often used as the butt end of the joke. And I'm not saying that people are wrong for being upset, but chronic mental illness symptoms after you get really used to them and adapt your life to them and just embrace your unique way of living.... it's kind of hard to not find a lot of the quirks in light humor?

Like my fiance always said it about his year with severe Chrons "at a certain point when you are in the hospital having shit come out both ends, you just have to laugh at it cause thats funny shit right there."

I don't think I would have survived recovery with any of my mental health disorders if I didn't take some of the quirks that came out of my adapted life style to be funny and love them anyways.

As long as there is a balance between "this is a serious thing that gets in the way of a persons life" which they DO do very well in Monk, I see very little issue at exploring the kinda funny things living with a chronic mental health condition does.

With the Monk movie coming out soon, I just want to say this...

If you're a trans woman named Trudy then Adrian Monk is legally obligated to protect you with his life.

#I know. He told me so #monk usa #adrian monk #mr monk's last case #trans rights

Mr Monk's Last Case

Okay, so Adrian Monk was and still is my first show thanks to which I was in a fandom. This show is the reason I can write, talk and understand English language, even though I had English language lessons at school. The show was like a teacher that would give me one hour assignment which I would repeat day after day for a week until the next assignment. That pattern would repeat itself for the next 6-7 years (I wasn't in the shows fandom in season 1 and joined when season 2 was at the end)

I met a lot of great people who were helpful, kind, understanding to this young Polish girl trying to teach herself another language, knowing mostly basics and nothing else, using Google translator and any dictionary she could find.

I was with the fandom when the news of Stanley Kamel death was announced, he was on the official shows forum, talking to us, interacting with us. Yes, we used the official USA network forum to talk and share stuff, fanfiction and art included.

I remember there fans who met with Michael Shalhoub, Tony Shalhoubs brother, can't remember if this was at his house or one of the fans. But those were the days where actors could go and meet fans, talk to them, meet with them. Now I can't imagine something like this happening.

Since Mr Monk's Last Case has its premiere today December 8th on Peacock, that's what I'm going to do - watch it!

MONK MOVIE ON PEACOCK BEAUTIFUL! JEFF BEZOS PARODY! RETURNING CAST! TENDER LOVE TOWARDS A MAN WITH OCD! MY BIGGEST YEAAAHHH BOI!!!

YO! Right?? I was really hyped for it and it didn't disappoint! It really did feel like an episode of the show, just flashed forward 14 years, everyone just fell back into the characters like they never left. I feel like they struck a good balance of showing how their lives have changed and they've grown as people while still feeling like the same characters

Honestly, if they continue with more movies/another season like they want to I hope they just have Monk take on parodies of folks like Bezos, Musk, etc all the time. I think that would be a fun direction. Mixed with a plot line of Monk realizing how many people love and care for him would be ideal (I'm guessing Watson will help with that!)

(as a side note for anyone else interested in watching, suicide tw for the movie because it's a major plotline. It's noted in the content warning but it's worth noting it's very central to the story and not just one scene. I want to recommend the movie for anyone who liked the show but it felt important to note this)

it's so weird seeing the gang all back and together in a streaming movie. The black bars on the top and bottom. All of them, aged. The humor still all there in a bleak situation. The lighting is different for good reason, it's got this movie feel to it. which is a good thing.

it's weird seeing Monk back after a decade with graying hair, back in the brown suit, alongside Natalie, at Molly's place doing an investigation like old times. It has to be the lighting, the shadows, the way the colors are.

Monk slips back into old habits with the Monk Zen so easily.
