100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 1 launched Tony Shalhoub's Emmy-winning turn as Adrian Monk to near-universal critical acclaim. Critics called it 'a sure-handed blend of mystery and humor' that was also the best show USA Network had produced.
Renewal: Monk ran 8 seasons on USA Network from July 2002 to December 2009, concluding with a series finale that resolved the central murder mystery. The show was not revived after its conclusion. (Wikipedia)

BollyAI has not watched anything. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
The two-part premiere establishes Monk's world with confident economy: his OCD rituals, his assistant Sharona's exasperated loyalty, his relationship with the SFPD, and the unsolved murder of his wife Trudy that runs as the show's long-form emotional thread. The pilot case is credible and the character dynamic is fully formed from the first scene.
