If obsessive-compulsive detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) were going to write a movie about himself, 14 years after USA Network’s “Monk” went off the air, he would probably fastidiously watch every single episode of the original series first.

Series creator Andy Breckman didn’t watch every episode, but he did rewatch quite a few as he prepared to write “Mr. Monk’s Last Case,” a reunion movie that debuted Friday on Peacock.
