SPOILERS are ahead for Mr. Monk’s Last Case, now streaming with a Peacock subscription.
Like so many, USA’s Monk was part of my weekly routine while it ran on cable from 2002 to 2009. Me and my family would tune into the detective comedy together on evenings and always get a kick out of the TV show’s weekly mysteries blended with its talented ensemble that felt like real people we were getting to know over eight seasons. Given its been nearly 15 years since Monk’s final season, I was surprised to see Mr. Monk’s Last Case among 2023’s TV premiere dates. But now that I’ve experienced the streaming movie, I need to talk about how much I appreciate how it built upon Monk’s storyline.
