Monk: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Ed Barry Sydney Morning Herald Monk is nothing short of brilliant. Mar 9, 2020 Full Review Monk: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Nancy Franklin New Yorker Monk's charm isn't the debonair, sweep-you-off-your-feet kind... Its comedy and its drama are more genuine and more piercing than that. It's the real thing.

Jorge S A segunda temporada mantém o interesse pelo multifóbico detetive Monk. Com personagens bem delineados -- é impossível não se deixar envolver pelo protagonista Monk -- e mistérios convincentes, esta série traz ótimo entretenimento e diversão. As fobias de Monk são o tempero que o distingue de outros detetives e sua relação com o psiquiatra é muito inteligente. Assistam! 🕵🏼‍♂️ Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Round T The best season of the show. Everything is firing on all cylinders. The comedy, the drama, character development, mystery. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Improving upon the previous season, though not yet quite at the show's high point, season 2 of Monk is a welcome and addicting installment to the series with an extremely watchable main cast and a writing team that provides a fresh blend of original mysteries.
