Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie (2023)
Great return for Monk!
A familiar face returns to our screens with this TV movie version of Monk. It's been 14 years since we last saw Adrian Monk on our screens (COVID special isn't canon) and the movie feels just as fresh as the TV show did. Hopefully we see more from Monk sooner rather than later and the ending leaves things open for that to happen.
A subplot throughout the story is Monk's preparation for suicide. He has a plan, has been hoarding his medication and we see several allusions to his death. He even tells a dog to give up and die.
In the slightly unusual ending Monk is met by Trudy who tells him she's not alone and doesn't need him to kill himself. Dozens and then hundreds of other ghosts appear as the people who've been killed but had their cases solved by Monk appear.
It would have been nice to see more of the familiar Monk cameos like Sarah Silverman and Andy Richter. Hopefully Marci can make appearance in Monk 2.
Singled Out (1995)
It's like Dick's Last Resort the TV show
Unlikable Chris Hardwicke and a pre-bad opinion Jenny McCarthy. Everyone is edgy and yelling. Contestants desperate to appear on TV with hosts that match.
Criminal Minds: Drive (2016)
Boston Common
In the episode JJ mistakenly refers to the Boston Common as "The Commons" a mistake not in line with her character in the previous 11 seasons.
Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction: Out of Service/When I Was Big/The Greedy Investor/Seven Hours of Bad Luck/Secret of the Coins (2002)
Really good episode
Love Frakesy in this one. Some classic stories and a genuine sense of dread.
Inside No. 9: Dead Line (2018)
Extremely well done
Technical issues aside this was a great episode of Inside No 9.
