Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Just as pure fan service, it’s a welcome return. If you liked “Monk” you’ll obviously want to watch it — and if you’ve never seen “Monk,” you should watch “Monk.” Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Aaron Pruner TheWrap Two decades later, we can all relate a bit to Adrian Monk. He may even be the perfect sleuth for the post-pandemic jungle we’re living in. Is this case truly his last? One can only hope the answer is, “No.” Dec 12, 2023 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com While the title states (or at least implies) this is Monk’s goodbye, given how seamlessly Shalhoub and company slide back into it, Peacock might be well advised to keep a few extra gallons of hand sanitizer in reserve. Dec 8, 2023 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi In what amounts to a TV Special, Monk’s Last Case gives the audience a good dosage of nostalgia by bringing the entire gang back one more time. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Ultimately, the sequel manages to deliver a strong message of hope, and those who enjoy the original series will find it entertaining (if not as upbeat). Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Derek Sante KSNV (Las Vegas) A fun TV film, but the darker tone definitely rubs some people the wrong way. Rated: B- Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Mi D Quite shocking that this movie got 96% on RT - it's possible that critics are being much kinder to this as a Monk reunion special, rather than a movie. As for all the people giving the 5 stars and calling this witty... The original show was witty, the movie is disappointingly simple and linear. Without giving away plot points, the main crime itself is predictable, you will see it coming. Once you accept the simplicity of the crime that needs solved (it's really shockingly simple ..) the actually mystery and killer can be guessed by most audience members within 5 minutes. Worse, in very un-Monk-life form, there are no Zig-zags, twists or surprises that change the direction of the narrative; Mr Monk seemingly takes twice as long as most audience members to solve the murder, and the story grinds itself to a conclusion. The real tragedy here is that all the elements that brought the characters back together work - it's believable and fun to find the characters back together again, and the Pandemic spin and additional story about Monks life is timely and funny. If they had only taken the time to make an interesting and unusual mystery, then this would have been a great film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Robert D Once again the cast is super! I thought that the storyline was well-written but a little sad in the way Monk felt.. awesome ending. WANT MORE MONK! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Nicholas C My only critique is that it ended! Want more monk! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Joshua B Very unbelievable, monk is all around a bad person who gets personified as a hero. Cast does a great job but some of the worst writing I've ever seen Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Avindu G Tales of Adrian Monk brings back memories of good old days and it's like nothing has changed ever since. It's same old funny little things monk does with the supporting cast returning to the scene as well. Considering this movie one would think why wasn't this done before but the timing was perfect to light up Monk for at least once more with his unique character. Great work by the cast, especially by Shalhoub never missing a beat of Monk's persona. Visual effects were a reminiscent of the tv series. Great background music. Despite the title many viewers might want to see Monk working on those cold cases for sure. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Yuming J The killer waited at the bridge and told Molly that it’s 6 feet longer!? Give me a break. Is this made for kindergarten audiences? Also, why would Eden even tell the guy what’s wrong with the tape? He’s just there to switch the tapes. Unbelievable this is RT rated 96%. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
