Title: Great show but slips in second half
Product review: I was a fan of Monk since day one, this season left a little bit to be desired. The first episodes are still brilliant but the changes in cast and writing in the second half on the season change the show dramatically. The replacement of Sharona is inexcusable and Natalie Treager can't fill Bitty's shoes acting or chararcter wise, but the writing has suffered as well. The mysteries have become second rate and watered-down and the writing as a whole has become less clever and more hokey. The bizarre episodes without the Captain and Lt. are weird and leave you questioning whether this is really the same show. Hopefully for season four they have brought the writing back to par or it will be a miss in my book. A monk fan will appreciate this DVD especially for the first half but the second will not make a monk fan out of someone who hasn't seen the show.
