This, like so many first episodes, took pains to introduce us to the principle characters, y.from Monk to Sharona to Randy and others. We begin with a murder scene where Monk does his amazing Sherlock Holes bit. He is the master of simplicity and precision. The case then leads to a shooting at a campaign rally for the mayor. I have watched Tony Shaloub perform in movies and on Broadway. He is a treasure.
