Adrian’s mental illness became the cause of his unwanted medical leave from the San Francisco Police Department. He started to work as a freelancer detective or consultant in detection of crime. At the same time he keeps on trying to make his former boss Captain Leland Stottlemeyer understand that he is quite able to work in the police department. Monk’s main objective is to solve the murder case of his own wife Trudy.

Monk’s mental condition compels him to behave irrationally in an eccentric way sometimes. So the chief of the police department Leland Stottlemeyer is not willing to reassign Monk to his duties. At the same time he is pretty much convinced about the abilities of Monk and sometimes seeks his help for the police department. Another person who feels compassionately about the talented detective is the second command in chief of San Francisco Police Department, Lieutenant Randy Disher. Early on Disher was not comfortable with Monk and used to state him as a defective detective. Gradually Adrian’s condition and capability compelled him to change his outlook.

Several incidents shown in the series are very essential for making people belief that the former detective is really having some nervous breakdown. Like keeping on sharpening a pencil. In practical world a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder and phobias is admitted in the hospital and given heavy sedative to keep his nervous system cool. But cinematic liberty is given to the series where Adrian is able and allowed to work with serious nervous disorders.

The series has completed eight seasons so as far. Some changes have been there in these seasons. First comes the theme music of the show. The old one had a classical touch whereas the new song written and sung by Randy Newman It’s a Jungle Out There, elaborates the hassles Monk has to face in his quest. The new song is good and a refreshing one. There used to be a nurse played by Bitty Schram for taking Adrian’s care but due to some dispute she has been replaced by a character called Natalie Teeger portrayed by Traylor Howard as Monk’s assistant.

The vital replacement of character in the series occurred due to an unfortunate incident. Stanley Kamel used to play as Adrian’s psychiatrist Dr. Charles Kroger. In real life Stanley Kamel passed away due to heart attack. The production house showed respect by showing the exact reason of death of Dr. Charles Kroger as the character had. Hector Elizondo plays Monk’s new therapist Dr. Neven Bell . Despite of changes the show has not lost its potentiality and is loved by numerous viewers.
