Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival

Monk Monday takes us back to San Francisco and the toils of the defective detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub). “Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival” offers another unusual murder for Monk to solve.

Unfortunately the thinly-veiled sermon against overuse of social media, presented with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, centers around a twat. And the rest of her planet turn out to be no better. Thankfully the tension in the episode works, despite the odd setup, and there’s enough interesting visuals to carry us through events eventually offering a hard lesson to the new Doctor.
