Query: The refining of Monk

As with all starter seasons, this set features the birthing and growing pains of what we all now know and love as Monk. A solid set, to say the least, but long time watchers will find subtle nuances that vary from our persona of the main character. Rest assured, this set will not fail to impress, but subsequent seasons will yield more Monk as, well, Monk.
