The fourth season begins with a new set of powerful events that look quite different in everything. The season begins with a new series of events, most notably Halloween, Monk visits his brother Ambrose in his childhood home waiting for a visit from his father who has been absent for a long time, but things take a strange turn when trying to trick or disguise repeatedly stealing Halloween candy from Ambrose House.
Monk is the moment's sitcom expression. And I'll venture the nonprofessional assessment that this cheery comedy mainstreaming of psychological disorder beats the more established, sniggering approach to fussy men any day.
