Adrian Monk returns with even more OCD than he had when the regular show started back in 2002.
Having had a difficult time during the Covid pandemic. His various ailments and neurosis have relapsed.
Facing financial difficulties when his book deal falls through. All the publisher had to do was get the ghostwriter to write the book. Monk is upset that he would not be able to pay for Molly, his stepdaughter's wedding.
However it never goes that far. Her fiancé, Griffin an investigative journalist is killed in a bungee jumping accident.
Only Molly thinks it is murder. He had ruffled the feathers of tech billionaire Rick Eden (James Purefoy) who is preparing to go into space. Griffin implied that he might have killed his business partner.
The movie serves as a backdoor pilot. It is just a shame that it is not a good story. Eden is a thinly disguised Bezos rip off but a murdering one.
Monk comes across as irritating rather than a brilliant detective with OCD issues.
