I fully realize every opportunity to make money off of nostalgia is explored and monetized but to recreate a character and leave out all that made it good before is a vast disservice to the fan base.
I was very much looking forward to one more round quirky humor but wondered "how can they do Monk in a world where you are not allowed to find humor in disability, how will they take write OCD lines as funny without causing an outrage?" Answer was, they didn't. They made him a sad, depressed man without any of the quirky humor that offset the troubled mind. Monk was always the only one that didn't realize he was just fine.
Now, he fully makes you believe that it just isn't worth it, solving all the cases, making any effort, you go through this without understanding fully why he is suicidal, but just wishing he would get on with it.
Cringe is what is left. Over the top cringe. Skip this and remember it fondly, don't destroy your memories of Monk with this abomination.
