The last episode of this series that will soon leave Netflix, one of the most on the American TV

From 2002 to 2009, the monk made American television (and French where he was broadcasting on TF1). This dramatic series in the 8 seasons and 125 episodes will be followed by a criminal investigation into the San Francisco former police officer, who suffered forced violations after his wife’s death. The monk knows that he can count his faithful nurse, Sharona Fleming, to help her in certain situations.

Between Hercul Pirot and Sherlock Holmes

It was Tony Shalhubi, who inherited the role, after two long studies by the creators. The actress has managed to breathe this character, which has suffering and humor, which has a difference in 312 phobia (in a very specific sequence classified), from milk to snakes, geracles, crowds and cracks.

For some, its mania is unbearable, but for others, this is what allows it to solve the most acute surveys: Adrian has a sense of detail, a flawless memory, and a sense of subtraction that will make Herculous Pirot and Sherlock Holm.

Also on these two main literary models, which Adrian Mony received. The latter acts as a consultant (he was released from the police because of his OCs), he can rely on his devoted assistant (a kind of Watson) who helps him in everything, and especially in his canvases, as well as on two agents (for example, with Lestrad).

The character is also directly inspired by the co-creator of the series, David Hergerman:

“The monk and I are the same. Like him, it is impossible for me, for example, to walk on cracks, or not touch the posts on the street. I don’t know why I’m doing it at all, but if I don’t do it, something terrible can happen. ”

By doing so, the vice have been performed that the choice of the genus is not trivial: Adrian Berry consists of 10 letters, a round figure that fits his character perfectly.

One of the most drawn episodes of television history

In the 8 seasons, the monk has made many viewers’ joys who have been outraged by the adventures of this detective as others. Shalhuba’s performance has enabled him to win prestigious prizes for years, including the Golden Globe and three Emmy Awards.

In the final season in 2009, writers allowed the monk to settle the case that had been suffering for years: his wife, Trud. A strong emotional resolution that allowed our hero to complete the loop. In front of the 9.4 million viewers that evening, this record allowed him to watch the most episode in the history of the cable television in 2009 and 2012 (after the beat of The Walking Dead).

Record, but far from this series in 1983

Last year, the peacock platform brought actors to the actors for 14 years after the absence of a special television film. If the latter is not yet available on Netflix (but TF1+), you can retreat to the full series that will leave the catalog on March 14.
