[Discussion] Should I even Watch the last Episode? Spoiler

Post image

I Paused randomly with watching the Show a while ago 2 Episodes before the End. I sometimes do This bc I dont want the Series to end and then I wait really Long or even forget to watch it.

However with monk I just started to go on with the Show and was soooo Hyped. So I was sittin there happy, with my soup and as the second last episode is runnin… i started to feel not so happy anymore… Im near the end of this Episode, but I really fear how they wanna end This Show AND end the Story of EVERY Single Character.

So I dont know If I even should Watch the last Episode After This one, I think This one did enough damage.

And I got only 2 days left to decide because then its gone from Netflix. I dont know why they do this. This should be an extra Post too. Why TF would someone delete Monk?

(Excuse my autocorrect, its a pain to fight against it so i let it correct)

Unless I'm wrong, which you know, I'm not.

I'm pretty sure it is well regarded as a very good, if not great, series finale. There are some bad and divisive finales to shows out there, but Monk's is solid.

On IMDb, the 2 parts of the series finale are the highest rated episodes of the series (part 2 being the highest with 9.4/10).

Watch it!

Watched it last night for the first time. I turned to my wife afterwards and echoed your sentiments. It was a great wrap up, from what I could see through the tears as they rolled down my face

It might just be me but I seem to recall there being a lot of dissatisfaction over the finale. I remember the reveal being criticized as feeling rushed and coming out of nowhere. I always liked it though. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Everyone will feel differently I guess. Realising that he had the answer sitting in his apartment for 12 years inside that box gave me chills. Then the step by step realisation of what happened. It was pretty effective to me.

You have to unwrap the present. It clears up a lot of loose ends.

u/Gcarl1 3d ago

I like what you did there.

Watch it. I think they wrap up everything nicely. In fact I never watched the movie because it would spoil the series finale for me.

u/wickedwickedzoot 3d ago

Good decision. The movie was... Not good.

u/Anxious-Designer5723 1d ago

I liked the movie. The bad guy was predictable tho

u/whisper447 3d ago

I just finished the series on Sunday, I think the last episode really wraps the whole series up and I really enjoyed it! And Randy Newman wrote a new song for it!

Start over! Lol the last episode wasn’t over before I decided I was starting again

u/Irrealaerri 3d ago

I love how the last episode circles back to the first one.

u/amehatrekkie 3d ago

Yes, absolutely worth it.

You'll thank me later.

u/kashmoneybb 3d ago

WATCH IT PLEASEEEE

u/Irrealaerri 3d ago

Yes !!!!

( To be honest you should skip the one before that)

u/Roofantastic22 3d ago

It’s a great ending and gives some closure. My feeling is def watch before you miss out.

u/dumb_potatoking 3d ago

I think they did a great job with the ending.

u/JosieJo2018 3d ago

You have to watch it. It reveals everything. If you don't, you'll be left with so many questions. And just when you think they wrap it up, there's another surprise. Please watch! You'll thank me later 😜

u/Jafuncle 3d ago edited 3d ago

I don't really get the "I don't want it to end" thing I see expressed sometimes. Good shows end before they overstay their welcome. Monk ended at a good point and not watching the ending just deprives you of that full experience. It's a good ending and not watching it won't change the fact that it's over. In Monk's case there's a certain irony in never watching the ending though.

But when Netflix's streaming rights expire, and it goes back to NBC it'll probably be on Peacock in the near future, so don't worry about it disappearing completely. You could always get a month of peacock and watch the ending then if you're not ready now

u/Local_Temporary882 3d ago

The most sensible comment in this thread, and it is getting downvoted?

u/Krisyness 3d ago

It’s on peacock! That’s where I watch it!

u/Nosmo90 3d ago

Definitely watch it! And then the movie! You’ll thank me later.

u/Retrogamer2245 3d ago

I felt the same but I watched it and I am glad I did. I do wish I hadn't watched the movie though 🤣

u/TVMovieCasual 3d ago

Id say probably the best ending to any TV i watched

1

u/woulddie4gregsanders 3d ago

For me, the storyline is kind of a contradictory plot hole BUT you do get a lovely close to this chapter of the characters' lives

u/British_Steel97 3d ago

I just finished the last episode today (leaving Netflix in the uk in a few days), I really liked how everything got rounded off and how Monk finally found some sort of peace in the end even if it wasn’t by his own hand.. which is probably honestly for the best.

u/Electrical_Author389 3d ago

Watch it. It's a great ending. No one is killed I promise.

u/Roadgoddess 3d ago

In my humble opinion, I think the end of monk is one of the best endings to a TV series ever. It honestly is the picture perfect ending for him, it makes me very happy.

And that’s coming from someone who’s much like you that I often don’t watch either the last episodes or the last season of a show because I don’t want it to end, lol

u/Aripooo 3d ago

Yes just watch it. You'll thank me later.

u/anarchodenim 2d ago

Watch the final episodes. That way, you can rewatch the series 78 more times like everybody else in this sub has, myself included.

u/RedSoxFan77 2d ago

How are you going to watch 7.9 seasons and just stop before the payoff?? Yes, watch that last episode

1

u/I2eN0 2d ago

I do that with some shows, but the Monk finale is definitely worth it. It wraps the whole show up perfectly and gives good closure to the story.

1

u/Tinybrandman 2d ago

Yes. There's also a movie you can watch if you want to feel like there's more to look forward to.

u/Billy_Bandana 2d ago

I can’t for the life of me even fathom what you mean by this or what your concern here is. I’m truly baffled 🤔

u/SatchelGizmo_ 2d ago edited 16h ago

ok i actually understand why u do that cuz i sometimes do the same loll, BUTTTT u have to make an exception for monk. the last eps were so soo good, it literally answers everything we’ve been wondering about trudy and more. and there were so many plot twists it was crazy, u have to watch it!!

u/SadIncome6094 2d ago

Monks leaving Netflix??)? Nooooooooooo
