It's A Jungle Out There
Monk (TV Series, 2002-2009)
Few people wouldn't recognize Randy Newman's iconic theme song "It's a Jungle Out There," paired with the character's expressions of disgust or awkwardness in the intro.
After years of occasionally catching the show on the Greek tv, I decided to watch it more regularly, and I don't regret it. Perhaps it's because the series accompanied me during the best years of American TV shows that was broadcasted in the Greek TV some of the shows were ( Friends , Smallville , One tree hill )
I'll try to convey the feeling it left me with and my thoughts on it.
Is it too simple and linear for today's standards of crime shows, style, etc.? Maybe.
Is it outdated when it comes to the use of technology in criminology? Yes.
Does it have plot holes? Not many, but yes.
At first glance, it seems like a comedic, easy-to-watch show following a troubled character.
But it hides much more.
Tony Shalhoub gives the performance of a lifetime (3 Emmys, 1 Golden Globe, among others), transforming into the lovable yet awkward character of (former) detective Adrian Monk, who is haunted by the unresolved mystery of his wife's murder and her absence, hoping every day for a new clue, a piece of information, or one last touch from her.
I don’t know if mental illness had ever been so prominently featured in a detective show before ,but it certainly was in Monk. OCD takes center stage, along with dozens of phobias and disorders, yet this tortured, exhausted, and seemingly empty man manages to get out of bed each day, mobilize himself, and accomplish something. And not just anything insignificant — he brings criminals to justice.
Throughout his journey, various obstacles frequently push him — often in an artificial way (one of the weaknesses of the writing is the constant impediment of the character's development) — back to his old, bad habits. The obsessions, the torturous repetition, the insomnia, and the insecurity.
But there are also other challenges presented in a very natural and necessary way, which he overcomes in his own peculiar manner.
Adrian Monk has few but genuinely good friends, and they almost always serve as comfort characters for the audience , as the burden of mental illness often needs to be lightened. Nonetheless, social isolation, loneliness, and, of course, the protagonist’s egoism and narrow-mindedness complete the framework in which the mostly standalone episodes (with very few exceptions) unfold.
Notably, in most cases, the perpetrator of each crime is revealed from the beginning of the episode, but the unfolding of events and the characters' quirks maintain a pleasant anticipation for the resolution.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out
We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues
lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming
There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users
Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE
The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way
Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL
We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts
How To Fool An Entire Population
it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content
We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions
Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content
Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic
We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources
