Police drama Monk is about to leave Netflix UK and Ireland, so if you want to watch one of the 2000's standout American crime comedy-drama shows, you haven't got long.

The streaming service will be losing all eight seasons and 125 episodes on March 14, and there's currently no other streaming service offering the show as part of a subscription.

If you want to watch the show after that date, you'll need to buy it digitally or on disc (seasons one to eight are available on DVD from Amazon).

Originally running from 2002 to 2009, Monk follows Tony Shalhoub's detective Adrian Monk. After his wife's murder, his obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and many phobias grew to the point where he quit the force and became housebound.

Eventually, he decides to re-join the world and start solving cases again, hoping to figure out the truth of what happened to his wife. While he often rubs people up the wrong way, he's adept at solving the unconventional mysteries of the week.

Monk was highly acclaimed during its run and in retrospect, with a 100% positive Rotten Tomatoes rating.

A The Globe and Mail critic called season one of the show a "unique gem", adding, "it has a real heart".

Shalhoub's lead performance was also cited as its standout aspect, making the character one of the great TV detectives.

In 2023, a follow-up film titled Mr Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie premiered on US streamer Peacock.

Monk will be available to stream on Netflix UK and Ireland until March 14. The series and film can also be purchased from outlets like Amazon and Apple.
