Monk: Mr. Monk and the Three Pies (2004)
Season 2, Episode 11
8/10
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
14 February 2020
John Turtorro steals the episode where he plays Ambrose, Monk's estranged brother. Here we are kept guessing until the very end, with a self-referential observation by Randy about Monk's summation not going as expected at the end. I wonder if Michael McKean's character in Better Call Saul was modelled on Ambrose by any chance? Here the central food is pies, yes pies!

I must admit, I fast forward Randy Newman's opening theme "It's a jungle out there". No respect to Randy of course, but I prefer the original theme by Jeff Beal which was performed in season 1.
