There are many shows which have elements of Sherlock Holmes within them. One of those shows happens to be Monk. Though I do not watch it, I have at some point seen my brothers and mother watching it. I have gotten the general idea, Sherlock Holmes is a bit of a germaphobe and so is Monk. Monk has a fine attention to detail, and both have taken on some lighter cases. Both of them were bullied as children and tended to be quieter then some. The both of them do not have time for serious relationships and tend to stay away from them. The both of them have a very fine attention to detail and can point out the smallest flow in just about anything. If something does not belong they can spot it a mile away, continuing the investigation as they do not want to be wrong. If they get something wrong they simply scuff and do not believe it. Holmes is an individual character of Arthur Conan Doyle’s imagination, so he is technically a relic of the past but also not. His characteristics can be impersonated but not perfectly to the touch, he is truly a remarkable character and was very important to the Victorians who wished for justice to prevail.
