Now on psychiatric leave from the San Francisco Police Department and working as a freelance detective/ consultant on difficult cases, Monk hopes to convince his former boss, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), to allow him to return to the force. Stottlemeyer, who wavered between admiration for Monk and annoyance at his eccentricities during the first season, is becoming more of a friend to Monk as the series develops, frequently calling him in to help, as much for Monk's benefit as for his own. However, he knows Monk's limitations as well as his strengths and may still harbor doubts about the wisdom of allowing Monk to carry a gun or subdue a perpetrator. Stottlemeyer's second-in-command, Lieutenant Randall Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), also seems to be developing both admiration and compassion for the man he once labeled "the defective detective."

　　HBO新剧《Hung》，中文译名《大器晚成》，这个译名很有神韵，关键在那个器字。Hung的意思是指男性雄壮伟大的器官，所以各位看官应该能心领神会吧？这个剧的看点在于：中年大叔、篮球教练、离婚、拖儿带女、穷困潦倒、无处藏身、胯下巨物，然后理所当然的……大叔卖身做兼职舞男了！
　　不过千万不要以为这是个H剧，实际上它探讨的话题还挺严肃的。特别是在目前全球经济一片不景气的大环境下，这个“性感大叔面临中年危机终于小宇宙爆发，发狠拼命”的剧情，还是很有现实意义的。而且它还是一部黑色幽默剧，再加上男主角是很有爱的Thomas Jane大叔，不辞辛劳的宽衣解带演出多场激情裸戏，简直是大叔控的福音啊。

　　来自《迷失》的Henry Ian Cusick扮演男主人公Stephen，诉讼律师，为Olivia工作。Tony Goldwyn扮演美国总统Fitzgerald Grant。Jeff Perry扮演美国总统的特别顾问Cyrus。Darby Stanchfield扮演为Olivia工作的调查员Abby Whelan，工作起来不要命。Katie Lowes扮演Quinn Perkins，一个很有抱负的年轻律师，为Olivia工作。Liza Weil扮演Julia Tannen，一个和Grant总统有私情的女人。Columbus Short、Guillermo Diaz参与演出。
