Where to Watch The Monkees in the UK

Not every great comedy makes it onto the major platforms, and The Monkees is a reminder of why it's always worth looking beyond the obvious. 2 seasons and 58 episodes of content is out there — TV Butler finds it for you instantly without the guesswork.

Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate The Monkees from the crowd. Micky, Mike, Peter, and Davy are four young men in mid-1960s LA, members of a struggling country-folk-rock band looking for their big break amid madcap encounters with a variety of people straight out of TV and movie central casting, with full knowledge that their existence is part of a weekly television series. Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons (1966–1968), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. The Monkees respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
