Castle, Season 1

This season so far, to put it in one word… Boring! Is it the fact that your writing to keep Castel out of the investigations, or what that’s not my problem? You need to figure that out but I’m sure it’s to late for this season. Do you have new writers? Up to this point my wife and I have loved the show, and I wish I had only paid for a few shows instead of the whole season. I hope it gets better.

I was not much of a TV guy for years, but I had watched this and that. I had become a fan of the Joss Whedon show /Firefly/, and on Netflix I had seen reviews that referred to /Castle/. After months of seeing the references, I finally decided to try it. Five seasons were already completed and available on iTunes. I have now watched each of the first five seasons four times, and I have watched some of the episodes more times than that. I don’t usually watch so much, but there is something about this show that resonates with me. Nathan Fillion’s acting is certainly part of that, but the whole cast is great. As with most shows, there are niggling details that bother me as the show moves forward, but the first four seasons are gold, and seasons five and six are only slightly behind. Season six is getting better as it goes along.

Best show ever!!!

Nathan Fillion is definetely one of the best actors out there. Not only can he pull off a character like Richard Castle but also Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly) and Captain Hammer (Dr. Horrible) which are both on iTunes. Castle is definetely one of the best crime shows ever because it not only gives so many twists but can make you laugh out loud also. There's no need to even think about buying this, JUST GET IT!!!

CASTILLIONS ROCK!!!!!!

Excellent. I love every minute of it!!!!!

This show is great for a first season! It's amazing. It's intense and awesome and funny. It's so much better than Bones! I love it. IT'S A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the BEST show EVER!! Download it! It's for sure a MUST!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! :D I LOVE YOU CASTLE!! ;)

A perfect show that has serious yet also funny mix that makes it just right.

Well, I thought I'd start watching Castle just to see what all the fuss was about and now I see why it gets such great reviews. This show is just fun, pure and simple. I am a big fan of "cop/procedural" shows but find a lot of the current offerings far too dark and serious. While not trying to be innovative - this is a tried-and-true formula, albeit one that works - Castle is one of the most well-written shows I've seen lately. There is drama aplenty here, but with a funny and light touch that makes all the characters, even the secondary ones, genuinely likable. Speaking of the characters, I think Castle and Beckett are my new favorite pairing of any TV show I've seen. Castle initially comes across as a bratty semi-celebrity who's let fame go to his head, but we eventually find out that under the shiny exterior he is a very intelligent, brave, kindhearted man. I especially love the relationship with his daughter - it's incredibly sweet and feels really genuine. The casting of the abundantly charming, funny and likable Nathan Fillion for the role was a brilliant move - I can think of no other actor better suited for the role. (And I'm thrilled that he's finally got a successful TV show on his hands after the travesty that was Firefly's untimely demise.) I was a little on the fence about Beckett for the first couple of episodes - she seemed too damaged and moody, and a little cliched - but as the season progressed, watching her irritation with Castle grow into a grudging admiration was really interesting to watch. I'm looking forward to learning more about her in the later seasons. Stana Katic is lovely and a very amusing foil in this partnership. Anyway, I really love this show and can't wait to see the rest. Highly recommended!
