    While this focus [ on Kate and the shadowy lethal forces] at times approaches a "perils of Pauline" level of melodrama, with a showdown that pushes the credibility envelope, it's fun to watch.

  1. This new season delivers what fans have been waiting for 5 years to see, Beckett and Castle romance although they try to keep it a secret few glances and "handshakes" always tell us what is really going on in their minds Full Review »
  2. Without the comedy aspect that has been at Castle’s core since the very first episode you are basically left with another police procedural, a a genre that has never held my interest for very long. Unfortunately the quality of writing in this regard has seen a steady, yet undeniable, decline since the shows peak in season three and as a result I have found that I increasingly watch the show for the performances of Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion rather than for anything the show itself does. The duos on-screen chemistry has always been integral to the show but as its fifth season comes to a close it really is one of the few things keeping me watching. Full Review »
  3. This show has gotten better over the past five years. The last two part show was very well done. The addition of Mr. Brolin as the father was a very good touch and made a great deal of show seem to come together Full Review »
