Lotsa fast banter and stylish direction will make some viewers dimly recall--as they are doubtlessly meant to--William Powell and Myrna Loy's late, great "Thin Man" movie series.
Yes, it is all kind of dopey and has that "been there/ done that" feel. But Fillion is so right for the part and carries the show so well that he makes the show more fun than it deserves for an otherwise by-the-book procedural.
definitely, one of my favorite shows! It's so smart and it never fails to make me laugh! Nathan and Stana are amazing! The dynamic between their characters is incredibly well written and so real! The whole cast has a special place in my heart. So sad to hear about Stana and Tamala, though :(
Entretenido, gracioso y puede ser dramático si lo desea.
No quiere llegar a su audiencia a la fuerza uno termina amando a los personajes y sabe emocinarte cuando debe hacerlo.
Katic has the more thankless role, as the actress in this scenario inevitably does, but the necessary sparks fly when she and Fillion are on screen together swapping barbs, and hopefully as time goes on, she'll get more to do than play kindergarten teacher to Castle. How much you like the series will depend almost entirely on how you enjoy watching these two spar; for me, that was enough.
The problem is that in the pilot and an early episode, the crimes are nowhere as compelling as the characters. For a show like "Castle" that dares to launch a more classic version into an already saturated and tarted-up market, the murders have to be as complicated and compelling as the push-me-pull-you glances between the main characters, and so far, they just aren't.
I know this is going to come as a shock, but when the scene is designed around Kate, the show sags. By contrast, when Rick strolls into the room, the show perks up.
Awesome series i love to watch it, the story and the story, characters and the overall picture also is quite realistic if you compare it with some of the other police-series and they don't have all the high tec stuff policemen have in other series but just some awesome police-work.
This show is not bad it's pretty good but, that's all this show will be just good not great not spectacular not awesome not fantastic not remarkable just GOOD. This show is very watchable and that's its best quality of all. This show boast a pretty sweet set and the thing that draws people back to watch this show is the good stories and good chemistry of its cast particularly the between the two leads of Castle and Beckett. The show has nice as aesthetics nice use of its set and pretty good use of guns. The only thing that's great (great is one above good and no higher) in this show is the acting of a select few of its cast and that's it. This show has a unique aspect in that a best-selling book author is used to assist in crimes with law-enforcement and how integral his family becomes to the show which adds a unique quirkiness to this show.
Forgettable
That's what you are,
Forgettable
Tho' near or far.

It is hilarious that a show like Castle gathers a nine from the users while the average score from the critics just barely raise it above a five. The gap illustrates the problem with user based reviews: you have a bunch of fanboys that give said show a ten - which is bizarre to say the least - and nobody else gives a hoot. Who is going to comment on a show you do not like, hence do not watch?
Well, I do.
I just saw about twenty minutes of the show by sheer coincidence, and it reminded me of various other moments that I ran into this show. I recall switching channels when the advertisements interrupted and then forgetting all about it.
In this particular episode the killer drugs someone with scopolamine so that person becomes a will less tool that can be used to perpetrate a murder. A murder by proxy, therefore. I wonder why not more murders are committed that way. In fact, we better hush this one up, before you know it, extremists my use this to send us waves of drugged citizens to murder the rest of us.. Why does the Cia not drug the water supplies of the IS and turn them into will less tools?
Perhaps because it is nonsense?
I sat totally baffled at this sheer piece of dribble and waited for the canned laughter to erupt, but none came. In fact, the whole show seems just take this in one serious stride and get on with it. Was it meant to be funny or meant to be serious? It seemed neither: it just came over as nonsense.
The more baffling is that non of the people involved were actually funny. The male lead seems have problems changing his facial expression so it is the same most of the time. Of course he tries to place a funny remark here and there, but it just doesn't feel like it is funny. The female lead is even less convincing: she is there be pretty, flutter her eyes and gape at the smartness of Castle. You see that is why pretty blond women exists in shows. There is little to no chemistry between the two.. if there was meant to be one and thus no engaging dialog.
I watched the show amble along. The main suspect had a watertight alibi and so an trap was planned by Castle(i got a plan, baby. Oh.. Castle you such a smartypants!) The suspect was informed that the guy he had drugged was set free because a rich uncle had put up the bail. This suspect thus feared that the guy he used would come to find him to take revenge.
Oh my god. How can this guy, being smart enough to drug a guy to have him perform a murder, be so stupid as to fall for such an obvious trick?
Again one piece of nonsense was followed by the next and it was somehow meant to be funny.
I get it..
But you know. If something serious is meant to be funny, then it somehow misfires when that serious thing is just sheer nonsense. But if it is sheer nonsense, the cast somehow should act accordingly. Instead nonsense was dealt with a seriousness that belied all funniness.
It is as if the cast wasn't quite aware that is was all baloney.
If that is the case, then that is the biggest joke of all, but I suspect that a more mundane explanation is that this show is hogwash and thus..
Forgettable
In every way,
And forever more
That's how you'll stay
I find Castle arrogant and unbelievable in his character. I also find the whole premise of him being able to follow police around to the point of questioning suspects and being allowed to go into situations he ends up in equally unbelievable. The personal stories are irritating time for a bathroom break when they start whining about not making their feelings known to each other, or the heaviness of decisions over everyday problems. The stories can be interesting, but the characters aren't.
