This show is BRILLIANT! I have been in love with Nathan since Firefly. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the references he makes to that show all the time! Kate and Castle are so amazing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An overall great series! Season 8, though, is by far the best season of Castle. Well put-together and a very good season premiere, as well as an even better season finale. I really wish they would continue the show though, as it would've been great to witness Castle & Beckett raising their children as shown at the ending of the season finale.… Expand

Perhaps a slightly better start than last season, if only because the stupid BS excuse they invented to split up the couple and create artificial conflict is slightly less stupid. That being said, the show as a whole is tired and needs a move towards something other than made up conflictsPerhaps a slightly better start than last season, if only because the stupid BS excuse they invented to split up the couple and create artificial conflict is slightly less stupid. That being said, the show as a whole is tired and needs a move towards something other than made up conflicts and endless X-files-ication. Seriously, the layers of conspiracy are just getting dull and it feels like they will never end. What happened to solving silly murder cases with irreverant banter and the occasional gag?

It also doesn't help that they're now putting in jokes about the age of the characters. And they're struggling more and more to find reasons to keep them all together while developing them and moving them forward. One hopes the show is looking towards how to end in a way that serves the fans of its whole run.… Expand

CASTLE was once the absolute best show of those I loyally followed. Now? It pains me to watch because the plots are so predictable it hurts. I believe they need to try and bring back the original team of writers and get back on track. This idea of KATE moving out virtually immediately afterCASTLE was once the absolute best show of those I loyally followed. Now? It pains me to watch because the plots are so predictable it hurts. I believe they need to try and bring back the original team of writers and get back on track. This idea of KATE moving out virtually immediately after the wedding literally "stinks". If the clandestine crime figure wants to kill her they won't be stopped simply because she is living in a crummy apartment! They KNOW where she works! They know where Castle's OFFICE is located! Separating the two will NOT stop them from being murdered!

This could well be the last season if things do not turn around QUICKLY.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good show turned to absolute crap. Characters are acting totally stupid (especially in the last episode), old funny-symphatetic-big-child Castle is long gone, instead of him we watch spoiled toddler chasing demons which is almost unbearable to watch, my former beloved characters Brian and Esposito which were spice of this show are now boring as hell without any spark... But mainly - whole loksat story is so naive, unreal and poorly written ! After their break-up Becket and Castle are secretly back together meeting in Castle's apartment (very secret, yes) successfully hiding that fact from someone with CIA resources at his disposal and with army of mercenaries. There is absolutely no explanation of motivations of main evil characters not to mention that there is no background - what they do and how they exactly operate under CIA's nose, why they are so powerful, simply there is no story. Also because there are so few main-story episodes. Instead watching well thought main story we watch dozen of ridiculous episodes which became more and more supernatural and in which Castle is more and more annoying and the whole Castle-Becket-police setting gets less and less credible.

And there is last episode - problems of whole 8th series concentrated into absolutely crappy ending. Totally stupid and unbelivable acting of main characters, no explanations, no nothing and one obligatory twist at the very end, again without any explanation, nothing. With exception of little bit interesting loksat's right-hand-man. But he is there for few minutes in last episode, great. Also Caleb, character with big story potential, well written and interesting and the main evil character as we found out - he is there for few seconds in the last episode. And in those few seconds this evil mastermind character goes bazooka and ..... is killed. The END.

At that point it I had strongest feeling that I had more or less during whole 8th series - that the creators gave up long time ago from whatever reason, like they are tired of their series and just want to switch cameras and lights off and go home.

Sorry for my poor English.… Expand

Now we have Beckett moved out of Castle’s apartment and keeping her distance because some secret organization “could” threaten to kill him. On top of that Beckett is promoted to Captain and Castle becomes a private detective.

It’s time for ABC to end this show. It has lost its charm and run out of original stories.… Expand

In just five episodes, Castle has become the worst TV ever from being the best Net Work TV series ever. They are unbearable to watch.

The plots such as they may call them are disconnected from even a fictional view of reality. The dialog is adolescent. Most of the cast, especially, Stana Katic, seem to have thrown in the towel. the story line is unsalvagable and the soon this disgrace off the air the better!!!!… Expand
