A great new show that I love! Castle is a savvy and clever detective/murder drama that mixes seriousness with humor. It is quality entertainment that keeps you on the seat of your chair until the very last second.
Richard Castle is played by the incredibly adorable and up-in-coming actor Nathan Fillon who wowed us with Waitress a few years back and played Dana Delaney's husband on Desperate Housewives for a season. With his own show, he shows a new side of himself as a wildly successful mystery book writer looking for a new muse who he finds in Kate Beckett.
Kate, played by Stana Katic, is a young, beautiful detective at NYPD with an edge, as always. Her dark past slowly revealed itself throughout season 1 and was the cliff hanger in the finale. I had never heard of her before this show, but I will not forget her after this witty performance. She has been a guest star slough of television shows and has some movie roles, but this seems like her big break.
Like all other cop shows these days, Castle puts a twist of the usual murders by making them interesting and very often just bizarre. Castle's and Kate's on-screen chemistry is red hot and makes me want to desperately know when they're going to cut all that tension by getting together, but spoilers have assured me that they won't be getting together any time soon. I guess it's more fun that way, and certainly makes the show more edgy.
Castle's teenage daughter and eccentric mother add flavor and character to the cast, as do Beckett's partners. It didn't do amazingly well viewer-wise in its opening run, but with a great time slot, formerly occupied by Boston Legal, I hope more people watch it. Incredibly sassy and fun, I look forward to tuning in this Fall for the season premiere on Sept. 21 at 10/9 central.
