The season premiere of the short 10-episode season was the best of the bunch. With a small difference - in his books, the two are lovers, which Castle wants to replicate with Beckett.
A strong forceful female homicide detective who works with a roguish mystery writer to solve cases. He even bases a new character on her - Nikki Heat. Castle helps solve the case, and the successful partnership continues so Castle can do research.Īs the opening narration reveals, every writer has his muse, and Castle thinks he's found his. He convinces the mayor to "let" him work the case as a consultant/advisor, much to Beckett's dismay, and the game is afoot. She doesn't think that he's likely involved, but she has to interview him anyway.Ĭastle is hooked.

A serial killer is committing murders and staging them to look like kills from Castle's books, so Beckett needs to interview him. The fact that she's also hot is irrelevant to her, but not to Castle. Castle's looking for something new.Įnter Kate Beckett, a strong forceful female homicide detective. So bored in fact that he has killed off his best-selling character, Derrick Storm, a rogue prone to danger. He has money, toys, and rotating women, but he's bored. Richard Castle is a successful best-selling author, twice married and twice divorced, living in a spacious Manhattan condo with the single actress mother (Martha) who raised him and a bright teenage daughter (Alexis). Unlike most things, it gets better with age. If you haven't seen it in a few years I highly recommend another viewing. If you haven't watched Castle yet, now is the perfect time. This is an ensemble cast you'll come to love, getting to know them is a pleasure. The storylines remain inventive and interesting (even the 3rd time through) and the character development is fantastic. The two leads maintain a sparkling Hepburn/Tracy chemistry with the snappy banter to match. The fact that he's a dedicated father with lots of heart keeps him likable, even at his worst.
His terrible innuendos and outdated ideas make perfect sense for the character and it's fun to watch him evolve. We have a tough, smart and very driven female lead, a multicultural cast that feels vital to the ensemble and never tokenized and Nathan Fillion as the good-natured butt of every joke about straight white men ever. It's rare for a television show to stand the test of time, cultural norms have shifted radically in the past few decades, but Castle largely keeps up. On my 3rd time through I find myself an even bigger fan of the show and rooting all the harder for the main couple. The pandemic has me rewatching old favorites and this one certainly holds up.
