My husband is having a good laugh at my expense over "Castle". I have a pretty strict "murder is not a form of entertainment" policy, so we don't watch CSI, NCIS, etc. ever. Then comes Nathan with this show. Huh. So I watched it. And I liked it. A lot. I think the two main characters are perfect foils off of each other and the acting first rate. The show is more about character interaction than the technical points of killing another human being. I can't believe I'm looking forward to a murder show. Sigh. Just goes to show - never say never unless you like eating your own words and providing endless amusement to your significant other - especially where Nathan is involved.

I liked the show, I'm not sure about the female cop, but I think this could be really fun.

At last a show that just tries to entertain and not just try to change the face of TV. I liked it.
Full of clichés but then in 45 minutes you need that to find the characters pronto!

Refreshing however that the father daughter relationship is solid and not saddled with the usual angst and dumb rebukes ( I loved the way he pushed her along the hallway). Nathan was hysterical and I think this will elvate his status as a lead who can take the weight of a show, and I'm surprised so many of you weren't keen on Becket. I thought she was excellent. Cute too! I like the fact that Nathan's character realises he's annoying and rather than try and suppress that, he makes himself even more annoying. Brilliant. It was funny seeing Steven J. Cannell at the poker table poking fun at the 'formula' of being a writer.

And yes, the whole seen with:
"This psycho needs a breath mint - Tell me you saw that!" and - "The safety was on." That was great.

I did like the female detective. Although I wanted the story to really make us feel sorry about her having to work with an arrogant writer, crime scene investigation savant (and Nathan Fillion!) though he might be. I kind of wish she'd come across as stronger, without a secret fancrush on his stories. "I'm here and this is what I do" instead of "I lost someone close to me and it still hurts." Maybe they can still add a snarky element of "and thanks for bringing that up, BTW" to that.

So I hope she steps up and manages to show up Castle's character a few more times than just the "you believed his alibi" moment.

And I also enjoyed getting to see Nathan play his strengths again. Someone somewhere said that Nathan always brings out the most obnoxious qualities of his characters: to that I say, no, he's playing to their flaws, which make the characters more interesting than some bland perfect superman type protagonist.
