...is a good show. However I can't shake the feeling that it's all been done before. The fact that it's a cop show doesn't help, but all the other elements of the show are in other shows as well. For example: *an author that solves crime (from Bones) *a daughter that plays an active role in each episode (as in Lie To Me) *a mother that plays an active role in each episode (like Burn Notice) and *a cop who has a tragic past that motivated them to join the police (from, oh, EVERY SINGLE COP SHOW IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION. doesn't anyone become a cop just because they want to.) Now, I'm not saying that Castle is a bad show, in fact it's one of favourite shows on TV right now. I suppose it all just falls under the old saying: "There's nothing new under the sun." And I just started watching Buffy from the beginning and (a. it's a bloody awesome show and (b. David Boreneaz looks about twelve (watching an old buffy episode then a new bones episode back to back is quite weird.) Me Done.
