Started out interesting. But the more you get watch, the more you realize it would be better without the main character. The relationship between Castle and Beckett just doesn't work. Espo and Ryan (and Beckett) make it worth watching.

I don't get it , I thought it was hype ! The plot is flat and the acting isn't much better! It reminds me of 'Murder she wrote' with a guy! Only a little more intense, how can anyone call this good drama? Is beyond me , the best crime dramas . Are by far 'Criminal Minds' , and 'CSI NY!' But if I want to watch a show with no substance and mere window dressing ! Then I would watch this show only out of sheer boredom! That is a sign of a bad show, I mean seriously if I wanted to watch a writer solve crime! I would watch good old JB Flecther ! That is my daughters take on this show.I have watched this show and I fell asleep. That is a sign that a show really sucks. If I wanted to watch a boring show I would watch the Good Wife which also puts me to sleep.I would rather read a book then take a nap. But that is what a slow boring show can do to a person, is make them take a one hour nap.

Years after release, i decided to try this show. It's really terrible. I don't like any of the actors and the story line is lame and banal. The relationship between Beckett and Castle is pathetic. I cannot believe that any thinking person would enjoy this tv series.

I watched two seasons and I cannot bear to watch any more.

The only character I liked was Castle's daughter. She's a doll.

I cannot stand the actors who play Castle and Beckett.

Their romance is ridiculous.

The mother is a cliche.

I could only watch two seasons of this show and won't be watching any more after this. Good luck to fans.

I am utterly shocked to see the positive response generated by thing show among viewers. For the trained eye of a true fan of the genre, this is at most terrible! Details wrong, facts taken straight from the red riding hood story. This is merely a child's play and nothing more! Parents who don't even flinch when they receive notice about their children's death, sociopaths with the personality complexity of the boogie man.

I barely barely made it through the first 3 episodes and the only reason I watched three of them is to see if it is indeed this bad all the time. Well, as they say, give the audience what they want, but if this is what the audience wants, then the educational system is a complete and utter failure. The entire "Castle" story can barely be bought by a child. How, how on God's green Earth does this piece of .... have a constant audience?

First off, I just found the show and watched two episodes, so I'm proud I can't claim follower expertise. I don't foresee it getting any better, but perhaps I'll just skip forward to the episodes with Max Martini, who is always beyond excellent.

I started in on "Castle" since I, like so many others, loved Firefly and hoped that Nathan Fillion would bring us another character as magnetic as Malcolm. That proved impossible, primarily due to the lack of decent writers, character development (really, there's no place for them to go, is there?), or purpose. For Mal did have purpose, and his idiosyncrasies played well as second string to the greater overall missions he led his crew on. Here, as a watered down version of real life Charlie Sheen, a bored, talented rich boy with a ridiculously large need of self assertion, and too many dead hookers in the closet (or book) to count. I keep expecting the next scene to show him drink tiger blood while screaming "winning!!!".

In Firefly, Mal knows what he wants - and acts when he can't get it. His relationships with all the other characters (who have depth and lives and stories of their own, though I never did see what Kaylee saw in Simon), and the plot twists with the complexities his choices due to those relationships. In comparison, Castle is surrounded with the cliché alcoholic mother (see Huff, or, for a well-written example, Archer) (oh, and I can't see anything but Falcon Crest when I look at her!), type-A daughter, an**-retentive mean-spirited exes and trying for a relationship with another boring stiff.

Honestly, the setup of Beckett's character as a bitter, lonely, unhappy and sexually unfulfilled workaholic might work better if it weren't such a overused stereotype, especially in the police world. In a high stress job like hers, I imagine it's worth minimizing energy loss to get through the day, yet she gets surprised, ruffled and upset by Castle's every little trick, like knowing the mayor and the judges. Why not just enjoy the free ride, it's obviously making her job easier.

She's speculated to once have had her heart broken... well, that goes for most people 22 and over, doesn't it? If you compare to similar TV-copladies, Jane Timoney from Prime Suspect has a way better 1) actress 2) character 3) writers. Oh, and she wasn't a blithering idiot. Of course, that show was... canceled.

Returning to the problem of the missing purpose, just aside from the moral dilemma of using people's unfathomable tragedies as a cheesy love story backdrop, what does Castle want, other than to escape boredom? Get laid by the most boring person in New York? Want any break from the predictable monotony of his life so far, a little distraction from every day... that's not providing entertainment (I assume that's the goal of the show, since it isn't cerebral stimulation or thespian brilliance), so it sounds like any one of the presumed viewers, looking for a few hours reprieve.

I imagine Fillion reading the script for the pilot, realizing it was intellectually and dramatically inferior material, and drawing a long sigh of relief. Since this is the type of show that Firefly was canceled for, at least he'd be employed for a few years to come. And that's a sellout I don't see Captain Reynolds having any patience for.

Another one bites the dust.

This could have been so much more of a series. A good storyline wasted.

The main character, whatever his first name was (you see this is how interesting a show it was. I couldn't even remember his first name), has awkward relation with the rest of the cast to say the least, very bad at conveying his emotions across, over acting comic scenes which destroys the potential for some laughters, and... this is the worst part of it, he himself doesn't know whether the character is supposed to be serious with some likable, funny traits, or likable and funny but gets serious when things require him to be. If the actor/character doesn't know how is the audience suppose to know?

As for the heroine of the piece Kate Beckett, she can't play anything bu a poker faced villain. Very very bad choice as a heroine, for a show that requires it's characters to speak for themselves.

All in all, it was an interesting idea for a series, but poorly executed. It would have been great if it worked, but unfortunately it has not.

I don't know the audience for this show but if you are a fan of detective mystery like Sherlock or crime thrillers like Luther, you will be very disappointed with this no-brainer series. I watched a couple of episodes and could guess the plot withing 5 minutes after the revealed the murder. The characters are also cartoonish with no real substance. No cop talk or behaves like that. The author sleuth is just terrible at this. Sorry to say....

In short, there are so much better crime shows or even drama comedies (if that's why u watch this) around than one should not waste its precious time on this show.

Nathan has a strong following.

But here we are sgsin.

A "famous" duccessful crime mystery, friend of the Msyor & police commis, writer works on a case for the NYPD. Why?, I think it was related tob some book he wrote. That mskes him a crime fighter.

I seriously doubt NYPD detectives welcome civilians to play Police. Maybe a handwriting expert, or. Some scientific specialty.

I gave it 2 stars not 1 bec Nathan &Katie make good leads. I cant say i ike the flambount actress mother. But i guess thered be no spice otherwise. There's no play on Kate's perdonal life.

I watched it 2009. But not on tv reruns.
