I usually like the 2 leading actors ( Nathan Fillion of Firefly & Stana Katic of Absentia ) so I though I'd give this show "Dick" "Castle" ( aka Richard Castle as the main character ) a shot but as soon as this "Dick" finds out 2 people have been murdered copy catting 2 of his books instead of being a normal human being this total "Dick Castle author" asks for copies of the photos of 2 dead people from their crime scenes so he can show off to his friends.
Not only would this make this guy a total idiot ( & possible psychopath ) for having no empathy for the victims or their families, it would also lead the police to believe he was a prime suspect taking time away from what as an audience we could only believe must be a different person as the killer.
If I really don't like this "Dick Castle" why would I watch the show as this whole disgusting scene lost me any inclination to want to watch this show.
If they had made the character totally drunk & was seriously told off by the lead detective Kate Beckett who should of been unbelievably horrified at such a request for "bragging rights" to people being murdered in the same way he wrote the books maybe, a then sober "Richard Castle" could have been horrified at himself for allowing himself be such an incredible jerk & sincerely apologise to Kate Beckett & promise to do much better as a human being then we might have been able to see the start of redemption for this seriously flawed character ( then when he met the victims family I would hope he would feel truly terrible & admit he had a serious problem with reality & how he needed to realise real life is not like his books at all.
However this "Dick Castle" was stone cold sober with a stone cold heart.
I don't blame the actors but the script & the director lost me right then!
( we had already seen "Dick Castle" was a Father so why would he be such a jerk at his age & without a good reason to explain it you lose your audience right away that have any feeling for the murder of 2 innocent people ).
