    Storyline

    Edit
    Richard "Rick" Castle is a millionaire playboy who recently killed off his main character when a serial killer starts killing people like he does in his books. He teams up with New York police detective Kate Beckett to solve the case. He finds inspiration in Detective Beckett and starts shadowing her for his next book.

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The actress who plays Ryan's wife in the show, Juliana Dever, is Seamus Dever's (Ryan's) real life wife.
    • Goofs
      We see Castle constantly ask the detectives working with him (or the detectives themselves) to put out APB's (All Points Bulletins) or BOLOs (Be On the Look Out) to bring suspects and witnesses in. When found the New York City Police brings them to the station for the Detectives and Castle to interview even though it's pretty clear they didn't want to come. If there is no probable cause for an arrest or an active arrest warrant, the police can't make you go anywhere against your will. Once in a while, a wealthy or educated person will assert this and ask a lawyer to be present but this is rare.
    • Quotes

      [repeated season 2 episode open]

      Richard Castle: [v.o] There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people: psychopaths and mystery writers. I'm the kind that pays better. Who am I?

      Richard Castle: I'm Rick Castle.

      Richard Castle: Castle.

      Richard Castle: Castle.

      Richard Castle: I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?

      Richard Castle: [v.o] Every writer needs inspiration, and I found mine.

      Kate Beckett: Detective Kate Beckett.

      Kate Beckett: Beckett.

      Kate Beckett: Beckett.

      Kate Beckett: Nikki Heat?

      Martha Rodgers: The character he's basing on you.

      Richard Castle: [v.o] And thanks to my friendship with the Mayor, I get to be on her case.

      Richard Castle: I'd be happy to let you spank me.

      Richard Castle: [v.o] And together we catch killers.

      Richard Castle: We make a pretty good team, you know. Like Starsky and Hutch, Turner and Hooch.

      Kate Beckett: You do remind me a little of Hooch.

    9/10
    A writer's show.
    I wish IMDb had a decimal system because this show isn't an 8. From what I saw in the Pilot it is a solid 8.5 at the very least. Tho the pilot was fairly predictable when it comes to crime shows that aren't CSI or Law and Order (i.e. one character is a fan of the other. Half way through everything is wrapped up a little too neatly etcetera), it was still an enjoyable romp.

    Kate Beckett is a beautiful, hard nosed cop that should be working for a private law firm and Nick Castle is an arrogant, but devoted author and father.

    Stana Katic (awesome name) is beautiful, but not so much that you wonder why she is a cop and not some goddess on an Italian beach like so many actresses tend to be. She plays her part very well, and the scene she has with Fillon when he, as Castle is peeling away her layers is amazing. She barely gives anything away until the very last moment, but with her facial expressions you know it's coming making her character all the more wonderful.

    Nathan Fillion is wonderful as the successful, charismatic, and egocentric Pop mystery writer who seems to be not a drunk (unlike Hank Moody, played wonderfully by David Duchovney in Californication) and is a loving, attentive father apparently who also has an intriguing backstory with his publisher/ex-wife which I hope is a back story they continue to develop throughout the series.

    This really was a fun series. I know new shows have a very short lifespan, but this is one I hope has a decent shelf life. Watching just the pilot I see the potential for great stories, for great ad-libs and i do want to see the happy ending where the jaded, divorced writer and the hard nosed cop with a history work to deconstruct each episodes mystery, and each other. And as would be when the characters have bared all they can, they either finally get into bed together, or they get married:)
