TV Addict Review

Not only did CASTLE manage to keep me awake, it kept me laughing, smiling and most of all wondering how on earth anyone could fail to enjoy this show.
In case you missed it, CASTLE stars the ridiculously-likable Fillion as Richard Castle, an equally-charismatic novelist who finds himself paired up with Kate Beckett (Katic), a tough-as-nails NYPD detective, in an effort to track down a killer who has been using the author’s best-selling murder mysteries as more of a “how-to†rather than the light and fluffy page-turners that they are intended to be.
Do sparks fly between our two leading players? Of course! Is the episode’s ultimate baddie utterly predictable? You bet’cha! Does Castle’s overly-sexed mother and too-smart-for-her-own-good teenager daughter scream television clichà ©? Absolutely!
Yet Fillon more than makes up for any and all of CASTLE’s shortcomings thanks to the perfect mixture of flirtatious eyebrow raising and a seemingly endless stream of witty one-liners. So much so that I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun watching an hour-long police procedural.
Don’t get me wrong: I wouldn’t trade in my mythology-laden, dense and disturbing hour longs such as BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, LOST, and TERMINATOR for anything. But there is simply something to be said for a show that just wants to have fun†¦ and doesn’t make me feel like a modern-day luddite for not realizing that the guy in that grainy black and white video on last night’s LOST was revealed to have been vaguely connected to the Dharma Initiative four seasons ago.

My husband and I love this show. We never miss it and he is a Nathan Fillion fan from way back. I remember him from as far back as “One Life To Live” and love how far he has come in his career. I hope this series is picked up again for the fall season, it really is very enjoyable. The chemistry between his character and Kate Beckett is unbelievable and I just heard from Katee Sackhoff (at Starfest) that she auditioned for and did not get the role!
This is a great show and I hope we can continue to see more of it. Thanks to the cast & crew for a job well done!

I love this show. The Chemistry between Katic and Fillion is really awesome. Too bad its season finale is coming so soon. I will be waiting for its 2nd season very impatiently.
I love Castle!!!!
