Main review: I'm not normally into the crime drama tv series that much but i though i would give this series a chance , low & behold the pilot episode got me hooked ive love the series ever since.
This series has a good balance are crime drama as well as a blend of comedy which make this a brilliant series , which is a a little odd but in a good way.
The whole series revolves around the writer Richard castle played by Nathan Fillion who a bit of a joker kind of get on Kate Beckett nerves (Stana Katic ) but in a funny way as castle is writing a book on her with a character called Nicky heat, though out the season you see their relationship go through there up & down as there friendship blossom's.
This is one of many Tv series ive actually enjoyed watching & one series i reconmend if you haven't yet watched any of the season. its not only funny at time but its very entertaining for with drama. Stana Katic & Nathan Fillion have great on screen chemistry which is why this series is so good & funny special when castle is a playing mood the scene are just funny.
I've gotta admit i dont know why i didnt watch this series sooner , although this is funny its not a series for your younger viewers as some episode have alot of bloody crime scene & people getting shot, as well a sex scenes which adds to the flare of the series theme.
Sex & Nudity: No nudity. Some sexual references in some episodes. Talks about rape and sexual assault. There is one sex scene in an episode in the first season however it is not explicit at all.
Violence & Gore: Sometimes, some bloody images are shown and some violence shown. Nothing too graphic
Profanity : Infrequent uses of bitch, slut, ass, bastard, damn, and hell.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Sometimes, drinking and smoking shown.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: Some bloody images maybe too intense for children. And some episodes may frighten them too
What i love about this series is the way castle use's his writing skill to help the police solve crime's in the clever way , this is what make castle character brilliant some what funny at time along with Kate Beckett who has a very dark family past that come to light after years which puts a strain not only on her but on her friendship with castle.
This adds the drama of the series which is actually worth watching,
Stana Katic 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 brilliantly , 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 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.
If there is any series you should watch its this series brilliant from episode to episode through season to season if you love the crime drama's with a comedy side as well this is a series i reconmend watching, special if you a Nathan Fillion fan.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9 out of 10 for drama & comedy
