TV show description:
Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) is an incredibly famous mystery novelist who has become bored with his own success. His life starts to get interesting when he learns that a real-world copycat killer has started staging murder scenes based on his novels.
Rick is soon questioned by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), a very bright and aggressive detective who keeps her investigations under a tight rein. Their styles instantly clash yet sparks begin to fly, leading both to danger and a hint of romance as Rick steps in to help Kate find the killer. Once that case is solved, the author decides to use her as the basis for a new book series.
Rick uses his connections to get permission to accompany Kate while she investigates other cases, much to her frequent irritation. But Kate has a reputation for looking for “freaky” cases so she needs all the help she can get.
Others on her team include Kate’s confidant, Medical Examiner Lanie Parish (Tamala Jones); sardonic Detective Javier Esposito (Jon Huertas); and Detective Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever), a nice guy who’s always ready to offer obscure facts. Captain Roy Montgomery (Ruben Santiago-Hudson) is their boss who makes sure that Kate’s cases go smoothly, in spite of all of the strong personalities involved.
Rick’s mother is Martha Rodgers (Susan Sullivan), a diva and former Broadway actress, who still seeks the spotlight and often ends up getting involved with the police cases. Alexis (Molly Quinn) is Rick’s quick-witted and insightful teenage daughter who keeps her famous dad in line.
Rick and Kate build upon their new relationship as they look to solve strange homicides in New York — as much fun as one can have with death & murder.

I have really and I mean REALLY missed Castle That show was not only mistrey but family as well Even love story mixed with excitement and comedy too So how in the world can a show that offers everything be cancelled?
What has this world come too? Only s few people want the other stuff !
Castle had it all Why Why would you take away s wholesome TV show
SHAME on you.
I loved this show because the characters are interesting and the actors are brilliant. why cancelled?
I loved this show. Just seems a shame that a smart funny show should be cancelled. Besides what happened to the characters the finale left so many loose ends. I was very sad that the show had been cancelled. Please bring back Castle.
I loved Castle I do not know why the show was cancelled……..please bring Castle back with all original cast it was funny too. I always recorded and when I wanted to laugh I would look at Castle those guys are great actors……
This was and is my favorite show. I have been watching it since it first came on. My daughter is 8 month old and this is the only show she will sit still and watch. I think this show should come back.
The show should of been continued. It was a really good show with excellent actors! Plus, they have even taken the re runs off., what a disappointment . The station didn’t know they had such a good thing going for them.
I would love for Castle to come back but only with all of the original actors.
Castle needs an alternate ending, we need to know what Happened to the rest of the Characters and their happily ever afters? how did Kate And Castle survive that shot? what Happened to the person that shot Kate and Castle? Did kate become Senator as the future dude predicted?
Please bring Castle back. I loved this show. It was a show that you could really connect too. The new shows out today, I just cannot connect with. Some don’t even make sense.
Waiting and waiting for the new season of Castle to start only to find its been cancelled – “wha…..t!” The best show on television. This season of new shows not so good. Try to watch some of the new series and cannot connect with the characters and the plot like Castle. I would love to see this show back on the air. Please bring it back!
Bring Castle back

I wish the series would continue as it was. I liked the show, and it could have gone on for several, if not many more seasons.. The characters and actors seemed to work, work well with each other, and they became familiar and comfortable to watch, with all their idiosyncrasies, and traits. If “Kate” has to go.. well, maybe the show as “Castle” could go on. It is at least worth a try, although she did add a lot to the show, and particularly the “pair” together, the relationship was fun, and funny.
