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.

What do you think? Do you like the Castle TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a ninth season?
This was such a great show. I could n’t wait to get home to watch it. Even though I understand there was issues between the star, it was never communicated to the viewers.
This is one my fav wonder what happen , I seen it ended in 2016. Never seen ending use to come on USA or TNT can’t find anywhere.. agree with the others!!
I will really miss watching Castle on TV with the two main lands with good comedy *** for tat and with great chemistry with the characters. After LokSat, I am interested in what the storyline would have been like for season 9 if they continue on with the show?
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.
Castle TV series was a funny, drama entertaining full of action that always kept you in suspense. Well written and acted it is a shame it was cancelled our whole family watched it.
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.
