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?
The ratings were great on this show. Stana Katic shouldn’t have been fired. I think if they would have stayed with the story line in season 8, and baby makes three we would be still watching this great show
Castle was the best show that had the female lead being the badass of the duo. All the other ones that came after that fell short. The slow burn of the Beckett/Castle relationship allowed for the character development of both and made me want to keep watching just to find out if they we ever going to be a thing. 10/10 I wish it didn’t end!
Castle is one of my favorite shows. Keep it coming. I just Love that show.
I loved Castle. I love Castle. I will forever love Castle. The love story moved me, the plots tickled my mind.
I absolutely loved this television series. I watched it and rewatched It many times. It should still be renewed for a ninth season.
WORST. FINALE. EVER. The production team should be humiliated and ashamed.
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.
