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?
Should renew this show. It’s wonderful
ABC, I expected more of you! “Castle” is, now was, one of the best shows on TV. It was the “Goldilocks” of shows, i.e., “just right” mix of drama, comedy, suspense, intrigue, creativity, great acting, charm. It’s one of the very few shows where the two main characters were able to get married and still have a story line that was far from being worn out. What a great loss!
I wait each week for this show. It is sad that it has to go. The final show was ok, but it could have been better. Now I have to watch some mindless show in it’s place. In act no I won’t. I’ll just go to another network.
Please renew its a awesome nighttime show that has drama, love, family and anyone in the family can warch
I watched the final show and was shocked that they had three children. I knew that meant it is no longer going to be on air. I’m very disappointed and love the show. There’s not to many shows I enjoy. But the one I do is no longer on
I have watched Castle from it’s beginning and liked it immensely, except for a few episodes at the beginning of season 8. I feel that if Stana Katic leaves the show, it might as well be cancelled. It’s too bad that the TV management feels that the stupid shows that are left on for the kids require “Castle” to vacate their time.
PLEASE DONT CANCELL ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS
It’s one of the only shows I watch I hate the fact you have canceled this show. So I guess some crap ass show will take its place
I am heart sick!! I love that show
That was the worst possible ending finale for Castle. ABC could have taken lessons from the Mentalist on how to end a series.
The good shows are always cancelled and the worthless ones seem to continue on. Is there any chance it will return?
Networks put so much idiocy on the screen. Castle wasn’t one of them so, of course, we lost it. Great team of actors, good script, no vulgarity. This was a family sensitive production.
Seems like so many are in agreement. This was a good show that didn’t deserve cancellation.
I would have liked to see renewal of the program. It was one of thee few programs we really enjoyed. Producers run out of imagination and the viewers pay the price. So sorry to see Castle go.
WTF I love this show. so I guess another stupid comedy show or astupid reality show will take its place? what a shame bring it back!!!!!! :/
