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?
My favorite drama with a little touch of flirt ones and a great script and full house of superb cast! ABC YOUR CHOICE IN THIS NEW Program DIRECTOR WAS A HIUUUGE mistake! Stop catering to teensy boppers and stupid sit coms! Finally immature woman had a show we loved . Also you never gave ” Forever” a Chance””! Cancelled after one season! Many did now it was on . Sick of this. Always cancel the best shows, like Brothers and Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Sex In The City, Now Cadtle and Firevet last year. Ugh.
I loved the castle series until they started having marital problems and Kate wanted a short separation. That’s not what Married people do. So I stop Twitching. I wish I hadn’t the ending was great. Now I have to watch on Hulu to catch up.
I just watched the final episode and I am devastated to learn it is the last. It is interesting, fun, clean, the whole family can watch, pure entertainment and a great cast. I can only hope for a reconsideration.
I am upset about this show being cancelled. The cast was great. Everyone! I looked forward to this show every week . I rarely watch TV. Seems like all the best shows that women watch and really enjoy are always being cancelled. There’s a lot of trash on TV now. ABC had the best line up and let it all go down. Nothing they replace these shows with is worth my time. I do not pay for cable. I think it’s a waste of a lot of money. All the shows I like have been canceled except for 3 on… Read more »
I was a devoted fan of Castle and will truly miss. This show gave me something to look forward to. No it shouldn’t have been cancelled.
I agree I loved this show was crushed when I heard it was ending. There is very little good one left I watch about 10 -15 different shows between the two seasons and the canceled about half this yr.. and I think with the new line up I found 4 I liked found out half of them was cancelled. I really enjoy paying 102.00 a month to watch 5 different shows a week so not worth it but stuck in a contract 2 more Yrs. They keep coming up with crap I’ll take the penalty to cancel cable.
I’m seriously having castle withdrawals on Monday nights there’s nothing on tv to watch and definitely nothing on ABC. I still think they should bring the show back. Let me go and watch some castle reruns.
I will truly miss Castle… I loved it! it was fun to watch.. it had drama, it had laughter. I hope ABC would rethink this cancellation. Love Nathan Fillion and he would have done well even if Stana Katic left. There were still stories to be told.
My husband and I both LOVE “Castle” and can’t understand why it is cancelled. What can be done to bring it back????
I have been following the series since the beginning and can honestly say that it truly made my weekends enjoyable. The actors were brilliant and the relationship believable . If my begging would spur you into continuing this fantastic programme, I would. Nothing else can fill the void of my fix of CASTLE. Please please please continue this good works .
I really like the show Castle and look forward to more episodes.
I love Castle. I was devastated when it was cancelled I was depressed and still am about the ending. Not fair to the fans. Castle and Becket deserve to have a long and happy live together.
Loved this show…sooooo sad they are canceled!
My husband and I both loved this show. Great plot, great actors, and it’s one of the better shows that are on TV. I’m very disappointed and hope that you reconsider and keep this TV show on !!!!!
I will very much miss this show!! I really loved it!! soooo sad!!
One of my favorite show. Sad to see it go.
