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?
Castle is the best show on tv. The chemistry between the two is fantastic and the dialog is witty and sexy. Please bring this show back next season!
Keep this show – I actually started watching a show again. Enough with all the reality shows… this is real entertainment.
I agree with other two comments, it’s never boring, has all good things going for it, smart,funny and with the crime/mystery drama. very entertaining. The chemistry is great between beckett and castle. I can’t wait for season 2!
PLEASE. PLEASE, PLEASE RENEW CASTLE. I CAN’T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE ENJOYED THE SEASON THAT JUST ENDED LAST NIGHT. IT IS A SHARP, INTELLEGENT AND, FUN SHOW. VERY ENJOYABLE. THE CHARACTERS ARE VERY WITTY AND SHARP AND, THE SHOW IS A PLEASURE TO WATCH. AFTER ALL THE OTHER “CRAP” THAT’S ON THE TELEVISION THIS IS LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO ONE’S MIND AND SENSES. MAYBE THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF PROGRAMING WILL COME TO THEIR SENSES AND PUT SOME GOOD ENTERTAINMENT (SUCH AS CASTLE) ON TELEVISION.
Give us Season 2!!! Nice romantic tension between two starts. Plots are
complex enough to not leave me bored after 10 minutes. Good murder mystery stuff. Sub plots with daughter and mother add good human interest, contemporary life challenge material. I thank you in advance for a second season.
CASTLE is the only program worth watching on Monday nights
Castle is absolutley one of the best shows on tv. I look forward to watching it every single Monday. And with a season finale like this one ABC better not cancel it. The cast is extraordinary( Castle- ism). The writng is incredible. The chemistry between Castle and Beckett is phenomenal. Ten o’ clock does not come quickly enough every Monday. It is the only show on tv that I can watch over and over again and never ever get bored. Please, please, please ABC renew CASTLE!!!!!!!!!
ABC, you kill CASTLE and i’ll kill you!!JK! but please don’t kill Castle, it is one amazing show! T he best part of it is that the audience is so versatile, the audience ranges from females AND males. We get the romance and the thriller/suspense. The show offers a lot and with LOST coming to an end next season, I NEED something to entertain me, preferably Castle!=)
This series is just a SHOW!

Please for the love of god don’t cancel this show. I finally found something on TV I like. Cheers did bad at first. Look how that ended. Give castle some time. There is nothing like it on TV. It has a little bit of everyhing.
Love it!
Castle is my new favorite show. I hope I doesn’t get cancelled. This show is the one I look forward to every week. It is a great combination of cop drama and comedy.
Love this show! Hooked from the very 1st episode! Banter between Castle and Kate is so great! Between Castle and Mom – OH MY Mom is the perfect DIVA! Of course, the daughter who is much more maturer than her Dad and Grandmother! What a new twist on relationships. Maybe Monday night is not the night for the show. It is up against the eye (CBS) with CSI Maimi. The cliff hanger is having someone shot (believe Castle) so if the show is to be chanced, at least have the decency to have closurer. I want to know will they… Read more »
