Product Description
Looking for inspiration, crime novelist Nick Castle becomes a consultant for the New York Police Department and clashes with Detecive Kate Beckett.
One of the best shows to emerge midway through the 2008-2009 TV season, Castle has a cast and a sense of humor that set it apart from the normal police procedural. Nathan Fillion plays Rick Castle, a bestselling author of pulpy crime novels who's called in to assist the New York police when a serial killer begins committing copycat murders based on situations in his books. Castle helps crack the case, then decides to kill off his longtime character and create a new one, named "Nikki Heat," and research her by shadowing Det. Kate Beckett (Stana Katic). Much to her irritation, he pulls strings with the mayor's office to embed himself in the department, and helps her solve a wide range of whodunits, including a woman drowned in a bath tub full of motor oil, another frozen and suspended at a construction site, and a corpse stuck in a clothes dryer. To alleviate the grim proceedings, Fillion is in his element as the wisecracking Castle, while adding another ray of sunshine is Castle's impossibly likeable teenage daughter, Alexis (Molly Quinn), who lives with Castle and his mom (Susan Sullivan), a former Broadway star. Castle's circle of poker buddies includes veteran TV writer-producer Stephen J. Cannell and author James Patterson playing themselves. Like many (or most) he-and-she cop shows, there's an element of "Will they or won't they…?", but the beautiful Katic keeps Castle at bay by radiating cool. Clearly she's a woman who wants to separate herself from her emotionally draining and predominantly male job, so it makes it all the more enjoyable when she momentarily steps out of that mode, such as an impromptu appearance at his book signing. Much to the relief of Fillion fans who feared their man was a show killer after the aborted runs of such shows as Firefly and Drive, Castle was renewed for a second, full season. --David Horiuchi

Same story line as murder she wrote, with sex.
Stupid writer and very stupid police-woman manage crime. Not very good really.

Great entertainment July 30, 2010
Carmen Ferreiro
Castle (Nathan Fillion), first name Rick, is a mystery writer, the kind of writer that spends most of his time plotting how to kill people. By requirement of the script, he's paired, in the pilot episode, with Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), a young, smart and beautiful female detective, and, from there, off they go to solve cases, pushing each other buttons, and creating enough electricity to warrant a second and third season.
Castle may not be the best show on TV, but it's a lot of fun, and, as a writer, I love to share vicariously the fantasy world of an author, so successful he can afford a penthouse apartment in New York City and have the major on his speed dial.
A winner.

Great series. The interaction between Castle and Becket has just enough sexual tension to keep us guessing. I look forward to the next seasons!

All my friends & I enjoy this show. The sexual tension is so thick you couldn't even nick it with an ax. This is one of a very few select shows that I eagerly await the next episode. This show just gets better and better with each episode. By the end of this disc set, you're still wanting more.
