Castle

Castle: We make a pretty good team, you know. Like Starsky and Hutch, Tango and Cash...Turner and Hooch.
Beckett: You know, now that you mention it, you do remind me a little of Hooch.




Synopsis
Castle (Mr Firefly) is a mischievous writer who works with a detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) on solving murder crimes. Castle finds the experience exciting and an inspiration for his novels. She quickly realises that his contacts and a different approach to solving cases, might be an advantage for her. Win:Win


Review
It's also a win for the audience because we get a show that is perfect for making us feel (nothing to be ashamed of) good. The story's filled with easily-to-fall-in-love-with characters, who have great banter. It ain't no 'The Wire'. But it doesn't pretend like it is.

Rick Castle is surrounded by women. He lives with his daughter (Molly C. Quinn) and his mother (Susan Sullivan). They all have fantastic relationship with each other. There are no 'evil mother' cliches, nor does his daughter walks around in skimpy clothes.

And yes, there is a 'do they? don't they?' chemistry with Beckett and Castle. But it's not like she can't live without a guy. As Martha says in one of the episodes, 'Beckett did fine before you came along and she will do just fine, if you leave'.


One might say that the Castle/Beckett relationship has slightly too much mothering involved. Castle does play a role of a man who acts like a little boy when he gets excited. And Beckett is the one who supposed to bring the logic and stability to the table. On the other hand, Beckett addresses this issue in one of the episodes admitting that, with her serious job, she needs a vent. And he is the one who provides it.

To a geek in us, the show has some fun references and even more interesting cameos. Like, Michael Trucco...

*drools*
so, um, what was I? Oh, right, Castle. Fun watch.
