Castle - One Of My Favorite Shows

What could a new police and detective series possibly have to keep our interest? For one thing, Nathan Fillion is the title star, playing Richard Castle. Can this really be the same person who played Dr.Pomattor in Waitress? Not doubt it is the same person who played Captain Hammer in 'Dr. Horrible's Sing Along'. But this new Phillip Marlowe infuses Castle with the right mixture of wit, mystery, and comedic relief. Women who are fans of the genre will find a lot to admire as well. The heroine of the show is detective Kate Beckett, portrayed by actress Stana Katic. A veteran of supporting roles, Katic now joins Fillion in center stage. Add to that Castle's daughter, Alexis (Molly C. Quinn), and his mother, Martha Heath (Susan Sullivan) and a police force filled with well-portrayed supporting actors.

But the best interest-riveting force is the writing. The pilot was well done by Andrew W. Marlowe, Barry Schindel, David Grae and Charles Murray. I didn't think they could sustain the twist and turns, fascinating crimes, and interaction between the characters for much longer. I was mistaken.

Driving the show is the tension filled drama between the two lead characters, Castle and Beckett. He is a popular author who has been permitted to keep an eye on Beckett, despite her misgivings. Although he often gets in the way, speaks out of turn, and manages to be annoying, he also redeems himself. Slowly, Beckett is learning to have faith in Castle, including his risk-taking, and finds herself caring more and more about him. He also endears himself to Beckett's colleagues with small gestures like purchasing a top-notch coffeemaker for their use.

Castle's mom and daughter are both full of contrasting elements. His mom acts immature, has entitlement issues and needs to be seen. Wise beyond her age, the daughter holds her grandmother in line and provides a lot of support for her father. As a devoted father, Castle can't help buy show concern about his daughter, even though she's fully capable of taking care of herself. She is one of the best actors in the series. She could spend a long time in the spotlight witch such strong talent.

Castle is easily one of my favorite shows. Hopefully it will have many more seasons. I'm especially excited about upcoming shows because I just ordered the Comcast HD Triple Play. A short time ago, I finally got my own HDTV so soon I will be able to relax watch all of me favorite TV shows like Castle in high-def sound and picture. I found a terrific plan online where I can bundle Digital Cable, High Speed Internet, and one-price Digital Voice into a single, easy-to-pay, inexpensive plan. I might be most excited about High Speed broadband from Comcast. My old DSL line was way too slow to watch online video or listen to music. That won't be an issue now. Now I don't have to deal with minute by minute charges, due to Comcast Digital Voice. I can talk to whoever I want, local or long distance, anywhere in the country and only have one low bill. Don't wait! Check out the current deals available to customers who can purchase Comcast services. I don't know how long they'll last!
