CASTLE

Castle is a mystery cum comedy cum drama,starring Nathan Fillion(Firefly) in the title role.

Rick Castle is a famous mystery novelist who is suffering from writers block after killing off the main character of his novels,in his last novel.He is contacted by NYPD,to assist them in solving a copycat serial killer case.There he meets Detective Kate Beckett(Stana Katic)and immediately decides to make her the main character of his next novel.He uses his connections with the mayor,allowing him to accompany Beckett while investigating cases.

This is a light hearted show.It's not very graphic and has ample doses of comedy in each episode.Each episode deals with someone's murder.At the same time a romantic attraction develops between the two leads but nothing concrete happens.Infact, the show is at the end of it's third season and still nothing conclusive has happened on the romance front.Both are attracted to each other but they never fully express their feelings to each other.Castle has a teenage daughter,Alexis(Molly Quinn) who is extremely intelligent and probably more responsible than her father.Castle's mother Martha Rodgers(Susan Sullivan) also lives with him.She is an off and on actress.Other characters on board are Rueben Santiago Hudson as Beckett's chief,Jon Huertas as Esposito,a police detective,his parter detective Kevin Ryan(Seamus Deaver) and Tamala Jones as Dr Lanie Parish,the poloce medical examiner.

It is a fun family show.Castle has recently been renewed for a fourth season.

My rating for the show is 7/10.
