It's not too often I get jazzed about a TV show, but I have to say, I'm pretty excited about Castle. I knew from the pre-season previews I had to check it out. I mean, come on, it's about an author. For those of you haven't treated yourself to this Monday night show, here's the premise:
Rick Castle, best-selling author of murder mysteries, shadows NYPD homicide detective Kate Beckett for inspiration for his current protagonist. Along the way, Castle helps solve crimes and is a thorn in the side to Beckett, who's forced by the mayor to put up with his presence. Add Castle's sweet, responsible teenaged daughter and a flightly actress mother, and the show has a well-rounded and entertaining cast.
Now, does the show have some plausibility problems? Well, yeah, I admit it would be helpful if they showed the guy, uh, writing every now and then. But with the witty humor, charming personalities, fast-paced suspense, and loads of tension between Castle and Beckett, hey, I'll get over the plausibility issues. It's my must see show of the week. You might give it a try tonight.
Also interesting, the book Castle supposedly wrote on the show, "Heat Wave", is now an actual book by "Rick Castle" and is on the NYT best-seller list. What a genius marketing move!
What are your can't miss shows of the season?
