Castle (TV Series)

"The two episodes previewed pivot largely on the strength of the cases, whose twists certainly don't break new ground (though it is nice to see Keir Dullea in a guest role)" 

"The trouble with 'Castle' is that it's just so completely fluffy - which is annoying" 

"Viewers who stumble into this misbegotten 'Moonlighting' imitation will likely be bored, too, but not because of too much success" 

"Given that the love-hate scenario between Beckett and Castle is fairly predictable, 'Castle’s' success may ride on the quality of its murder mysteries, and it’s encouraging that the show’s second episode is better than the first" 

"[It's not] likely to keep you up at night puzzling out the intricacies of the mystery, but they won't bore you or insult your intelligence. 'Castle' exists to exploit the appeal of its stars and the amusing byplay between their characters, and it does that with admirable efficiency (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"Yes, it is all kind of dopey and has that 'been there/ done that' feel. But Fillion is so right for the part and carries the show so well that he makes the show more fun than it deserves for an otherwise by-the-book procedural (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
