Castle - The Tension Filled Drama!

How could our attention be maintained by another new police/detective show? First, Richard Castle is played by the talented Nathan Fillion. Is it possible this is the person who portrayed Dr.Pomattor in Adrienne Shelley's Waitress? It's also possible you recognize Nathan from the internet musical 'Dr. Horrible's Sing Along' by Joss Whedon, the creator of the cult sci-fi series 'Firefly', also starring Fillion. Like the great fictional detectives of the past, Castle uses a mix of comedy, romance, and whodunit to craft an engaging story arc that will keep you watching. Women who are fans of the genre will find a lot to admire as well. The lead detective, Kate Beckett, is played by the actress Stana Katic. She can be seen in cameos for a variety of programs but she now headlines a show of her own - deservedly I might add. 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. Andrew W. Marlowe, Barry Schindel, David Grae, and Charles Murray did a great job with the pilot. After the first show was apprehensive that the writers could keep the intermix of comedy and complex crime stories going for an entire season. I have been wrong.

Driving the show is the tension filled drama between the two lead characters, Castle and Beckett. Much to her disdain, Castle is given permission to follow Beckett. Castle redeems himself with Beckett even though he often gets in the way, speaks out of turn and manages to be annoying. Beckett can't help but grow to care about Castle as she learns to value his insights and appreciate the risks he takes to crack cases. 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 mother is immature, takes advantage, and bears watching. The young girl is wiser than her age would suggest, supportive of her father, limiting the power of her grandma. Castle is a dedicated dad who frets without reason (so far) for Alexis. As Castle's daughter Alexis, Molly C. Quinn has the best acting abilities on the program. Given her youth she should have a long career.

Castle is easily one of my favorite shows. I hope it will run for a long time. I'm especially excited about upcoming shows because I just ordered the Comcast HD Triple Play. I have come to believe that HDTV is the best way to view all my favorite television shows like Castle, and I look forward to the increased sound and picture quality. I discovered an unbeatable deal online that lets me bundle all three digital services offered by Comcast, Digital Cable, Digital Phone, and High Speed Internet, into a low monthly bill. Beyond Digital Cable with HD, I can't wait to try out my new broadband internet service from Comcast. The ancient DSL connection I had was so unpredictable and slow I couldn't watch any videos online or listen to great new music. Now, this will no longer be a problem. Now I don't have to deal with minute by minute charges, due to Comcast Digital Voice. I can call local and long distance nationwide to who ever I like for one low bill. Don't wait! Check out the current deals available to customers who can purchase Comcast services. Look into them today before these special promos come to an end.
