Does anyone here like the TV series Castle? It is about a mystery writer who kills off his main character, Derrick Storm, that has made him a house hold name and a lot of money. He is at first being investigated by a female homicide detective, Kate Beckett, because there has been a murder where the body was staged just like a scene from one of his books. He is cleared but assists the detective hunt down the killer when more people show up dead and posed from other death scenes in his books. They finally find the real killer and you think this is the end of the writer and the homicide detective's relationship. Richard Castle, the writer, is trying to find his next big series and decides that he will write one about a NY City female homicide detective solving cases. He then talks with the Mayor, who he has on speed dial, and gets permission to follow Detective Beckett around to her very dislike. She is a fan of his from his Derrick Storm books but will never let him know, he finds out anyway, and she thinks he acts to much like a 12 year old. He has 2 reasons for following her around like a sick puppy. One is to get research for his new series and two, he has the hots for her. The show shows them working together and solving crimes. He has all these connections that helps out due to other research he has done for other books and he writes the books by the end of the season. These books are then sold at national bookstore chains as if he really wrote them. It has Natan Fillion's pic on the back of the books with him in the character of Richard Castle. The show continues to follow the two and watch them get close to consimating a relationship only to have a wrench thrown in to keep them a part. I really love this show. It is a modern noir and the main character has a love for the past. He even bought a bar that he wrote his first book in and his mother told him he ought to call it Rick's Cafe Americain and he even thought about calling it Castleblanca as a play on his name and because he loved the movie Casablanca. He eventually kept the same name that the bar already had because of the nastalgia of the bar and the writers that have come out of this bar throughout the past. The show also has him playing cards with other mystery writers such as James Patterson and Stephen Cannell. Cannell just passed away and on the show they leave an empty chair at the poker table for a year before they can invite a new player to officially join them in memory of Cannell. Cannell was one of the writers of the show from what I understand. It is a great dramedy.
