Castle

I don’t know if you guys have seen Castle (other than Connie, I know you’ve talked about it at least once before – unless I’m going completely crazy… which is possible), but I have to tell you. It is awesome.

It took me ages to watch it. Mostly because my backlog of “things I need to watch” is looking more and more like an ocean of Netflix streaming…. But! I caved a month or two ago because I found and watched the first episode on Youtube and was immediately hooked. We bought all three available seasons within a week of that initial watching.

The best part about Castle, was getting our in the building friends into it as well (which meant getting to watch it again in that lovely – painful – mid-season break). Natalie had the same reaction as I did, which was basically a high pitched squeal that was some amalgamation of OMG and Nathan Fillion’s name. Because, really, the show doesn’t need anything but him… and somehow it manages to go above and beyond with the infusion of a whole cast of realistic and lovable characters.

Now that we’re all caught up, having to wait until the next weeks episode is a bit of a pain. Mostly because I want it now (sorry, I had to channel Veruca Salt for a minute there).

 

Why I love the show:

(This is pretty much the same reason I love Eureka) There is not a single character (main or secondary) that I dislike. In fact, I love them all. And that makes fitting their weekly hour into my schedule super easy, because I want to spend time with the characters. The plot lines can be a little predictable, but that doesn’t bother me at all.

Why you should take the time to look into it:

1) The first episode is on Youtube. Go, watch it. If you don’t like it, it’s only cost you an hour of your time.

2) OMGNATHANFILLIONOMG

3) It’s a super fun show and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
