Nathan Fillion is starring in a new mystery show on ABC. “Castle” premieres March 9 (http://castletv.net/). Fillion plays a mystery writer who ends up helping a police detective solve crimes. Looks like light fun mystery, instead of grim morbid mystery. Yes, there’s still plenty o’ murder, but the focus is on the catching of the criminal, not the commission of the crime. Someday I must try to put down my theory of fictional callousness, whereby some stories full of murder are morbid and depressing, and others full of just as much murder are light and cheerful. This looks like the latter type. Bonus: cameos by actual mystery writers at Castle’s weekly poker game. Worth a try, anyway.
