Not Your Typical Crime Drama
Posted on May 24, 2009 | 2 Comments
The new drama Castle puts a spin on the increasingly tired crime genre: it follows prolific but incredibly bored crime novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), who starts investigating real crimes for inspiration when he teams up with stunning New York City detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic)…
…Fillion, perhaps best known for his work on Joss Whedon’s series Firefly, is the drawcard here: his chemistry with Katic is snappy, effortless and already bubbling with unresolved sexual tension. Naturally, Castle and Beckett butt heads as they investigate the case — she wants him out from under her feet — but it’s pretty obvious they’ll end up sharing a bed, assuming the series stays on the air that long.
The premise is a bit different from your typical crime drama, though the rest of the series adheres to the rules of the format: the team investigates, there’s a twist, the killer’s identity is revealed amid a dramatic climax.

Yes! I agree. Writers have avoided a happily-antagonistic couple getting together so long that Castle can corner the market. Soon other networks will be jealous and want their own fiery pairs who aren’t afraid to openly care about each other without all that love triangle booshwa.
