Castle - Season 5 [DVD]

I love Castle, was hooked from episode one, series one and as the television station were sooooooooo slow in televising the first and second series, I bought them, then, of course, I simply had to have Series 3 and Series 4 and no way was I getting left behind so Series 5 found its way through my letter box. The acting is superb, they all obviously have a whale of a time do them. The relationships are complicated, the murders bizarre and the humour is fantastic. All in all, one of the best series to come across the pond and I really am getting impatient for Series 6. Never disappoints.

I absolutely love this show - it's one of my favourites at the moment! I love the humour (Castle has the best lines!) mixed in with the more serious story lines. There are a couple of darker episodes this series which are among my all time faves (Target & Hunt) and Nathon Fillion gets top marks for his acting in these episodes!The chemistry between Beckett and Castle is still brilliant - I love their relationship. And the stories are still fresh and exciting. Can't wait for season 6!

A keen Castle fan here, I've just started to read the books! (Yes, you they do exist. Check out Amazon for them.)As my title says, what's not to love about this great comedic/drama series.Some great casting and stories. Including the developing situation between Castle and Beckett (the lovely Stana Katic).But, don't forget the others, who I think help make show what it is. Especially Beckett's colleagues Esposito and Ryan. A brilliantly matched pair of actors that portray their parts well and have, I believe, the potential for their own series.Sit back, forget the worlds troubles, sit back and enjoy!

I'm a big fan of Castle - it's great fun and the episodes are always interesting. However, I am starting to feel the episodes are becoming very similar (hence the dropping of a star)... but I still recommend it if you've seen previous seasons.

Nathan Fillion and Stata Kanic play the play the parts of the 2 main characters with absolute brilliance, I was completely hooked on the series from day one, after watching the first 2 series was sat at home wondering when season 3 would be screened so when I went onto the Amazon site to look for the first 2 seasons on dvd I was ecstatic to find a boxed set of seasons 1-4, ( I have now watched all 4 seasons several times and it does not lose its likeability, I was left feeling that it could not end like this and that there must be at least 1 more season so I was really happy to see that number 5 was being shot this year, and even happier to find that I could purchase the dvd for this in November of 2013 I am eagerly looking forward to being able to sit down and watch this, I do hope that the writer and the company who produce Castle feel that there is more they can do after 5 it would be a shame not to carry on with more of the superb story lines that we have already seen and more of Nathan, and Stata as Castle and Beckett the character of Castle is for me joint No 1 with Gibbs from NCIS, and Beckett is No 1 in my top three with No 2 Megan Hunt (Body of Proof), and Ziva David (NCIS)lets have more of this quality of both writing and acting for the small screen.

I have been an avid follower of Castle and Beckett since it first aired on ALIBI.in 2011. I have seen every episode, and bought Seasons 1 thru 4 from Amazon US. Season 5 I bought through i-tunes and have done the same with season 6 and will watch ep2 Dreamworld tomorrow morning. I will still buy this DVD to keep even though I still have it on i tunes. The chemistry between Nathan & Stana is unbelievable you have to listen very carefully to catch all the sub text. The whole cast are a joy to watch and so obviously enjoy what they do. It is a an amazing tribute to Andrew Marlowe - the Creator, and Chuck Bowman the senior director and everybody associated with it. Castle has also written 4 Books in the Nikki Heat Series with a 5th due out soon,will be o Amazon, and out for Kindle probably in February. Last if you want to see the cast letting their hair down there are 2 DVD`s available on Amazon where the cast and others answer questions from the their US fans. They are `Castle at The Paley Centre` in LA 2010 and 2012. They`re on Amazon. They will be there again this year and the tickets sold out in 5 minutes

The first episode is exceptional and the rest most enjoyable. It has already been on TV but it was worth watching the first one again because it completes what has gone before as well as setting up the overall background plot for the rest. Now I just need to work out which season we are up to on TV to able to continue and avoid the rubbish and repeats that the normal channels put out.

I've really enjoyed the previous four series of Castle but to be honest I'm pleased this one is coming to an end. The 24 episodes spread across six discs should really have been about 18 episodes. There are some really weak stories here which tarnish the brand. We actually fast forwarded one episode (bomb in apartment) to get through it, it was SO bad. Ryan and Esposito have really come to the fore in this series, the story where Ryan goes back undercover being one of the best.I'm finding Castle's mother and daughter increasingly irritating and irrelevant. Also getting increasingly uncomfortable about the lack of representation of 'people of colour' (is that the PC term?) and absence of gay people in a series set in a cosmopolitan city like New York. Despite these shortcomings I can see us buying series six. Fingers crossed.
