I love this show. I love it that Nathan is back! I liked him as the badass in Buffy, but Firefly sealed the fandeal. Castle would have had a whole 'nuther atmosphere and tone to it with another actor in the lead. Are those one liners his or the writers? He's a likeable, comfortable presence as an actor who can pull off what could have been an annoying prick character and turn it into something much more charming. The character is loveable because of the way he plays it. Very watchable and entertaining.

The overall casting has been very good. I have loved watching Susan Sullivan in so many things going back decades. It's great to see her having fun with her role. I usually hate child actors as the parts are usually cloyingly precocious. I don't mind the daughter character although her know-it-all-ness has the Wesley (ST-TNG) HATE potential if they put her on too much. The female cop is not a bland, just pick a Hollywood blonde, any blonde they all look alike so that helps. Her acting? I can't say much for it now but she seems a good foil for the loveable guy.

I love the mystery part of it. I couldn't articulate exactly why but I think y'all have said it: it explains the logic of how it gets from point A to point B. It lets us figure it out with the characters. Sadly, knowing my history with shows I love look for it to be a quickly ending series. I hope not but that seems to be my track record. That or the show's writing turns to shit. I hope not. This is the only ABC show I watch.
