If you don't watch Castle you should be ashamed of yourself

Castle!

This is one of the best new shows ever. Aside from the fact that the main character, Richard Castle, is played by Nathan Fillion (that's Mal from Firefly), the show is impeccably written as if tailored to amuse writers. The basic plot of the show is that someone starts killing people using the scenes from Castle's books, and then Castle himself is called in on the case to assist Detective Beckett in finding the perpetrator. After helping with the first case, Castle then finagles his way into being a consultant with the NYPD to research his next book.

What makes this show so amazing is that Nathan Fillion is an extraordinary actor and he plays this part and makes Castle both incredibly likable and incredibly frustrating, making the interplay between Castle and Beckett all the more entertaining. All of the main supporting characters, including Castle's mother and daughter, are well fleshed out and great sources of humor. The show is very funny as well as clever and not entirely predictable. There hasn't been a show yet where I haven't laughed so loud I had to rewind a bit to catch the next piece of dialog.

Castle is on ABC on Monday nights at 10:00. I love the show and you probably will too. Check it out!
