Castle (TV Series) Boom! (2010) User Reviews

A Little Clichéd and Ridiculous

[trevor-mcinsley · 7/10 · 27 May 2010]

Good enough storyline but they take absolutely massive leaps of faith as far as the technology and computer side of it goes. They may as well have replaced it with a guy called 'Merlin' who just happens to be a wizard and solves crime with magic. Or do the FBI have one of those too? Quite predictable towards the end and was just filled with stuff that's been done dozens of times before. It's basically the plot of Speed.

Whilst ultimately entertaining the general plot is probably as stupid as having ten lines of text minimum for a review, I mean there is a limit to how much you can actually say about something without merely rambling...

Why?

Why did the creator allow this list of cliches from annoying trash movies??? Is it serious? The series were ruined. It is totally NOT Castle...

Kate Beckett is no match for Nikki Heat or Jordan Shaw.

Richard Castle solves the puzzle posed at the end of the first part of this two-part show and effectively saves the life of Kate Beckett, the infallible super detective. However it is too much to expect her to be grateful and remember this fact.

Special Agent Jordan Shaw continues her very impressive role, whilst Kate Beckett, the infallible super detective, is her usual selfish, everything must be done her way, self.

The serial killer plot is predictable and conveniently the computer technology makes the task of finding him considerably easier than might ordinarily be the case.

The serial killer continues to interact with Nikki Heat, not Kate Beckett, the infallible super detective. Jordan Shaw is taken hostage by the serial killer and Kate Beckett has to work with Richard Castle to save the day. Richard Castle saves the life of Kate Beckett, the infallible super detective, again and this time she is almost grateful. Kate Beckett quickly forgets these life-saving incidents and promptly returns to ridiculing Richard Castle.

Special Agent Jordan Shaw offers some sage advice to Kate Beckett, the infallible super detective, about Richard Castle, but Kate Beckett is not interested. She offers the extremely clichéd "It's complicated" in reply.

What is not complicated is that Jordan Shaw is the real deal and Kate Beckett, the infallible super detective, is merely a pretender in her company.
