An Evening with Castle

Equal parts The Thin Man and McMillan and Wife but with a twenty-first century vibe all its own, ABC’s Castle is a comedy-drama about a mystery novelist (Nathan Fillion) and an NYPD detective (Stana Katic) who bicker and banter their way through all kinds of bizarre murders that need to be solved. Now in its second season, the series has earned a devoted following on account of the compelling, quirky way in which each episode unfolds—and because of the irresistible appeal of its stars.
