Full disclosure: I would watch Nathan Fillion read the phone book. I LOVE Nathan. Which explains why I watched this show for so long against all good sense.
The first 3 seasons were great. Sure the murder-of-the-week was predictable and usually far fetched. But Fillion's performance as Playboy crime writer but loving father and son was a delight.
Then from season 4 onwards the show should've changed it's name from "Castle" to "Beckett". The show lost its sense of humour and replaced it with wildly stupid situations that Beckett and Castle got themselves in. The number of times Esposito and Ryan had to look for the duo because they went missing was ridiculous. It also became all about Beckett's emotional road to recovery which was BORING as F.
Beckett's mother's murder conspiracy dragged on for FAR too long and was way too complicated. And don't even get me started on Castle's father.
