This show should really be titled “Beckett” because it is really about the growth of Beckett.
Castle is a classic case of a show overstaying its welcome. The first few seasons were great and it went downhill quick after that. The eighth season was horrible and the ending to the series was a joke -- the end of the seventh season was actually a pretty good end for the series, but they had to go on and that just ruined in.
A little too clever for its own good.
There's really not much in the sense of a season-long serialized story. But, the humor, action and buddy schtick is enough to keep me coming back for more episodes.
It's unfortunate that this show was so uneven through it's run. The first, third and fourth seasons were fairly entertaining. The second was merely okay. What was sad was that the fifth/last season was so weak.
I can see why this series was canceled. This last season was not good at all. Turning Lightman into more of a curmudgeon and making him unlikable really did not help the show at all. There were quite a few episodes where they recycled ideas from previous seasons. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was what they would have done with Michael B. Jordan's character. It almost seemed like they were getting that character ready for a larger role in the next season.
Still a great show, but this third season lacks the magic of the first two. The main thing that drags it down is that the character House has changed in a subtle but impactful way — and not a good way. In the first two seasons, while he was a jerk on the outside, there was always a feeling that he still cared about people. In this season, that caring is gone and he is just a jerk all around.
This season was a stark contrast to the previous seasons. It got more serious and less funny. The big thing I noticed about this was the new composer for the score that went more serious and less playful. That’s not a bad thing though. The last half of the season with the introduction of Agent Riley nearly ruined the season though. Her motives were too vague and unbelievable, which made the latter part of this season weak.
Much better than the first season, but still a bit rough in the middle section. I did like this season a lot though.
An uneven season that got pretty dark. When the show was firing on all pistons, it was quite a thrill ride. There were some lulls, but the good outweighed the bad this season.
A much better season than the first -- maybe because the writers and everyone involved knew that the show would not continue. Starting with episode four of this season, things got really great and the velocity of the show increased tremendously -- making the show so easy to binge. I am glad that I stuck it out through the first season and the first part of the second season.
What a fun season. I love seeing a show about a non-super powered superhero.
This first season started out so strong, but lost it's way in last few episodes before redeeming itself in the finale. The season finale is actually a logical ending for the show itself. I don't know if I will return for a second season if they produce one.
A fun season. Enough fun to make it enjoyable and to help me overlook some clunkiness about the season.

A surprise discovery. I love this show.
While not as good as the fantastic first season, this second season was still entertaining. The cameo by Amy Schumer was a complete misfire and a distraction that didn’t need to be in the season. The casting of Cara Delevingne was not the greatest either, she doesn’t fit in with the vibe of the show. Paul Rudd on the other hand was great. I look forward to next season.
I love the Build Team and was saddened when they were cut from the Mythbusters. So, I was very happy to see them on a new show. The positives first: This show is educational while being fun. I learned quite a few things from the show. Kari, Tory and Grant are as charismatic as ever and are fun hosts to watch. Now the not so good: The format of the show is not the greatest -- taking six things related to a central theme down a "rabbit hole" and then ranking them based on arbitrary metrics.
I still hope they get a second season and if they do, I hope they tweak the format of the show a little.
A long meandering and unfocused season. This should have never been ten episodes long and should have been much much shorter given the amount of filler episodes.
Starts off with the best episode and then is very uneven throughout the rest of the season — leaning more on the “meh” than on the good.
Not as great as the first season. They weren’t able to recapture the magic in this season.
This was my surprise summer series. I loved the series, it was fun, funny and I looked forward to each episode. I am sad that they won't get another season, but it was quite a fun ride while it lasted.
Hey, it's Iron Chef and that's awesome.
Fun and entertaining movie that left me with a smile. Anne Hathaway absolutely knocks it out of the park in the film and is the best thing in the film. This movie makes for a good addition to the Ocean's franchise.
This show was completely unnecessary. There were two Mandalorian episodes wedged in there that were good, other than that I could have done without this show.
Started out strong, dragged on for a bit, had a great penultimate episode and then failed to stick the landing.
Entertaining film, especially when the film gets to the island. Whoever cast Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft is a genius, she's perfect for the role. Walton Goggins chews scenery every time he is onscreen and is a joy to watch.
Please let this have been a mini-series and be done with it. After watching this season, it is clear this show was not necessary. Please Disney, don’t make a season two.
More entertaining than I thought it would be when I randomly started watching the pilot. JCVD is a great sport in making this statire of himself.
Outside of a speed bump in the fifth episode, this was a fantastic season!
Mobile Moo Shu pronouncing bulgogo "bul-gaw-gee"... Sigh.
