I didn't like Castle at first. The thing where the mayor pressured Beckett into letting Castle follow her around made me uncomfortable to the point where I had to stop after the first two episodes.

But.

I've now caught some of the episodes from the middle of the second season.

Beckett is rocking strong, and other than the political pressure which led to the basic premise of the show, can't be pushed into anything.

I love the relationship between Castle and his daughter (much much much better than the one between whatsisname and whatsername in Lie to Me).

The law enforcement officers Have Clue, at least as much as there is clue on TV -- no Bobbsey Twins/Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys syndrome, where the non-policemen always solved the case, but only because the law enforcement officers are SO STUPID

I'm finding the show and characters charming and funny.

So I'm working my way backwards and catching up to some older episodes from the second season -- I will still likely skip most of the first.

I've only caught bits and pieces of this show (basically because it's on a channel that I never watch, and I only flip to it during commercial breaks) and I don't really get what's going on. All I know is that I HATE THE WOMAN'S HAIR. D:

Yeah, I need to get back into Castle. I just never make time to watch TV! The Season One DVDs will be under our tree this Christmas; I found them half price last week. :)

I love Castle! (as is the case usually if I watch the whole availability of a show within a week's time)

I feel like Beckett chose to let it seem like she was pressured into letting Castle follow her around because she didn't want to admit that she's okay with it. Otherwise she would have pushed and ultimately had her way.
