Review of Castle

Castle (2009–2016)
6/10
Rick Castle is deeply annoying
4 November 2021
Watching this on Amazon Prime every night and now on the last season. My partner and I were thoroughly enjoying Castle and couldn't wait for the next episode until it dawned on us both around series 6 that we had a problem with the character of Rick Castle himself. Like Booth in Bones he has developed into an interfering, manipulative partner who uses the excuses of being 'worried' and 'wanting to protect' to control the female character. All we now can see is an insecure personality who only wants to be around his girlfriend/wife 24/7 by undermining any choices she makes to which threaten this cosy little set up. If Kate Beckett/Temperance Brennan were the smart, aware and ambitious women as they are portrayed I should think that they would soon feel completely smothered by these demanding, attention seeking men (if I was Beckett I would have taken a court order to ban her annoying husband from the 12th precinct for life!). Whereas I first found Rick Castle amusing now I just want to punch him. It was just the same with the ultimately insufferable Booth.
