It is hilarious that a show like Castle gathers an eight from the users while the average score from the critics just barely raise it above a five. The gap illustrates the problem with user based reviews: you have a bunch of fanboys that give said show a ten - which is bizarre to say the least - andForgettable

It is hilarious that a show like Castle gathers an eight from the users while the average score from the critics just barely raise it above a five. The gap illustrates the problem with user based reviews: you have a bunch of fanboys that give said show a ten - which is bizarre to say the least - and nobody else gives a hoot. Who is going to comment on a show you do not like, hence do not watch?
Well, I do.
I just saw about twenty minutes of the show by sheer coincidence, and it reminded me of various other moments that I ran into this show. I recall switching channels when the advertisements interrupted and then forgetting all about it.
In this particular episode the killer drugs someone with scopolamine so that person becomes a will less tool that can be used to perpetrate a murder. A murder by proxy, therefore. I wonder why not more murders are committed that way. In fact, we better hush this one up, before you know it, extremists my use this to send us waves of drugged citizens to murder the rest of us.. Why does the Cia not drug the water supplies of the IS and turn them into will less tools?
Perhaps because it is nonsense?
I sat totally baffled at this sheer piece of dribble and waited for the canned laughter to erupt, but none came. In fact, the whole show seems just take this in one serious stride and get on with it. Was it meant to be funny or meant to be serious? It seemed neither: it just came over as nonsense.
The more baffling is that non of the people involved were actually funny. The male lead seems have problems changing his facial expression so it is the same most of the time. Of course he tries to place a funny remark here and there, but it just doesn't feel like it is funny. The female lead is even less convincing: she is there be pretty, flutter her eyes and gape at the smartness of Castle. You see that is why pretty blond women exists in shows. There is little to no chemistry between the two.. if there was meant to be one and thus no engaging dialog.
I watched the show amble along. The main suspect had a watertight alibi and so an trap was planned by Castle(i got a plan, baby. Oh.. Castle you such a smartypants!) The suspect was informed that the guy he had drugged was set free because a rich uncle had put up the bail. This suspect thus feared that the guy he used would come to find him to take revenge.
Oh my god. How can this guy, being smart enough to drug a guy to have him perform a murder, be so stupid as to fall for such an obvious trick?
Again one piece of nonsense was followed by the next and it was somehow meant to be funny.
I get it..
But you know. If something serious is meant to be funny, then it somehow misfires when that serious thing is just sheer nonsense. But if it is sheer nonsense, the cast somehow should act accordingly. Instead nonsense was dealt with a seriousness that belied all funniness.
It is as if the cast wasn't quite aware that is was all baloney.
If that is the case, then that is the biggest joke of all, but I suspect that a more mundane explanation is that this show is hogwash and thus..
Forgettable
In every way,
And forever more
