    Remember Castle? It was a great show. Whiskey Cavelier remembers. A goofy but cunning older guy, a shrewd and passionate badass lady-cop and a whole ton of fun sexual tension kept that show watchable for 8 awesome seasons.

    With Whiskey Cavalier I'm tapping out after episode 3. The show has tried to capture the feeing of Castle but with a twist, bad writing and unlikable charachters. The three main leads are fine and have a good chemistry but tack on a socially awkward and inherently unlikable duo of support staff and shoehorn them into every scene formulaically and you have a recipe for disaster. It's like getting spinach sprinkled on your ice cream.

    The psycologist charachter has a dour and negative comment in literally every scene she's cast in and the gadget guy feels like the guy who nobody invited to the party but showed up anyway trying to seem cool.

    Even were we to overlook these two "turds in the punchbowl" the dialog between the two leads is forced, cheesy and unsubtle.

    Overall this show is not fun, its a dour slog. The pilot was okay and the second episode was almost as good, with the third episode I've realized there's not enough here to like to justify my time.    … Expand

    Whiskey Cavalier has an appealingly daft streak of sophomoric loopiness.

    As sleek as it is silly, Whiskey goes down smoothly if pure escapism is your tonic of choice. [4-17 Mar 2019, p.11]

    Foley, Cohan and the supporting cast members need not unduly worry whether their adventures are all that plausible. What matters is whether this show is fun to watch regardless. Which it is.
