Main review: 

I'm not normally into the crime drama tv series that much but i though i would give this series a chance , low & behold the pilot episode got me hooked ive love the series ever since.
This series has a good balance are crime drama as well as a blend of comedy which make this a brilliant series , which is a a little odd but in a good way.

The whole series revolves around the writer Richard castle played by Nathan Fillion who a bit of a joker kind of get on Kate Beckett nerves (Stana Katic ) but in a funny way as castle is writing a book on her with a character called Nicky heat, though out the season you see their relationship go through there up & down as there friendship blossom's.

This is one of many Tv series ive actually enjoyed watching & one series i reconmend if you haven't yet watched any of the season. its not only funny at time but its very entertaining for with drama. Stana Katic & Nathan Fillion have great on screen chemistry which is why this series is so good & funny special when castle is a playing mood the scene are just funny.

I've gotta admit i dont know why i didnt watch this series sooner , although this is funny its not a series for your younger viewers as some episode have alot of bloody crime scene & people getting shot, as well a sex scenes which adds to the flare of the series theme.

Sex & Nudity: No nudity. Some sexual references in some episodes. Talks about rape and sexual assault. There is one sex scene in an episode in the first season however it is not explicit at all.


Violence & Gore: Sometimes, some bloody images are shown and some violence shown. Nothing too graphic

Profanity : Infrequent uses of bitch, slut, ass, bastard, damn, and hell.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Sometimes, drinking and smoking shown.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: Some bloody images maybe too intense for children. And some episodes may frighten them too

What i love about this series is the way castle use's his writing skill to help the police solve crime's in the clever way , this is what make castle character brilliant some what funny at time along with Kate Beckett who has a very dark family past that come to light after years which puts a strain not only on her but on her friendship with castle.
This adds the drama of the series which is actually worth watching,  Stana Katic is beautiful, but not so much that you wonder why she is a cop and not some goddess on an Italian beach like so many actresses tend to be.

She plays her part brilliantly , and the scene she has with Fillon when he, as Castle is peeling away her layers is amazing. She barely gives anything away until the very last moment, but with her facial expressions you know it's coming making her character all the more wonderful.

Nathan Fillion is wonderful as the successful, charismatic, and egocentric Pop mystery writer who seems to be not a drunk and is a loving, attentive father apparently who also has an intriguing backstory with his publisher/ex-wife which I hope is a back story they continue to develop throughout the series.

If there is any series you should watch its this series brilliant from episode to episode through season to season if you love the crime drama's with a comedy side as well this is a series i reconmend watching, special if you a Nathan Fillion fan.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 9 out of 10 for drama & comedy

The Magicians

I've just stumbled apoun this new series called the magicians which is a new syfy channel series i assume, as to which is based on the trilogy books by Lev Grossman.

it got my interest peak with the use of magic the plot After being recruited to a secretive academy, a group of students discover that the magic they read about as children is very real and more dangerous than they ever imagined. But will getting hooked on the thrill of magic distract them from honing their powers when they need them most?

Now think of the film hogwarts with harry potter but in a more modern day collage that you go to but this collage teaches magic & is hidden from the out side world. Now your think ok so this is just another x-men magic teaching series......that what i thought until i started watch it.

Its a little slow to start with introducing you to the main characters of the series, then it start to get weird but cool you see students doing a magical stuff with their gifts, which it great because you get this brilliant C.G.I visual effects. Now you thinking that this is just going to be light comedic story telling series.....you thinking well thats just boring why watch if it just going to be that way?

Well straight off in the first episode i can tell you this is no ordinary series, what ive seen so far is there is a era of destiny with the main character in this series with a twist, but this is no light comedic series hell no this has a very dark concept.

I have watch the full first series but this has some potential to be a good series if it hasn't been cancelled. If you like harry potter this is more of a up to date modern day harry potter with a very dark concept in magic that is actually worth checking out, im surprised they have made a film out of it .

Rating: 7.8 out of 10  

Shadow Hunters: The mortal instruments

For anyone that has watched the film Mortal instruments city of bone will understand this story very well, this is a series based on that very film, where the story continues only in a different storyline names shadow hunters. the plot is that Clary Fray is a normal teenager living in Brooklyn with her mother. One day, she discovers that she is descended from a line of Shadowhunters; humans born with angelic blood that fight to protect our world from demons. After her mother is kidnapped, Clary must team up with these Shadowhunters: Jace, Alec and Isabelle and her best friend Simon on a quest to find her mother and recover her past.

The only problem your gonna get is alot of bad reviews from whinny people that dont like anything new & compare this to the twilight film's which is a light harsh & stupid, but that is their opinion & not fact, Apoun watching this series yes it has a slightly weak start but i do see alot of potential in this series.
Like the film which i actually enjoyed watching this following the concept very closely in the war between the shadow hunters & demons that want to destroy the world. in a real world concept were vampire warlock, demon are real hiding in the shadow world on the humans where no mondain can see them. So far the series did start off a little weak in it plot but i see a good series start from this story. So this is worth checking out if you have watched the film or read the books.
