But they lost me when Castle and Beckett separated after their marriage.
Right, there can be no drama without romantic tension. They could have done a lot with "She's an active cop, he's a writer/PI, their duties get in each other's way, but they still love each other." Lots of wackiness that Castle had in the beginning--I loved the weird cases with the weird characters--with some shared drama, but they got lost in Beckett's Mom and What Will Beckett Do With Her Life? Heck, even Beckett trying to fit into the life of the wife of a famous man and relating to Alexis and Martha.
Instead we get missing time and separations and conspiracies. Sigh It used to be so good.
Still is on MOTW (so to speak) eps.
I always wonder how many defense attorneys say "Much of the investigation was conducted with the help of an untrained civilian, we challenge everything Richard Castle was involved in." Which is why these shows depend on confessions or a dead perp, but I'd love to see a couple of trials. Wasn't there a trial in one of the recent seasons? I've stopped watching.
There was a Bones episode where the perp refused to confess and there wasn't enough physical evidence to make a good case, and Booth was telling Bones that even though the odds of conviction were low, the family knew the truth. It was very refreshing.
I just caught up with last week's Elementary, and John Noble is scary as shit without doing anything other than sitting in a chair.
It's too bad his role on Sleepy Hollow kind of degenerated over S2, because he was legit scary in S1. But he's more than made up for it in Elementary.
Also, Joan is really getting in over her head and I worry.

It doesn't matter, because her wardrobe is fabulous.
That is true.
I would really like Ginger to drop in and tell me how prevalent allergies to mountain lions are.
Random: this week's episode of
Grantchester
is the only episode of
Mystery
to ever make me cry.
Oh wow, sumi! I haven't caught up, and I also missed the first two episodes of this season- they aren't on pbs.org anymore. I has a sad. But episode 3 made me cry.
Also, the two show I have been catching up on have been Happy Valley and Grantchester, which feature James Norton as two very different people.
Random: this week's episode of Grantchester is the only episode of Mystery to ever make me cry.
It was a very difficult episode this week. Especially right after Call the Midwife. Very teary Sunday evening.
I also missed the first two episodes of Grantchester - and caught up with episodes 3 & 4.
Happy Valley is on Netflix, right?
