Definitely more of a '80s crimesolving tv show vibe than a 2000s police procedural.
It's certainly got some parallels to Remington Steele.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yeah, which I think fits better than the Moonlighting one it seems every reviewer seems duty-bound to try to find. I mean, they make each other crazy, but it's much more affectionate than David/Maddie(IMO)

Reading Heat Wave by weekly chapter releases is making me batty. I waited long enough to start that I got the first 7 chapters all at once.
It will be interesting to see how Beckett reacts once she has read it.

They picked up on her knowledge of the modeling world really quick (it went right past Castle)

I figured they'd be following up on that, but I was surprised that Castle didn't pick up on it as well.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Castle and NCIS both used "Strangers on a Train" to solve their cases this past week. Weird coincidence.

I watched "The Good Wife" last night. Liked it a lot...I kind of think it belongs in here due to the courtroom moments, but in some ways it doesn't. Dan's back on TV(well, it's Josh Something...where's he been?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think it's a procedural, despite the inclusion of some investigation.
