And today I am already 36 years old, and I rewatched the series for the 10th time - I still smiled and laughed, and my eyes were wet at some moments. After so many years and so many revisits, the series gives a whole spectrum of emotions! A masterpiece of screenwriting and acting, " - Azam.

"I really regret having put off watching this series for so long, as it is delightful! It's been a long time since I've had one to 'go head over heels' into something! All the actors seem like they were made to play their characters", — lensherxavier.

"I will truly miss this wonderful series very much. I have grown so fond of all the characters that I truly don't know how I will go on without them. The gorgeous Castle played by Nathan Fillion, the insanely sweet and fair Beckett played by Stana Katic, Castle's mom, Alexis, Ryan and Esposito, they all made me happy throughout the entire time I was watching", — fominsque.

"Castle is a marvelous series that will always resonate in your soul with something beautiful, kind and funny. A series that knows how to lift your spirits with banter and wonderful humor. A series with wonderful main characters - I'm not just talking about Beckett and Castle, but the entire inner circle. But what a disgusting ending, just no words", — vampironok666.

"I think it's one of the best shows I've seen in years. And that's with the amount of content that's being produced right now. Here the creators knew exactly how they were going to end their story, so the story feels cohesive, and as they say, they treated the source material with reverence, adding Jacqueline's character to the series and making a more complete ending. The series is unique in style, presentation, manner of narration, such grotesque series still need to be found. Nothing is stretched, there are no filler series, gradually built up the quality of the series itself, from graphics to scenery and acting, which can be seen in contrast to the first and third season. Came out on top neatly by the finale", — Eclipse12.

"I enjoyed the screen adaptation. Excellent selection of actors, costumes, sets, unrivaled performance of Neil Patrick Harris made a really decent and quality series. I will miss it and will most likely rewatch it in a couple years", — Radiovolna.

"The series is unbelievably good! It is beautiful!!! I haven't stopped marveling throughout all three seasons. It's funny and sad at the same time, there's a lot to think about. I haven't seen such great writing in a very long time, all the actors are great", — Firefly2012.
