Castle is a one hour witty drama based on a famous crime and horror novelist who helps the NYPD homicide department solve crimes. Richard Rick Castle (Nathan Fillion), a rock star of the literary world, is suffering from a case of writers block after killing off the main character in his novels and is struggling to come up with a replacement. Castle had grown weary of having it all, fame, fans and females , when he was approached by the attractive Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) of the NYPD to help catch the copy-cat killer staging murders based on scenes from his novels. Castle is not a traditional investigator and his approach to solving the crimes conflicts with Beckett s conservative approach leading to much tension and a hint of romance. Keeping Castle grounded are his mother (Susan Sullivan), teenage daughter Alexis (Molly C. Quinn), poker playing friends James Patterson, Sue Grafton, and Stephen King and his ex-wife Gina (Monet Mazur) who is also his editor.This three disc collection includes all 10 episodes from The Complete First Season of Castle!
