Castle is brilliant. Beckett is a tough, streetwise cop. On a lot of those "an outsider/consultant tags along with the police" shows, you start to wonder how the cops solved cases on their own. Monk and Mentalist are a lot like that. The cops stand around while the expert wanders around and closes the case.
But Beckett? No. You always get the feeling Beckett would have gotten to it eventually, when she's not the one stumping Castle with her revelations. There's a reason he picked her to shadow. She's tough, sensitive, and awesome. She shows emotion without sacrificing a drop of strength and she shows you that she earned her position as the head detective.
I think you'll really like Castle. Every character works. My biggest fear was the fact that Castle lives with his mother and his teenage daughter, and I was afraid they'd be show-killers. But they are so perfect, and his daughter is brilliant. I forget she's only 16 sometimes. Loooooove her.
Give it a shot, I think you'll like it. :D
As for Legend of The Seeker, I watched bits and pieces of an episode because I had to write a Cara/Kahlan drabble. I may have to check out more of it! Kahlan is supremely hot. And I know Cara locked lips with Charisma Carpenter, which is enough to convince me it's worth a look. ;-D
