Hello everyone,
Aahh ...the famous lines of Sherlok Holmes to his bewildered stalwart, Dr. Watson.....221B Baker Street....with it's magnetic charm that attracted mysteries which required a degree of clairvoyance that a few could ever posses.....nothing seemed to ever escape holmes's eagle eyes......
Or even watching Angela Lansbury play the role of a cherubic retired English teacher, who after being widowed in her early fifties, becomes a very successful mystery writer can be a lot of fun.....Muder She wrote, was loosely based on Agatha Christie's character of Miss Marple..........While the televised episodes of this delightful mystery series aired 2 years before my birth, 25 years later too, it never ceases to catch my attention.
So what is it about the detective drama spiked with comedy- now called dramedy, that makes it so watchable?
A story with a beginning, a middle and an end.....and along the road, comes the twists and turns,the tragedies and the lucky escapes.....all key ingredients of amazing novels as well as televised serials....NCIS, LAW and Order, Shark, CSIS....all provide intriguing plots ... and ofcourse the seamless exhibition of mindboggling technology....but admist all this one particular detective plot has caught my attention and has turned me into a complete addict..
For all ya mystrey lovers out there....have a dekkho at Castle.....a tounge in cheek dramedy about a Type A personality of a lady detective and a charming, womanizing, egotistical and fun loving author turned detective sidekick....and you have the adorable combination of Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion...perhaps a modern take at the Sherlok-Watson duo...It's probably the ying and the yang of both the characters of katic and Fillion that gives a new dynamic to solving mysteries. You see a man's point of view always begs to differ from a woman's point of view..But then didn't Rober Downy Jr. and Jude Law exude male bonding with terrific entertainment of brains and brawns?
