Banter over a body. Light, and that is the problem as much as the pleasure.
Richard Castle is rich, blocked, and amused by a job that costs other people sleep. Kate Beckett is the correction: a woman who does the work. The series is pleasant because of her and because of his daughter, and it is morally light because a corpse is the occasion for a nickname. You can relax in it and notice, if you are honest, that you are relaxing in a morgue.
Adults, as comfort, rarely. Not a show to hand someone as a picture of the work. If you watch, notice which of them you would actually want answering the door.

Thank someone whose job is other people's worst day, and do not ask them to entertain you about it.

She is a real detective. He is playing at it, and the show finds him delightful.

Death is the cold open, not a weight.

Murder as a weekly entertainment, softened by jokes.

A daughter watching her father choose a serious woman is the part that could last.
