Castle (TV Series) The Human Factor (2013) User Reviews

Another unusual episode

[Oddelg · 8/10 · 7 May 2013]

This is an unpredictable episode. With a car exploding in the streets of New York, NYPD has to work on the case with a lack of material and resources because the FBI are taking the case. Why? They don't know. Until later, of course.

Castle has changed. The show, not the character. Most of the latest episodes are not like Castle used to be. Maybe they have gotten a much more Hollywood-ish director that loves clichés? That is what has happened. Maybe the producers think that their fans don't like the old-school Castle, so they have to boost it up with bombs and non-stop excitement?

The last episode was a bit like what I just described. This episode was a little more Castle-ish, but still a bit more Hollywood than usual. A case that the Precinct can't access from the government and work underneath the radar. An overall good episode but a little too more of unrealistic excitement and Hollywood-clichés. 8/10.

Secret handshake

[kjonesmobile · 7/10 · 30 August 2019]

34m 38s to 41s into the show.

Castle, Espo and Kate are waking down the precinct main thoroughfare. A man passes to Castles right.

They shake hands on the way by one another. No acknowledgement.

What conspiracy can we attribute to this?

There's just too many unbelievable things

[aqueckboerner · 4/10 · 17 July 2021]

There is no way the New York police department will continue investigating a crime that the federal government takes over. Those orders should have came from Beckett's supervisor who got her orders from higher up. And the attorney General certainly would not have called back it directly but would have called her upper chain of command. This episode just has so many holes in it. Can't they come up with just a simple case they need to solve?

Writers Took The Worst Out of Feds, Military!

[ShelbyTMItchell · 7 May 2013]

Seems like the liberal media wants to really make both the feds and to a lesser extent the US military look like villains and bad people.

As a military drone and not originally a car bomb that took the life of a whistle blower. As the Homeland Security seals off the crime scene and won't take answers from the NYPD.

As that won't stop Kate and Rick from trying to find out the truth and do the right thing. And get justice for the victim. As the feds stonewall them along with the military.

Despite a agent from the US Attorney General's office played by "24" Carlos Bernard. As he had a personality and really was the only decent member of the feds. And provided a job offer for Kate as he asks about her future.

But the writers of the show took the worst and really made the feds and military look like thugs. As liberal Hollywood loves to make them feel like the bad guys.

Other than that, it was a pretty good episode. As loved it when Kate messed with Rick's toys in bed! Ryan really solved the case but Bernard's character had Kate took the credit, which was pretty wrong.
