(even though I'm only halfway through season 3 and am horribly behind)
It's adorable and procedural and quirky and gets how to NOT be obnoxious or cringy with geek references and in jokes, and whilst each episode is case-of-the-week, there is also a season arc (or, in the case of Castle, a multi-season arc) that shows up regularly and in interesting ways.
i even wrote fic for it, I like it that much. And I have massive avoidance issues with writing fic for open-canon media sources, so that should tell you something about the ridiculous heart-shaped-eyes it's made me produce
