High 'yuk' factor in 'Pick Up Artist' episode

Generally like Castle as I work through Disney Plus, but this episode shows that times have changed ingthe decade-and-a-half since Castle was doing that 'murder can be funny' schtick.

The whole 'pick up artist (PUA)' phenomenon - men 'collecting' women (or 'hotties' as they get labelled in this) to sleep with(remember that terrible Will Smith film?)- was a staple in cop shows, but this is particularly cringey.

The PUA in this gets murdered ('Hooray'), but he's left behind a book with pictures and short bios of his hundreds of 'conquests,' which include the fiancée of 'nice guy' minor detective character Ryan. That this was considered witty & suitable for 'banter' shows Castle's age. It's just really unpleasant sexist misogyny.

There are better shows in this watchable series - yet this one is the only one I've bothered to review as it's just...wrong. The fact they didn't notice rather condemns it.

Trivia
Ryan's fiancée Jenny is portrayed by Seamus Dever's actual wife.

Goofs
When Lainie mentions that the victim had been poisoned with colchicine, Castle mentions that it is a drug used to treat rheumatism. The most common condition treated with colchicine is gout, not rheumatism. Colchicine is also used in plant breeding; treatment of seedlings with a colchicine solution doubles the chromosomes and enhances various characteristics of the plant; however, the treated plants are poisonous; only the succeeding generations are safe for consumption. An episode of Quincy, M.E. (1976) featured a plot centered around stolen marijuana plants that had been treated with colchicine to increase their potency, becoming lethal to anyone who smoked them.

Quotes
Lanie Parish: I ran a DNA test just to confirm that Superman here had sex before dying.
Kate Beckett: No, that's okay, our suspect...
Lanie Parish: Let me finish! The test shows he had sex all right. With *two* different women, within hours of his death.
Richard Castle: [to the corpse] You dog.
