You don't get it.
Yes, it makes very subtle fun of Castle, but is a completely other animal; here the protagonist is like a blind dog, who finds a bone now and then on pure luck, while all other "consulting detective" shows have a consultant who really has a skill to bring to the table.
And for it being a Canadian show... so what? It's beautifully shot, doesn't have an overdose of action, and has a relaxed pacing. The actors are very good chosen in their roles, and Jerry O'Connel gives his character a boyish charm that let him get away with a lot of stupid things. It is even referred to by other characters.
Overall a very likable show, which I hope gets at least one season more.
