Talk about grrrl power! Rizzoli & Isles features the best two-woman crime-solving duo since Cagney & Lacey--supported by terrific writing and outside-the-box cases. Angie Harmon has never been better, as the tough Boston detective Jane Rizzoli. Her partner in crime (solving) is the equally impressive Sasha Alexander as Dr. Maura Isles, the by-the-books medical examiner who always has Rizzoli's back, but is often appalled at the cop's hard-charging tough-Boston-girl approach. Rizzoli & Isles is based on the series of popular mysteries by Tess Gerritsen, and adapted faithfully and engagingly for TV viewers. One thing that sets Rizzoli & Isles apart from the average police procedural is its crisp direction and subtle writing; even the most die-hard cop-show viewer will be engaged and surprised by the plots' twists and turns. And then there's the acting. Harmon has harnessed her dramatic chops and uses them perfectly as Rizzoli, and Alexander is both ideal sidekick and sometime foil as she tries to steer Rizzoli to follow the rules. The key in any double-starring series is chemistry, and Harmon and Alexander have it in spades--their sparring and intellectual one-upmanship are completely believable. The cases in season one are varied, though focus mostly on serial killers, with one particularly gripping case flashing back to the notorious Boston Strangler case. The first season of Rizzoli & Isles features two great behind-the-scenes features, one with series creator Janet Tamaro on how she adapted the Gerritsen books, and another with the cast and crew about the making of the series. There's also a hilarious gag reel that shows just how much fun everyone is really having on the set. A must for crime-show buffs and fans of great actresses heading their own series. --A.T. Hurley

A new twist on an old concept,
This review is from: Rizzoli & Isles: Complete First Season (DVD)
There so many cop shows on the tv that they all seem to blend together, but not this one! The relationship between Rizzoli & Isles is confusing and unique and is what makes this cop show different. Not your typical pair, they do seem to get the job done. If you are an Angie Harmon or Sasha Alexander fan you will see a new side to both of them. I can't wait for season 2!

Great Show,

This review is from: Rizzoli & Isles: Complete First Season (DVD)
Rizzoli and Isles lives up to the hype that preceded its release. It is an interesting combination with Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander, both bright, strong, women dedicated to their work and yet having unique personalities. The puzzles are good, the acting is excellent, and in spite of the nature of the show a procedural) it is a nice balance of serious and light. A buddies show that does not disappoint.

Best new show, crime or otherwise, on TV right now. The books the show is based on are fantastic as well.
