Rizzoli & Isles: Season 1
Description
Tough & smart. Edgy & humorous. Rizzoli & Isles. Angie
Harmon and Sasha Alexander star as combative, working-class Boston detective
Jane Rizzoli and cool, cerebral medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles in an
exciting police procedural with a compelling point of view, based on the
bestselling novels by Tess Gerritsen. The two women have each other’s backs as
they investigate their city’s grittiest and most puzzling homicides, from the
Back Bay to back alleys. The high-caliber supporting cast includes Lorraine
Bracco (The Sopranos) as Jane’s overprotective mom. Some best friends shop
together, some meet for Mojitos, some join book clubs. Rizzoli and Isles bust
crime. 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
