ji8464 I used to like this show, the first couple of seasons were really enjoyable but it has been on a steady decline since then. I know nothing about the books that this show is based on but I hope that they are nothing like they are portrayed here.The main characters are getting more and more condescending with each episode. If I met any of these people in real life I would be in jail for assault.As is the norm for all TV cop dramas, all cases are solved by the most basic intuition and in no time, I also find it impossible to believe that every medical examiner in a TV crime show is so multi talented that they not only perform autopsies with unbelievable accuracy but the are crime scene investigators, can find every piece of evidence in two seconds at the crime scene and can all psycho analyse everyone. ME's don't go to crime scenes ever. don't script writers get that.ALso what is getting worse is the side characters, how could anyone ever put up with Rizzoli's mother, her children are adults and have been successful in what they do why would they allow her to be so interfering, she really is infuriating.Also all the drama and suspense has gone out of the show, it is like a crime show for teenagers or even adolescents with its so vanilla crimes and lack of chills.Anyway I will probably stagger through the final season in the hope that maybe one of the main characters gets killed or something At least it would make it interesting.

bjarias Came across this one late, several years late. But thought it would be worth a try cause it kept popping up on several 'best' lists. Well after just a few episodes, just can't take any more. It's across the board... casting is the first culprit. There are a couple main characters that just don't work (IMHO), and once you have the advantage of looking and seeing they're around for the entire series, you know issues with them will more than likely continue. Next the story-line and script dialogue are very weak for a show that's half-dozen seasons long to date. And the overall acting is very suspect... probably a combination of factors leading to all the sub-par performances. And you figure there's always the chance they'll get it right later on.. but skipping several seasons forward you find the same issues continuing. Unfortunate.. the two leads deserved better... but it's still going, and there's for sure a loyal following that just might keep it around another season or two.

kathaleenprewitt The show would be a 10 if we could understand Angie Harmon. What is going on with this new season of shows. Everyone is mumbling important words. Angie Harmon did not talk this way when the show first came on. I have been watching from the first show. Please do better with her talk. This show will greatly miss Lee Thompson Young. A little more shows could be devoted to his death. All in all I love the show. All the cast are great actors and actresses. Are there any other shows that Sasha Alexander appear in or in the past? Does Angie Harmon have personal trainer for her body looks really good . Does she have a special diet to stay so slim?

swthrt525 This show captures all ends of the spectrum! It's rare that a show pulls you into its characters like this one does. After just one episode you will find yourself drawn to Jane and Maura, and you'll want to actually be friends with them. (I *may* have taken that obsession to an extreme when I started a blog dedicated to Rizzoli & Isles > http://rizzisles.blogspot.com/p/rizzisles-posts-by-topic.html -- but that's a testament to how powerful this show is.)In any given episode expect to be pulled in to a unique crime story, intrigued by the science and methods used to solve the case, laugh at the banter between Rizzoli and Isles (like only true best friends can), and want to reach into your TV and hug them as they support each other in all of life's adventures. Their friendship is very true to adult women: they are tender and tough, they mock each other while still maintaining a very obvious respect for one another, they protect each other to any extent necessary, and they have a very tangible intimacy in a way that only platonic females can. It is definitely worth watching and getting at least as fractionally invested in it as I am!
