Watchseries; The chemistry between all of the characters is smart, funny, serious, and downright entertaining. Angie Harmon & Sasha Alexander are great as best friends and a good combination of crime solvers by using the skills of thinking like a cop and thinking like a scientist.
Angie Harmon's mom adds lots of humor by showing up in unexpected places/doing unexpected things.
All of the characters play off one another well and work together as a sometimes dysfunctional team that pulls together in the end to solve the task at hand.
It is a twist on your basic crime drama with comedic deference that makes it unusual and fun to watch.

Rizzoli and Isles watchseries. I love this show. It ended far to early for my liking. Fantastic cast and amazing chemistry between them.

I have never been a big fan of "cop shows," however when I saw the promos for this show I decided I had to at least give it a chance. As a lady, I like to see women being strong and respected, and Rizzoli and Isles provides two women who are respected in their fields. Rizzoli (Harmon) is impressive and spot-on with her tough girl,take nothing' from no one, attitude. Isles (Alexander) is genius and sincere. The duo provides both a kick-butt team two best friends trying to live their lives. The characters are totally relatable, which is perhaps how I got pulled into being a fan. Harmon and Alexander make an amazing team and the chemistry and timing is there. I just couldn't see this show working with any other female leads. The supporting cast is excellent as well. I'm telling you, tune in. If you, like me, usually pass on these types of shows,give this one a chance. It just might surprise you. I'm pretty stoked about next season.

As a female lawyer who truly loves the law and everything that has to do with crime and punishment and as a self-proclaimed connoisseur of crime TV, I must write my first review and express how overjoyed I am with this show! I'm already anxious to buy the show on DVD, and I've only seen one episode. If the rest of this season is anything compared to the first episode I know that I can look forward to many more seasons. Rizzoli (Harmon) is believable as the tough girl who honors the law (yet is able to maintain her incredible sexiness at the same time.) And Isles (Sasha) is the fashionista who crazily enough loves her often disgusting job as the medical examiner. (She also brings a lot of the subtle humor with her character's attitude.) I identified with both main characters, found there was enough excitement to keep my attention throughout the entire episode(and enough humor...but not too much) and was left with heightened anticipation until next week.

Rizzoli's mom is into everyone's business way too much. Especially since she shouldn't be involved in police business. And since 2 of her children are cops she should respect that. It seems like she tries to start drama. And she's always telling people they need to grieve. I think it's so they need her shoulder to cry on. I get her being a little nosy or caring. But in my opinion it's way too much. I just think the writers took her need to be needed over the top. It gets annoying even though it's one of my favorite shows.

When I first heard of the new show with both Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander, 1) I was thrilled to see Sasha back on TV and 2) I was worried that Angie Harmon's new character would be like Lindsay Boxer (Women's Murder Club) which bored the crap out of me.
I found the banter between Rizzoli and Isles was quite refreshing. And being a woman myself, I can see that kind of fun, brash, candid talk happening. Both women are strong characters which I love! The chemistry between the two is so obvious it's wonderful.
I loved Sasha in NCIS, but she was shadowed by the men on the show. I LOVE NCIS! But Sasha needed her own and now she's got it along with Angie, this show is strong and stays true to the books. If you don't like strong headed women, you might now like this show.
