Rizzoli and Isles

[RobertPlantFan]

I checked out this new detective program and liked it pretty well. It's based on books by Tess Gerritsen, but I haven't read any of them. In this first episode Angie Harmon (as Rizzoli) kind of carries the show. The rest of the characters are a little pale. But I think a few more episodes might rectify that. In an interview article, it says that the Isles character is a bit darker in the books and I think they need to bring that out in the series as well. I'm an Angie Harmon fan so I'll certainly watch it again.

I was just on twitter last night saying, ok I know I've read this somewhere, so I did a google search.  I knew I recognized the names, but when they had the first murder scene, I was like, ok, I know I've read this. I didn't know who wrote them, but i knew somebody did.

They were good books, and the series was well done, but Maura Isles is so far nothing like the book. Nothing. Like. The. Book. She was almost obsessed, and certainly weirder than Sasha Alexander is playing her. Attractive, but with a MUCH darker edge, and a touch of crazy to her.

We'll see how it goes. So far I'm liking it.
