- TriviaWhen Maura tells Jane that she might "move to Maine and write mystery novels", she is referring to Tess Gerritsen, the author of the novels on which "Rizzoli and Isles" is based.
- GoofsOften, when Det. Jane Rizzoli pulls her pistol, there is an audible sound of the hammer being cocked. However, her sidearm is a Glock 19, which does not have an external hammer; the only way to cock the internal hammer (called a "striker") is to move the entire slide rearward.

Angie & Sasha - Two thumbs up right there
I've had a crush on Angie Harmon ever since I first saw her in 'Good Advice'. Not my usual type (in the words of George Burns: too tall); but she has amazing eyes and I could listen to her talk all day. Teamed up with Sasha Alexander, the best thing from NCIS, they make a great pair.
Of course the show itself could have been awful, but thankfully it isn't; and I'm settling into the world of tough lady cop with a busybody ma (a great cameo for Lorraine Bracco) and her borderline-Asperger pathologist friend like a comfy chair. I'm also glad I haven't read the books, so I don't have any expectations of what it "should" be like - Angie's "TV family" are just fine for me, and it's a nice change to have a series set in Bahston instead of SoCal or Florida.
The other regulars (Bruce McGill - who I've always liked - Leigh Thompson Young and Jordan Bridges) fit into their slots seamlessly, and add some nice depth to the proceedings. The writing is also well above average, with great touches of humour, and enough incidental stuff outside the main storyline to let you feel you're getting to know the characters.
I certainly hope I don't put the kiss of death on it by saying I'm a big fan; but I'll definitely be watching it for as long as it's around.
9/10
