When Rizzoli & Isles was first broadcast, I worked from four in the afternoon to two-thirty in the morning, four days a week. I missed a lot of first run TV for several years. I am now retired and am watching Rizzoli & Isles with a grin on my face.
I like character and dialog driven fiction. The casting was really spot on and the performances of the regular cast never hit any clinkers for me. Five stars from me.
