TNT's Rizzoli & Isles: the ladies fighting crime are back, review/giveaway

Usually holiday weekends are spent being outside with family and friends. Whether we hit the pool or bbq outside, the television is usually off. Unfortunately, Saturday on Labor Day weekend was a wash out, which left me in front of the tv. Luckily, I had some great shows to watch to keep me from being bummed out.

One great series that I watched was Rizoli and Isles. Based on the characters created by Tess Gerritsen, these two best friends use their expertise to figure out who done it and how it was done.



Based on characters created by best-selling crime novelist Tess Gerritsen, RIZZOLI and ISLES stars Angie Harmon as Jane Rizzoli, a tough-as-nails Boston police detective, and Sasha Alexander as Maura Isles, a smart, impeccably dressed medical examiner from a privileged background. Despite being complete opposites, the two women share an offbeat chemistry and strong working relationship that has helped them bust some of Boston's most notorious criminals.

Lorraine Bracco stars as Jane's demanding and intrusive mother, Angela. Lee Thompson Young is Detective Barry Frost, Jane's somewhat green partner. Bruce McGill plays Detective Vince Korsak, Jane's seasoned former partner who resents her being paired with Frost. And Jordan Bridges is Jane's brother, Frankie Jr., a patrol cop who hopes one day to become a detective.

Jane and Maura will take on a number of intriguing cases this season, including a murder carried out during a Revolutionary War re-enactment, a killing in a professional baseball team's locker room, a complicated case involving a surrogate mother and a case involving the Salem witch trials. Jane will also face the return of serial killer Charles Hoyt (Michael Massee - Flash Forward), who takes a special joy in tormenting her.

Among the guest stars lined up for the second season of RIZZOLI and ISLES are Ernie Hudson (Oz, Ghostbusters) as Frost's father, a Navy admiral; Matthew Del Negro (United States of Tara, Parenthood) as a mechanic who catches Maura's eye; and Bill O'Reilly (The O'Reilly Factor) as a potential murder suspect.

What I liked about Rizzoli and Isles is that the characters stay true to the original Tess Gerritsen books. The stories are full of intrigue and suspense without being too far fetched. Also, I love television series with strong women. Rizzoli and Isles has been added to my DVR favorites list.
