Rizzoli & Isles was a disappointment. I wish they'd kept to the light banter and bad ass action that make a good cop show rather than dwelling on sadistic killers and horrific violence. The Silence of the Lambs thing is not going to work on weeknight television. At least not for me, my love of Clarice Starling notwithstanding. There were, however, some positive points. The "faintly lesbian undertones" were more than faint. Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles touch each other a lot and mention the possibility of their attraction. Also, the show has Angie Harmon, who is still a stone cold fox. Though I agree with Ginia Bellafante in The New York Times that it's just implausible that no one on the show seems to recognize Harmon's striking beauty. They kind of treat her like she's Peppermint Patty—who, in my opinion, was also a fox.
