Rizzoli and Isles

[Donna, Co-Moderator]

Did anyone see last night's new season opener?

[Diane S ☔]

Yes I did and actually have Gerristens new book also, though I haven't read this yet? Did you like it, the mom and dad divorce thing kind of surprised me but I do love how bossy Maura is.

[Susan]

I saw the season opener and enjoyed it. The mom and dad divorce thing surprised me too.

[Fiona (Titch)]

The UK are getting it today. Alibi @ 10pm on channels (Sky 132) and (Virgin 130)

[Jennifer]

I have only seen one episode of the show, but I love Angie harmon so I bought the 1st book in the series - The Surgeon. I loved it!! Excellent mystery with a medical twist!

[Martha]

I love the series. Have read one or two of the books and remember liking them.

[Jannene]

I've read 2 of the series so far and started on the 3rd. I love them as well. I always record my TV show too. ;)

[☕️Kimberly]

I haven't misses an episode and i enjoy them. I have read all of Tess's work.

[Barbara]

I've not missed an episode of the series (love Angie Harmon). Didn't realize the series was based on novels until I watched it. So, am working my way through the books. Up to
Tess Gerritsen
I actually like the relationship between them better in the series than the books so far. They seem much closer friends. Maybe that changes (don't tell me!) as the books progress. Looking forward to them all. But I'm alternating between R&I and Myron Bolitar (up to)

Harlan Coben
and Presidental Agent (up to)
W.E.B. Griffin
You people have done a number on my TBR list.

the books are sooooo much better and the storyline is different!

I had felt the same way. I'm reading "The Sinner" right now and they don't seem as close in the book. The looks do not seem right either. Maura has black hair and in the show she has brown and not in goth wardrobe as in the book.

[Barbara]

Yeah, everytime they talk about Maura in the book I think of Abby on NCIS. And they don't portray Jane as particularly attractive -- so NOT Angie Harmon. But that would have never worked for TV.

[Batsap]

Ooh, I didn't know there was a R&I TV series, I shall have to look it out. I only have the freeview channels though, bah.

I've read the first two books in the series and enjoyed them. Now I'm trying to find The Sinner.

But if Isles isn't all gothed up, that kind of sucks, because that's my favourite thing about her character.

[Barbara]

Not sure if it's on in the UK. It's on TNT in the states. Sasha Anderson plays Isles if you know that name.

That is exactly how I picture her! Just like Abby with a tattoo, goth boots, and a dog collar. ;)

In the UK it's on tuesday on alibi at 10pm, 3rd episode this week.

[Barbara]

Glad you found it. It's good.

[Curlyhair]

I'm watching this now in the UK and love it.

[Chris]

I have started watching this too, and it's good so far. I don't watch much TV, but it was nice to sit on the sofa with my feet up and a cuppa on Tuesday night!

[Carrie]

Sometimes I think the silly humor is at odds with the serious homicide story, but for the most part it works. Plus, the cast is so enjoyable. I like the new story line of Rizzoli's boyfriend having spinal surgery.

[Scout]

Not a great series, but I watch when I want light entertainment.

[[deleted user]]

I missed a few episodes. Hope to catch up when it's on indemand.

[Katherine]

Does anyone know when the series is starting up again?
