Rizzoli and Isles Season 2 DVD available May 22
I love a good cop show! I love shows with intriguing interpersonal relationships and I love a show that has STRONG female leads. Soooo, naturally I love Rizzoli and Isles. Strong females, lots of great friendship dialogue and a good mystery in every show. Maura (Shasha Alexandra) and Jane (Angie Harmon) are the perfect duo and are perfect for each other.
After a few shows I was hooked. I couldn’t wait to see how Rizzoli’s family would get involved in the next mystery or would she find the right man? Would they be able to deal with their differences as they join together to battle the odds of the latest mystery/murder/mayhem?
One of the memorable episodes was Seventeen Ain’t So Sweet. Jane decides to take Maura to her high school reunion and while there, the two are called on to solve a series of murders–and all leads point to fellow students as the prime suspects. Jane has to come to terms with her past and she is able to use those past experiences to help her solve the mystery/case. Of course, the story line based on the works of Tess Gerritsen, helps all of us learn a lesson. There have been a few times when my past has helped me get through a hard situation.
Once when I was in high school, I went on a cross-country trip with a busload of friends. For some reason I thought that listening to a friend and following along after her was more important than listening to our leader. Peer pressure, thinking she was better than me, I could go on and on. I followed sheepishly and we missed getting on the bus after a lunch break. Imagine the horror! I was in the middle of downtown Colorado Springs and had no clue what to do! Without a cell phone and without a point of reference, we were able to catch a cab and meet our group at the next stop, a few miles away. Later, I found myself in a similar situation, only this time I was a leader on a long bus trip. Instead of ‘hoping’ everyone would check their watch and get back in time….I remembered my torturous 2 hours as a 16-year-old and never left from a stop without first counting to make sure everyone was back. I wanted to make sure that no one was lead astray in an unknown city. Not as dramatic as the life lessons and memories that Jane had to relive, but a lesson learned nonetheless. Going to a reunion is not as fun as it seems. Jane has to face some old memories, relive peer pressure, face down the ‘cool’ kid factor and solve the case. I’m not a fan of reunions, especially seeing all she had to face!
If you are a fan of Rizzoli and Isles, good news! The Season 2 DVD is available for pre-order here: http://bit.ly/ISlEkF (5/22)
