(That ad-supported qualification = darn you, HBO!)
If anyone deserved her own TNT sassy crimesolving show, its Angie Harmon.
(Angie Harmon in baseball shorts flirting angrily with Donnie Wahlberg…thisis why we watch television.)
Thing is,Bonesslowly turned into a romantic comedy after starting out serious.
Its hard to hit whimsy right out of the gate.
Also not helping matters: the Boston ofRizzoli & Islesis perhaps the most inauthentic portrayal of Boston ever.
The few actors who actually attempt an accent fall victim tothe Chris Nashawaty Theory of Baaahhhston Accents.
Also, everyone is Irish, and every case requires five visits to an Irish pub.
Dennis Lehane this aint.
(Like this throaway: Thats the first problem.
His mom named him Sandy.)
But Im skeptical, because the two biggest problems with the show are right the title.
What do you think ofRizzoli & Isles, PopWatchers?
Would the show be better if Jill Hennessy were playing Isles?
