cable duct news
If “The Glades” is ‘sunny with a chance of homicide,” as A&E bills it, then TNT’s new “Rizzoli & Isles” is gloomy with a chance of gore. Except when it’s not.
Based on a series of my cable duct stery novels by Tess Gerritsen, “Rizzoli & Isles” is built around a pair of female crime fighters. Angie Harmon is Boston detective Jane Rizzoli; Sasha Alexander is Dr. Maura Isles, the medical examiner with whom cable duct Rizzoli frequently works.
The women are also best friends cable trunking, executive producer Janet Tamaro says, although in the opener (inspired by Gerritsen’s first “R&I” book, “The Surgeon”) their cable trunking friendship may still be in the early stages.
The series opens with a grim scene — a man, bound with duct tape; a woman crying pitifully. When Rizzoli, escaping her abrasive plastic trunking, in-your-face Boston family, arrives at the scene, the man is dead, his throat cut, while the woman is missing.
The murder’s method reminds Rizzoli of a case from her past, involving a serial killer known as the Surgeon. He’s still locked up, though; could he somehow have an apprentice?
“Rizzoli & Isles” also features Bruce McGill as Rizzoli’s former partner, Lee Thompson Young as her new one and Lorraine Bracco as her unbearable mother. Although the crime scenes can be overly graphic and thus hard to watch, it’s the family scenes that are truly painful. No more, please.
