RIZZOLI & ISLES

The subject matter warrants much more grittiness than cable tv will allow.  That's a shame because the plot is strong enough to make a tension-wracked feature ala SEVEN.  I love how the serial killer Hoyt escapes to track down Rizzoli.

Sasha Alexander has nice moments.  She's one to watch out for.  Angie Harmon does a good job but I still would have cast a different actress in this role.   Bruce McGill is good as always as is Lorraine Bracco. 

Too bad this is a procedural.  It would be thrilling if the series could be one long extended case.  Rizzoli could spend the entire season trying to put Hoyt away, growing more fearful as he gets closer and closer to her.
