No offense to his New Kids On The Block gig but, the man is a decent actor and should definitely keep working that particular side of his talent. The supporting cast is wonderful as well and it's awesome to see the uber talented Donnie Wahlberg back in front of cameras where he belongs. You could actually picture Harmon as a cop because she conveys it so well. What makes this work is the great chemistry between the two female leads, who come across as believable in their roles without sacrificing appearances too much. She plays Isles with just the right amount of nerdy quirkiness to make the character endearing and brilliant, without crossing over into annoying know-it-all territory. Sasha Alexander is a wonderful breath of fresh air as Maura Isles, the science and medicine half of this dynamic duo. I can't rave enough about the casting of Angie Harmon as the tough-talking but occasionally insecure police detective Jane Rizzoli, who's driving ambition and outer roughness bely a compassionate individual who's trying to do the right thing, no matter what. It rolls right along with well written story lines and nice touches of humor here and there to lighten up what could be a very dark premise.
That being said, I'm glad I chose to ignore the critics (as usual) and give this new cop drama a shot. The previews that TNT used initially weren't overly interesting and some of the critics gave this new show mediocre ratings.
