The first thing you notice about ‘Rizzoli & Isles,’ a new cop drama in TNT’s cop-drama-heavy schedule, is that you’re just dropped into the middle of the title characters’ world without much of an introduction. “Show, don’t tell” is a maxim that every screenwriter and novelist learns early in their careers; Tess Gerritsen — on whose books this show is based — and Janet Tamaro have followed this maxim almost to the point where there’s no exposition at all.
And, while the concept behind the show — a cop and a coroner who are polar opposites but are best friends and a crack crime solving team — isn’t revolutionary by any means, the show’s leads, Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander, make it work by so thoroughly inhabiting their characters.
