Rizzoli & Isles
56Or leave it.Not an average of critics. Eight questions, one house.
Real work, a real friendship, and a murder every week. Not a comfort show, whatever the poster promises.
The glance
Piety, Temperance, Stewardship are the thin ones.
This phone
Set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
After the credits
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
The friendship is the reason anyone stays: two competent women who tell each other the truth in a city that would rather they smile. The case is the reason to be careful. Every episode needs a new way to die, and a thirteen-year-old does not need a new way to die on a Sunday morning.
If she is already three seasons in, do not pretend you can unread it. Watch one with her and talk about the work, not the wound. Do not start it fresh.

The eight
Industry
8/10
A cop and a doctor. Both of them are good at the job.
Household
6/10
Jane's loud family is a household. Maura's is a wound.
Piety
3/10
The dead are evidence. Little else is treated as sacred.
Courage
7/10
They go into rooms other people leave.
Republic
6/10
The city is the client. The work is public.
Temperance
4/10
TV-14. The bodies are the point of the science, and the show enjoys the reveal.
Truth
7/10
An autopsy is a refusal to let a death stay a story.
Stewardship
4/10
Skill handed from one woman to the next. Also a habit of looking at slaughter.
