Any Rizzoli & Isles fans?

[SecretSquirrels]

I've just discovered this series and have a girl crush on Angie Harmon. Not keen on Tess Gerritson's books as they are a little gory for me, but I love the characters and the humour in the tv series.

Yes Yes Yes!!

I absolutely love it!

Loved the books and didn't think the series would live up to it, but it does!

Me! Not read the books but really enjoying the series. Loving seeing Maura as I remember her from her days as Kate in NCIS.

Love it - Angie Harmon is divine. I also prefer to the books as they are fantastically gory, I haven't been able to get back into reading that kinda stuff since ds was born (nearly 7 years ago!). The whole wake-in-costume thing last week was truly random, if hilarious, though.

Ooh where?! I've been looking for it as I've got the books!

Does anyone download it and has therefore seen the season 2 finale?!

Dilly - it's on Alibi on a Thursday.

MilkNo - I am downloading it from iTunes so only at the speed of Alibi, we're on episode 6.

Me too :)

Missed last week though as the sky box died, have a new box now so hopefully I can get back into it.

Ooh I love this show, I've seen both series. I am so in love with Angie Harmon, she's almost not real she's so gorgeous. I like the way the Jane and Maura actually have a genuine friendship and that they have families and lives outside of their work. It's funny too :)

Thanks tribpot :)

Dilly - we're on S2, looks as if S1 hasn't been released in Region 2 format yet (although is available on iTunes) - the R1 DVD is available through Amazon for example.

Had a look on iTunes for the first series as missed all of that. £2.49 each episode? Seems a bit steep, are they usually that price? Never bought tv stuff off there before.

£2.49 an episode does seem a lot. Can't believe I've missed a whole season, where have I been?!

I thought I was the only one with a massive crush on Rizzoli! Although it was dampened slightly when I found out that Angie Harmon is a massive supporter of the Republican party and backs Sarah Palin. Oh well, thats what I get for the crush leading me to Wikipedia...

£2.49 is the price for HD, the standard eps are £1.89. Surprisingly, iTunes makes it a little hard to find this out! Whole series is usually cheaper than the cost per ep as well, will post more from my laptop later.

I love the books but can't hack the series. The character's just so aren't how I imagined them to be.

I fear th hunger games film will be similar

Non-HD series 1.

Anybody who read the books think the actresses are the wrong way around?

I did exactly the same thing bungalow! From what I've read about her she comes across as a proper idiot. I still think she is just amazingly gorgeous though.

Isn't maura supposed to ne the queen of the dead? She doesn't look or act much like it in the series.

I think it's a bit like Bones, the characters from the book have only been treated as a jumping off point for the TV series, it isn't a serialisation of the books at all. I agree, TV Rizzoli is absolutely nothing like book Rizzoli, and TV Maura is a lot warmer than book Maura.

They also have a different relationship then in the books, much closer on tv

I actually re read the books after watching some of the shows and enjoyed them even more as I could put a face/voice to the characters iygwim
