Rizzoli & Isles Season 4
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I own every episode. This is a buy item, no rent, good enough to watch several times over. Finally a US cop show on the level of all the great Brit stuff. Hope it runs for a decade. Tess Garritsen is the novel author behind the beginning of “Rozzoli & Isles” as well as credited for writing the series. Jane Tamaro is producer and writer of the series. That’s a combo as good as the two female leads. Women’s ability in the acting and creative areas are making this one of the best shows on TV/DVD from America.
A super fantastic cop show taking place in the alleys, parking garages, streets, and fine places of beautiful Boston. But the crime is as ugly as the city is beautiful. And speaking of beauty, the 2 protagonists are hot. Angie Harmon plays Det. Jane Rozzoli the tough, sexy, sometimes sweet, sometimes funny murder investigator who takes on some bad boys and gets herself into dire straights. She has the scars to prove it, but the figure of a goddess. Her partner in crime, solving that is, comes in Medical Examiner Dr. Maura Isles, played by the equally gorgeous Sasha Alexander. She’s loaded with nerdy trivia, which annoys Rozzoli, but gets the job done. She has nerves of iron and also injects many comic moments. It’s a fine balancing act of suspense and comedy in a mystery crime show that works great.
Other cast members come into their own in different episodes. It is a series that has created a fine cast that quickly feels like family. Everyone has a history with a bit of a dark side as well as some fine personal moments. Lorraine Bracco is Ma Rozzoli, a generation older but yet a looker and doer. Her son Frankie Jr. (Jordan Bridges) is a Boston foot cop. Two other members of the murder squad are Det. Frost (Lee Thompson Young) who hates gore and Det. Korsak (Bruce McGill) older and wiser. They all appear each episode and play an important role.

I wondered after Season 3 if the writers could keep bringing sufficient depth to the story lines to keep my interest in S4. It didn’t take many episodes for me to know the writers sure can! I actually enjoyed this season more than S3 primarily because the cases they have to solve continue to be involved and Jane and Maura’s relationship grows stronger.
There is a wonderful chemistry between these two career women: one the Boston cop (Jane) and the other a forensic medico (Maura). They share their lives and families with each other in a way that I admire. The writers continue to pressure the friendship which helps increase it’s depth.
The support cast add colour and vitality to both the girls friendship and case load.
I can’t wait for season 5.

Since we have ditched cable, this is the one show I really miss from TNT. It is nice to be able to watch the shows whenever I want, and while I would prefer to have it on instant video, so I wouldn’t have to store the discs, this is much less expensive for some reason. There aren’t as many episodes on a season as I would like, but I guess all shows are going to less shows each year. Overall, I am happy with this purchase, and would recommend it to anyone who likes a “who done it”.
