Pass it on
Rizzoli & Isles
56Watch it awake.
Real work, a real friendship, and a murder every week. Not a comfort show, whatever the poster promises.
The review
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.
Journal
Keep Rizzoli & Isles in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 56. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Dalgliesh
68 instead of 56
Dalgliesh is still a drama show, and it scores 68 instead of 56. What you gain is piety: A poet's attention to the soul.
The eight
- 8Industry
A cop and a doctor. Both of them are good at the job.
- 6Household
Jane's loud family is a household. Maura's is a wound.
- 3Piety
The dead are evidence. Little else is treated as sacred.
- 7Courage
They go into rooms other people leave.
- 6Republic
The city is the client. The work is public.
- 4Temperance
TV-14. The bodies are the point of the science, and the show enjoys the reveal.
- 7Truth
An autopsy is a refusal to let a death stay a story.
- 4Stewardship
Skill handed from one woman to the next. Also a habit of looking at slaughter.
