Rizzoli and Isles came back from hiatus last Tuesday, February 17, with a brand new episode for the winter premiere. The show is in its fifth season and has just been renewed for a season six. This series is about two best friends in a homicide team trying to solve different types of murders, located in Boston, Massachusetts. As seen in the picture below, the two main characters are Angie Harmon (Jane Rizzoli- homicide detective) and Sasha Alexander (Maura Isles- medical examiner).
Rizzoli and Isles is known for the chemistry between the two women and the comedy with all of the characters. The show not only focuses on the crime aspects, but also on the relationships between all of the characters, making it difficult for you not to keep watching. They start out every episode by us, the audience, witnessing a murder and them immediately cut to whatever Jane/Maura is doing. Although the crimes change within every episode, the characters' lives continue to unfold as each episode progresses. What I find extremely fascinating about this show is that it is not just about the crime- it also digs deep into each character's life and reveals who they are.
During the winter premiere on last Tuesday, the episode was a continuum of the 2014 summer finale where Jane jumps off of a bridge to save the life of a key witness to her case. The show has never had two episodes for one murder, so it was really interesting how they did that. It was almost as if there was an unexpected turn of events each minute.
