don't be dull, be fannish

I'm officially dropping Rizzoli & Isles. The cases are boring and I don't like the characters enough to suffer through mediocre writing. Isles' stunted social skills are unbelievable and Rizzoli's family's irritating. Giving up on this one.

SpoilerTV posted a trailer for the Supernatural anime: link. Can't wait! *bounces*

Watched the pilot of Rizzoli and Isles. Hm, what to say about it?

The good: The case was interesting and suspenseful. Both Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and Isles (Sasha Alexander) are likable and quirky and they don't need men to hold their hands - AND they're not condescending or obnoxious about it. And it was great to see Bruce McGill again.

The not so good: This is Women's Murder Club 2.0. Harmon's Rizzoli is Boxer-two-years-later. If I didn't know that I was watching R&I, I would have thought that they resurrected WMK. It's that similar. Carbon copy similar - similar characters, similar tone, similar cases. I liked WMK and R&I might take a different direction in the future, might be somehow different, but so far... nya.

The bad: I'm sorry but - again, so far - I don't see any chemistry between Harmon and Alexander. At all. They are acting side by side, not with each other. They just don't mesh. There's something missing.

Conclusion? I'll give it another ep or two, but if it doesn't wow me with something, I think I'll pass on this show.

Anybody else watching this?
