Overview

Rizzoli and Isles is a crime procedural drama television series that premiered on July 12, 2010, on TNT. Developed by Janet Tamaro and produced by Hurdler Productions and Ostar Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television, the show is based on the series of novels by author Tess Gerritsen. The narrative centers on the professional and personal partnership between Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles. Despite their differing economic backgrounds and contrasting personalities, the two women combine their expertise to solve complex cases. Jane is characterized as tough, relentless, and the only female cop in her division, while the impeccably dressed Maura is often described as having an icy temperament and being more comfortable among the dead than the living. Their supportive friendship allows them to drop their protective shields when they are together. The series features actors Angie Harmon, Sasha Alexander, Jordan Bridges, and Bruce McGill, and it ran from 2010 through 2016.
