What he says about Rizzoli & Isles seems pretty spot on.
According to Rogers' classifications, "Rizzoli & Isles" has all the window dressing of a show about systems. "Rizzoli & Isles is an hour long police drama that almost always begins with a murder. At first glance the format of the show seems to closely mirror 'Law & Order,' the platonic example of a show about systems," according to Rogers. But first glances can be deceiving.
Read the rest here. Trust us, you'll want to see what else he said. Very interesting stuff!
Very interesting, thanks for the link. I tend to agree in the sense that all the nitpicking we fans do about the "crime" part of the plots of R&I is probably neither here nor there to the creators, because that was never really the focus of the show. Now if only they would focus on developing/writing the characters with more consistency ... the window dressing of the murder plots would matter very little, at least to this viewer.
