AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Based on Tess Gerritsen's novels, Rizzoli & Isles is about as dog-eared as a paperback mystery, filled with standard characters and clichés.

Critic Reviews for Rizzoli & Isles: Season 1

You cannot even call Rizzoli & Isles run of the mill, it being that mills usually run more smoothly.
Rizzoli & Isles features a good dose of humor and a lean style of storytelling that's reflected in the fairly small core group with which we will apparently be working.
The writing is sharp.
Attempts at levity aren't working at all.
The suspense in the more violent scenes works nicely as we're only given glimpses of the crimes being committed.
Chazz Palminteri is inexplicably on the show as Rizzoli's father, and he seems to be channeling Christopher Walken's corpse for the role.
