More Critic Reviews for Rizzoli & Isles Season 1 All Critics (18) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (11) You cannot even call Rizzoli & Isles run of the mill, it being that mills usually run more smoothly. Jul 12, 2010 | Full Review… Troy Patterson Slate Top Critic 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. Jul 12, 2010 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic The writing is sharp. Jul 12, 2010 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Attempts at levity aren't working at all. Oct 3, 2018 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg Uproxx The suspense in the more violent scenes works nicely as we're only given glimpses of the crimes being committed. Oct 3, 2018 | Full Review… Kelly West CinemaBlend Chazz Palminteri is inexplicably on the show as Rizzoli's father, and he seems to be channeling Christopher Walken's corpse for the role. Jun 19, 2018 | Full Review… Steven Lloyd Wilson Pajiba The crime-driven material is familiar and, because of the book condensing, hurried and mystery-free, while at least in the early going, attempts at levity aren't working at all. Sep 19, 2013 | Full Review… Dan Fienberg HitFix It's a compelling enough tale, with Harmon projecting just the right amount of fear and defiance and Isles a complementary mixture of comfort and good sense. Sep 19, 2013 | Full Review… Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Top Critic Rizzoli & Isles is kind of a mess of a show. There are interesting elements around the edges, but the writing is just dire. Sep 19, 2013 | Rating: D+ | Full Review… Todd VanDerWerff AV Club Top Critic Wow. The new series Rizzoli & Isles isn't just bad, it's really bad. Jul 12, 2010 | Full Review… Scott D.
