Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Rizzoli & Isles Season 3 earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Rizzoli & Isles Season 3 from the crowd. Jane shot Maura's estranged father, crime boss Paddy Doyle, as he tried to defend Maura against an assailant - an incident which has driven a deep wedge between the two friends and colleagues. Jane and Maura will work hard to set aside their differences as they investigate a number of complex and troublesome crimes. Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2012. Rizzoli & Isles Season 3 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Angie Harmon is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
