Battlestar Galactica

If you're Rizzoli & Isles ' Maura Isles, you throw on some Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta.


She has great clothes and she has great taste. We are referring to her as Carrie Bradshaw with a dead body."
Though Isles is more often among the dead than living, the fashionista does have a close — though very different — friend with a pulse: Detective Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon), with whom she teams up to solve Boston's grisliest crimes.
"It's kind of, like, 'Opposites attract to kick a--.' You don't see two lead female [crimefighters] on shows a lot," says Alexander, 37. "I like their relationship because they have a different sense of style, backgrounds and points of view, but there's a true female friendship. It's not the kind where these girls grew up together and they're besties. They're adult women, doing separate jobs who met on the job, but making their lives work. I love that it's genuine and there's no cattiness that you sometimes see elsewhere."

That may be attributed to the fact that the series — which premieres after TNT's other girl-power drama The Closer — was created by women from the ground up. The show is based on the successful book series by physician-turned-writer Tess Gerritsen and adapted by Janet Tamaro (Trauma). "They get it. They're not trying to stereotype it. [Rizzoli and Isles] both go from vulnerable to sexy to smart to angry," says Alexander, whose crime procedural resume includesNCIS. "That's the best part about getting to play her. You can call a female producer and say, 'Oh, c'mon! They wouldn't be fighting over this guy! Not all girls want to date the same guy.'"
