“I hate endings. The truth is I hate beginnings, too. I like middles, the steady sameness, comfortable forever.” Korsak
Almost every other month, a member in my book group puts up the question, “What’s everyone reading today?” I stumbled upon Tess Gerristen in one of those threads. Curious me, googled her, and found her books. In a week’s time I was reading her third police procedural with Detective Jane Rizzoli and the Medical Examiner Maura Isles. As I warmed up to them Google hints at a tv series in their name.
S1E1 is based on the first book I read from the author. It grew on me – watching an episode a day after a day’s work, steadily, the actors becoming a part of my life. To the point where I was shocked to learn that the actor playing Detective Barry Frost was no more one day. We need to live with a character in a book or/and a film to go through the cycle of grief and loss of a fictional character & and actor essaying the role.
Season 6 & 7 are so so, but I enjoy watching an espisode or two once in a while.
“I like beginnings, and endings, and most often even though middles are comfortable, I kind of am bored soon” a line from the last episode of the series is one of my favourites.
