That last episode was far fetched!

Like bad guys would really take over a police station in a large modern city?

Like none of the police personnel had cell phones in the police station?

Seriously. How stupid do the writers think viewers are?

Come on! Every time they tried the police station telephones, I'm sure MOST viewers were saying, "Just use your cell phone!" They all use cell phones all the time on the show. How did every single officer and medical examiner suddenly not have a cell phone when they were under seige? I agree that it's entertainment, but writers should strive for some degree of realism.

I like the show. It has potential and deserves another season.

I have to agree, and there's no way an entire police station would be cleared out except for a few people. I know it's a TV show, and suspension of disbelief is required, but that episode was just too ridiculous for me. Also, that cop in the building with them turning out to be bad was so obvious, if the viewers could tell how could a supposedly good cop like Rizzolli be so oblivious?

I think this show does a disservice to a very appealing cast, it needs a lot of work. I'll watch if nothing else is on, but I can take it or leave it.

the phones and cell phones didn't work because they brought in a signal jammer right when they came in the building. believable or not, it was dramatic. We enjoyed the show and they did say it will be back next summer.

I like the character played by Angie Harmon. She's great as a strong, confident female lead. A couple of years ago, I really liked Women's Murder Club. This is a bit similar (though not quite as good) and I enjoy the show. I like the fact that the forensic part doesn't go all over the top "science fictioney" like CSI or Bones.

Just the same, I'm getting sick of cop shows as well as medical dramas and lawyer shows. Can't Hollywood come up with something original?

I wonder what happened last week when a perp started shooting up some real police station?? Didn't hear much about that, just video of the cops shooting for their lives.

It happened in Detroit, the gunman, who was wanted for kidnapping a child, walked in and started shooting in the lobby at the front desk, there were many cops around and they took him down in probably less that a minute, he never made it past the front area. There were some injuries, but the only person who died was the shooter, that's why it didn't make that much news. Police stations never empty out to deal with one thing, that's crazy.

I'm sorry, but television is entertainment, unless it's called a reality show. I watch to escape reality, esp. after a crappy day at school or work. Look at the reviews on movies like Avatar, or the show The Good Wife. There are plenty of movies and tv shows that aren't realistic. As you can tell, I'm a fan. I watch because I love the premise and I love the literal, somewhat weird character played by Sasha Alexander. The rappor between the two main characters is awesome. Sorry, there are some that don't like it.
