Article: "In [R&I], the third character is their relationship."
From Minneapolis Star Tribune:
TV's female crimefighters carry a badge, a gun and a tough-as-nails attitude. But there's one tool they're rarely provided with: gal pals.Absolutely Angie: A fan site with news, photos, and commentary related to "Rizzoli & Isles" star Angie Harmon.
Sgt. Lucy Bates, assigned to "Hill Street Blues," drank and played poker exclusively with the boys. For all her Southern charm, Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson of "The Closer" can't seem to attract a single girlfriend.

Until last year, you had to go back to "Charlie's Angels" and "Cagney & Lacey" for a popular drama in which women had each other's back, both on and off the job.

Tess Gerritsen: "How do you make Angie Harmon not beautiful?"
From Columbus Dispatch:
Q: What do you think of the Rizzoli & Isles TV series?Absolutely Angie: A fan site with news, photos, and commentary related to "Rizzoli & Isles" star Angie Harmon.
Tess: I do like it. It's funnier, lighter, and has more of the female-friendship theme than my books. ... In my books, I make a point of describing Jane as utterly ordinary-looking. She's not a beautiful woman, and, maybe because of that, she has a chip on her shoulder. But how do you make Angie Harmon (who plays Jane Rizzoli) not beautiful?
