Crossing Jordan (TV Series)

Jordan Cavanaugh is the only child of a widowed and retired ex-cop. She is a forensic pathologist who can’t help getting involved in the cases of the deceased victims she sees in front of her everyday. She is a rule breaker when it is necessary, and is very direct when dealing with people. Dr. Jordan works in the Boston morgue with a crew of unique individuals who are all great at what they do.

I don’t have the foggiest idea how I missed this show when it first aired. Crossing Jordan is a forensic procedural drama. It is well acted, and well written. It is fun to watch.

Cast includes: Jill Hennessy, Miguel Ferrer, Ravi Kapoor, Kathryn Hahn, Steve Valentine, Jerry O’Connell

Then there is something about a demon and some Lilith person and saints that don’t do anything saintly. It is really hard to put it all together.

Blue Bloods

Blue Bloods is a TV series about a New York City family with a tradition in law enforcement. This is from the producers of The Sopranos and kinda has that feel. Three generations of law enforcement are represented and just like any normal family there are arguments and disagreements but underneath an unbreakable bond.
