'Cagney and Lacey' meets 'Sex and the City'

I couldn't quite believe what I was watching when I saw this. Three young, attractive women with responsible jobs tackling serious crimes who suddenly break off and discuss girl things like relationships, ex-husbands, and their feelings. Talk about having your cake and eating it.

The crime plot in the episode I saw was quite intriguing and seemed well-crafted, with an interesting range of possible suspects and some good red-herrings drifting around. Then we were suddenly in a scene where the girls were saying Lindsay should get back together with Tom (even though she's a career-driven, goal-orientated modern woman). It was as if someone else's script had been bolted on to either fill in the time or - more likely - appeal to separate demographics.

Having said that I think Angie Harmon is gorgeous. I thought I had found the woman of my dreams, then I discovered she was a Republican who supported John McCain for president. Another illusion shattered...
