the plots are better on the closer (imho) and i really like the way she does the "i'm such a little southern flower hee hee" in the interrogation room and then skewers their ass to the wall because she's brilliant and is using femininity as a weapon. (i'm not sure that's the way the writers think about it, but it is how i think about it. so.)
r&i is on their first season, and it's radically different from the books. not quite _bones_ level look it's angel in the daylight that character isn't even in the books wtf level, but pretty different. but the two characters are both female, female in hard professions to be female in, and front and center. it's a cheesy cop buddy show where the two buddies happen to be straight women.
i'm not saying it couldn't be done better. because how about a non-cheesy cop buddy show? i'd be for that!
