Add to the list Rizzoli & Isles, premiering in Canada Tuesday at 10 p.m. on Showcase. The series, which stars Angie Harmon (Law & Order) as policewoman Jane Rizzoli and Sasha Alexander (NCIS) as medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles, has been a hit for two seasons on the U.S. cable network TNT.

We’ve seen Maura and Jane have little tiffs, but never at odds like this.
Tamaro: Right. That’s when I think both actresses are best. Their chemistry is wonderful with the comedic moments and they both have a different level of intensity, but they’re both really interesting when they’re in conflict because of what they do and how they process their work. Hopefully, those last few seconds, where we’re going off of Jane’s face, where she’s feeling something so palpable and so upsetting, it shows what I’m intending: In those horrific moments in life, you don’t act in predictable ways.

How will this affect their relationship? Jane was doing her job, but will Maura see it that way? Can she forgive her?
Tamaro: That’s something we’re going to explore as they find their way back. There won’t be a whole lot of time passed. It’s a big rift. No matter how Maura tries to look at it, all she can see is Jane pulling the trigger and her father falling. … I’ll kind of bust myself and say I wrote myself into a corner with that scene. Maura processes things in a logical manner and that was just pure emotion that I think we can all relate to. I don’t know that we’ve seen that kind of fierce, raw emotion from Maura before.
