Crossing Jordan was, and stil is an amazing show. But the thing that made the show really stand out for me was that all the ators were absolutely amazing!!! I also love the fact that all of the actors weren"t drop-dead gorgeous. This fact made the show more relatable to the audience.
My favorite characters are Steve Valentine's "Nigel" and Ravi Kapoor's "Bug". The reason I enjoy them is because they're both so quirky, and different.
Another thing I liked was the fact that each actor was give their chance to shine in a particular episode. Miguel Farrer was mesmerizing as Dr. Garett Macy.
It also seemed like all the actors really cared about each other. it also seemed like they weren't trying to up-stage one another, they felt like a cohesive group. and that's what made the show a hit.
Bring on season 2...I can't wait!!!
p.s. i wanna see some bloopers on the next DVD.

This is a great show, one of my favs. If you love a good mystery and watching a smart woman this is for you. I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Season 2.

Bought it for the "Bride" and she loves it. Made a bunch of points with the wife!!! Life is good.

As a true Crossing Jordan fan, the (finally) released Season 1 on DVD is a dream come true. The extras on the DVD are great. Can't wait for Seasons 2-6! This show is great for anyone who likes crime dramas. It is also very character driven which makes it extremely unique (unlike the CSI franchise.)

I actually discover Jordan on DVD .Having "withdrawal symptoms" at the end of season 2 of Bones on DVD,I searched Amazon for something similar and found this series.I wasn't disappointed,although it took a while before "total suspension of disbelief" works.I had to sit thru something like 6 episodes before stopping the comparison to "Bones"and enjoying it on its own terms.I will list briefly the good and bad points I found:
The good :
As many other reviewers have pointed out,great ensemble cast,good chemistry between the main characters,clever story lines.Very creative mix of hilarity and darkness."Bones" took a lot from this show.
The bad:
At least for the first few episodes,I had a problem with the main character:Ms Hennessy is way too much of a looker,she struts around looking more like a model from a fashion catalogue.The rest of the cast are either plain ,quirky and foreign,deliberately so in order to make her stand out even more.We hardly see her actually doing her job ,you know wearing a lab coat,cutting flesh at the operating table,mouthing long incomprehensible medical terms etc..Instead,I get to see her meddling with the cops'work uninvited,the motivations being really contrived at times.
The "profiling" scenes while fascinating at first,soon become formulaic and repetitive,especially when I view two episodes in a row .
Conclusion:
I enjoyed watching this show,but it took a while before it becomes compulsive viewing.I feel slightly put off knowing beforehand that these characters won't find any closure as the show was axed at the end of season 6.
So :Reccommended viewing,but patience is required.
