Bought it for the "Bride" and she loves it. Made a bunch of points with the wife!!! Life is good.
Crossing Jordan-Season 1 is AwesomeJun 05, 2008
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.)

 Good show, needs time to find its footingMay 30, 2008
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.
One of the best shows everMay 26, 2008
I literally just finished watching season 1, it took me 2 weekends. I love this show. Now my big problem is....I NEED SEASON 2!!!! Hopefully it comes quicker than season 1 did.
Crossing Jordan: Season OneMay 25, 2008
I enjoy mysteries, that is what drew me to "Crossing Jordan". What kept me returning to each episode was watching the development of each of the characters, and thier interactions with each other in the workplace, the Coroner's Offices for the City of Boston. Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh (played expertly, by Jill Hennessy) lost her mother when she was ten years old, her mother was murdered, and the killer was never found. As you can probably guess by this statement, Jordan still has nightmares, anger issues, and a few other emotional issues. She delves deeper than she should into murder cases, making very interesting episodes!Crossing Jordan: Season 1
