Enjoyable show with quirky characters and great story that will keep you entertained. Season one felt a middle 'cookie cutter' with how each episode is written, following similar formula that makes every episode slightly similar. From season two onwards, the plot moves away from the 'cookie cutter' and has more mystery per episode. I wish the show got a chance to conclude properly and not be so rushed in season six. Overall, a lovely show that is worth checking out.

When I first heard about this show, I thought it was just an updated version of "Quincy M.E." only with a female lead and a little more gore. However, since I started watching the reruns on A&E I have become a fan. The thing that really sets it apart from the show that it was inspired by are the quirky characters that are an integral part of the show; especially Nigel and Bug. Also, Miguel Ferrer plays Macy with just the right combination of cynicism and grittiness to make this show work.However, this is definitely Jill Hennesey's show. She has definitely evolved from her days as Clair Kincaid on "Law and Order". She definitely shows a perfect blend of toughness and vulnerability that attracts a lot of men to her.This show definitely is one of the few quality shows of this era.

Episode 6-17 was supposed to be a season finale when NBC decided to cancel the series altogether. They then made a few inane changes in order to make it be a series finale. It was done in a very shoddy manner, leaving people hanging and leaving many irritated fans.It had all the makings of a very good season finale with the story to continue in the fall. For whatever reasons (unknown as of this writing) that NBC decided to cancel, they apparently felt no loyalty to the fans to make a real series finale.Six seasons is a good run for a crime drama, but NBC could have a least used a little talent to wrap it up.

My first reaction when I caught my first episode of "Crossing Jordan" was that this show was going to be kind of "Quincy" on estrogen. Now after watching this show for a couple of seasons, I have to say that my original impression was selling this show short.The ensemble cast of Jill Hennesey, Mel Ferrer, Kathyrn Hahn, Steven Valentine, Ravi Kapoor, and Jerry O'Connell represent one of the strongest in recent dramas since E.R. The characters played by these actors and actresses are well written and you really care about them.The mystery aspect of the show is good, but its the characters that make the show so good.
