Over the easter break i have been watching Crossing Jordan.
The show stars Jill Hennesey as Jordan Cavanaugh. A young female detective working with a group of forensic scientists to find the truth and to catch the criminal.
As you can tell the show uses a female lead role to act as some sort of selling point, to make people think that females are powerful and not the typical cliche.
The show uses a running gimmick within the first season. Using the imagination of two characters (Jordan and Max aka her father) to try and figure out how the crime happend and who did this, how they did this etc...
Which shows that despite Jordan having to run a group of forensic scientists she keeps a tight bond with her family, we also see that her father must of had an infulence in becoming this strong female leader.
All in all in my opinon the show is very interesting with its mixup of csi with its forensic science and a mixup of any other crime drama with a female lead but this will not be recommed for all audiances. As they show is techinical and thereby will not favour towards the all guns blazzing fans.
