There's a unique joy in growing up with siblings, even if it means occasional (non-physical) fights. You can't get the bond from anyone else in the world. You have a lifelong best friend who can sometimes be a bit annoying, just like sour patches. (Are we really comparing siblings to candy? Yes, we are)

One minute, they're sour and want to be left alone; the next, they're sweet and want to do everything you're doing. Younger siblings are usually their older siblings' shadows until they grow into their own person. Sometimes, they even pick the same careers—like Jane and Frankie Rizzoli.

The fictional brother and sister duo, Jane and Frankie Rizzoli, brought a lot of laughter to viewers on Rizzoli & Isles. Their dynamic, with Frankie looking up to his sister and enjoying bothering her, felt so real. Like many real-life siblings, they bickered, annoyed each other, and yet, their bond was unbreakable. Their onscreen relationship was so relatable, it felt like watching our own family on screen.

The writers of Rizzoli & Isles deserve credit for their skill in creating characters that resemble real families in a fictional world. Their work not only entertained but also resonated with many viewers.
