TV series Review: The Closer


While not quite "just another cop show, " this series held my interest from day one. I selected the whole series and watched them over the course of two weeks. I would spread them out a bit more, but it's darn good to keep my attention for that long.

Kyra Sedgwick plays a southern belle turned lead LA detective in the Priority Murder Squad. Yes, you got it.... the PMS. Sexist overtones aside, Sedgwick takes charge fairly well. The character's wonderful flaws and charm disarm many a suspects and colleague.

She's not one to play politics and her messy relationships with men from her past color her judgment. Her constant "thank yew" tends to imply an insult or at best a backhanded compliment. I think the program got better and better as it went on.
