Product Description
From Amazon.com
Deputy Police Chief Brenda Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick, Personal Velocity) isn't about making friends, she's about getting results. Days after her transfer from Atlanta, the LAPD's Priority Homicide Division decides they can't work with the blunt-talking Southern belle. Fortunately, she has former CIA colleague, Assistant Police Chief Will Pope (J.K. Simmons, Spider-Man), on her side. As he explains to Captain Taylor (Robert Gossett), who she has just replaced, "She is not miss congeniality...but she's a closer." Set to the sound of urban blues, TNT's The Closer is Columbo by way of Prime Suspect. In other words, Johnson may be as messy as Oscar Madison, but she's as sharp as Sherlock Holmes. Throughout the first season, she'll solve 13 murders, including those of a reclusive mathematician, a Russian prostitute, and a British butler. She won't get much support from her colleagues, except for Sergeant David Gabriel (Corey Reynolds, Broadway’s Hairspray)--to the consternation of his co-workers, like Detective Lieutenants Provenza (G.W. Bailey, M*A*S*H) and Flynn (Tony Denison, Melrose Place). Johnson also has a friend in FBI Special Agent Fritz Howard (Jon Tenney, You Can Count on Me). With his help, she'll eventually settle into her new environment, especially when she lands a house and a cat on the same day (conveniently left behind by a victim). Just as it takes awhile for the chief to grow on her squad--and to get used to driving in LA--Sedgwick's Golden Globe-nominated performance follows a similar trajectory. Fortunately, "Scarlett O'Hara," as the droll Provenza dubs her, becomes more fully-rounded as the season progresses, aided by a superb SAG Award-nominated ensemble cast. Consulting producer on The Closer is former LA District Attorney Gil Garcetti of O.J. infamy. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Brilliant!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Closer: The Complete First Season (DVD)
This show has a bit of everything for everyone to enjoy ... mystery, suspense, humour, drama... it reaches across all genres! Kyra Sedgwick is so brilliant in her role, it is amazing that she has never starred in a tv show before. And, I think that she was robbed of her Emmy! My only criticism of this show is that the first season was only 13 episodes long. Not enough! I can't wait for the second season!

Full, rich characters...what a treat!,

This review is from: The Closer: The Complete First Season (DVD)
At last, a beautiful yet believable, flawed and funny strong female character in a remarkably well-developed crime show...what a treat for those of us fed up with the high-heeled silicone set and male models with bulging biceps. Although this series is realistic and showcases top-notch crime drama, it is HILARIOUS! The chemistry between the actors just lights up the screen. The dialogue is witty and the conversations are intelligent but it is a long way from resembling a soap opera with big guns. It makes you want to join the Priority Crime team!The Closer: Seasons 1-4
