The Closer (2005–2012)
6/10
The supporting cast were all winners
30 June 2020
The supporting cast were all so good for the seven (7) seasons (2005-2012) that they entertained us while appearing on the Closer, that many of them were wisely transferred over to the evolution TV crime series, Major Crimes, for an additional six (6) seasons (2012-2018) for our benefit.

As for the Closer's supposedly star, Kyra Sedgwick, who plays Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson with a fake southern accent that seems to come and go more often than her murder victims, after watching her for seven seasons whining and crying in almost every one of the series dwindling 109 episodes over the seven (7) seasons, well Mrs. Shullivan and I were happy to see this series put to rest. We just couldn't take any more of Kyra Sedgwick's whiny antics anymore.

I find it hard to believe that this crime series lasted for seven (7) series with their police chief Brenda Leigh Johnson controlling every suspect interview personally, bending the rules as she deemed fit, manipulating almost every single suspect during her interrogation of them, and yet, not one suspect ever seemed to say the one magic work that would keep them out of jail, "LAWYER!".

If you have watched the entire series as Mrs. Shullivan and I have, and if you check either the front and/or back cover of each and every season's DVD packaging, you will see that the executive producer, and the series so called star, Kyra Sedgwick, is front and center so that everyone knows this vanity project was all about her. She ruined the series for me.

Thank you G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Mary McDonnell, Frances Sternhagen, Barry Corbin, Robert Gossett, Corey Reynolds, Michael Paul Chan, Phillip P. Keene, Jon Tenney and especially Raymond Cruz for keeping us interested enough to continually tune in for all seven (7) seasons, in spite of that irritating series lead Kyra Sedgwick.

I give the series a passable 6 out of 10 IMDB rating for the stellar supporting cast, and I have to emphasize that I lowered my rating two notches specifically to penalize that whiny Captain Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) who was intolerable to watch each and every episode. CLOSED
