Deputy Police Chief Brenda Johnson may have put in a year already with the Los Angeles police department, but that doesn't mean the transplanted Southerner fits in yet. In the second season of the TNT drama The Closer, Brenda is less a fish out of water, but she's still not completely at home with her brash colleagues--some of whom resent her potent mixture of brains and beauty. All 15 episodes from the 2006-2007 are included in this four-disc box set. And aside from a couple episodes where viewers are able to correctly guess the ending about 20 minutes into the show, the cases are taut, provocative, and highly watchable. Much of the show's success is due to Kyra Sedgwick (The Woodsman, Something to Talk About), an actress who seemed poised for movie stardom before she took time off to raise a family with husband Kevin Bacon. As bull-headed as she is soft-hearted, Brenda has a wry sense of humor and delivers her punch lines with a gentle drawl. But don't mistake gentility for gullibility: Cross her and you've made an enemy for life. Even when she's stuck in sitcom-like situations--such as trying to hide from her mother that she's living with her boyfriend--Brenda brings believability to her situation. From the first episode (dealing with the investigation of a brutally murdered police officer) to the last (Brenda's attempt to bring down a terrorist organization), Sedgwick is riveting; no wonder, then, that the Golden Globes honored her in 2007 as best actress in a TV drama. Rounding out the cast are J.K. Simmons (The Spider-Man franchise) as Assistant Chief Will Pope, Jon Tenney (Fools Rush In) as her boyfriend Fritz, and Anthony John Denison (Wild Things) as hard-nosed Detective Andy Flynn. --Jae-Ha Kim

 Great Series, Disappointing Extras December 19, 2008
I won't rehash how great the series is with its wonderful character in Chief Brenda Johnson. She's smart, and quirky, comes across as a real person who could be found in my community (minus the Southern drawl as that's not common in my area).
She has an unusual style of dealing with colleagues and suspects. She finds a way to close a case even when evidence isn't enough to convict a suspect. Despite being powerful in her career, she stumbles in her personal life though she's got a great guy in Fritz Howard, an FBI agent who is also an asset to her cases when she needs FBI info. No matter what, she'll always say "Please" and "Thank you."
I love the camaraderie with her staff. Flynn and Provenza provide the comic relief. Daniels and Gabriel add balance with their more conservative styles. It's also lovely that Gabriel has a masters degree and an uncanny ability to navigate political waters of LAPD. Tao, Buzz, Taylor, and Pope complete the diverse picture.
The only disappointment comes in that the extras aren't captioned or subtitled. Unfortunately, it's hit or miss for most DVDs. Some have it and some don't. This one doesn't (for all three seasons. Maybe they'll fix it in Season 4, but I am not expecting it).
the fresh,funny law and order September 16, 2008
terrific ensemble cast and pinpoint writing.funny,human,dramatic denouements and three dimensional characters with faults and frailties writ large.how did so many of the cast members remain relatively unknown until this show?
i'm a big fan.
The Closer September 8, 2008
I love this series. Kyra Sedgwick and her crew of priority homicide detectives keep the show exciting as well as humorous.

Review of The Closer-2nd Season August 2, 2008
This crime show has a large cast and every character is extremely well-developed. No weak links in this cast! The writers create the drama and the cast delivers a great product.
