{television} the closer; season one (2005)

Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) heads up a special unit of the L.A.P.D. that investigates high-profile murder cases in this original crime series from TNT. When Johnson transfers from Atlanta to L.A. to start the job, her colleagues (J.K. Simmons, Robert Gossett and Jon Tenney) initially roll their eyes at her offbeat ways and in-your-face approach, but she earns their respect with her exceptional interrogation skills.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** I was hooked from the first five minutes. Kyra Sedgwick is amazing. Great episodes, great storylines, and great characters. Another great crime drama.
