For all the reasons mentioned above we love “The Closer”. Kyra Sedgwick as Brenda Leigh is smart, dedicated and relentless as she pursues her quarry and the solid anchor for the ensemble cast. We especially like the officious bumbling of Assistant Chief Pope, J.J. Simmons, who is often hoisted upon his own petard. The shennanigans of Lts. Provenza (Bailey) and Flynn (Dennison) keep us in stitches with their byplay as they and the whole squad display the camraderie, internal squabbles and competition usually prevalent in team dynamics. These are people we recognize and admire as they go about the real work of bringing justice to the victims and putting away the bad guys.
