What Parents Need to Know
About The Closer
Parents need to know that this crime drama's main character is a strong, smart female in a complex role. That said, since the series is about murder investigations, dead bodies, blood, and intensely emotional interrogations are all shown frequently. Crimes sometimes involve drugs and other nefarious activity.

- Families can talk about the show's main character. What makes Johnson so interesting? How is she different from other characters on crime shows? What does her relationship with the other main female character say about female relationships, especially in the workplace? How does race play out in the drama -- is it even a factor?

Kyra Sedgwick is definetely The Closer!
This is a great drama. It's different than all the other law dramas out there (which I like too). It has great writing and great acting. The time flies when I watch it and I can't wait until the next episode. It has a great sense of humor too. It's just a greatly written show!

laugh, cry & be puzzled
Loved Kyra on the soap "Another World" & in movies but this is her place, she does a terrific job. My hubby & I never miss an episode. The Closer has about everything, comedy, drama, mystery, adventure & everyday events that don't necessarily happen to all of us but could, like losing your cell phone, getting lost in a new town, etc. Hope The Closer, with the same cast, last a long, long, long time. I love everyone on the team, they are great actors & really compliment each other.
