Really enjoy this series. Laughs are hidden in almost every scene. Great drama with a twist.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!
This show always has me wondering about which direction it's going to take. I love all of the characters and I feel like they work perfectly together. Some episodes are a little bit funny, especially when dealing with Provenza and Flynn, and others are heart wrenching. Unfortunately, I started watching this show in the 4th season so now I'm going back and catching all of the previous episodes. But even then I'm loving it. I even got my friend hooked on the show and now he has his DVR set to record any episode of The Closer that comes on.

The Closer Just Keeps Getting Better and Better!!

"I have been an avid fan of this television show since the first episode of the first season. I have purchased all previous seasons. I noticed that with the beginning of season four an upgrade had been made with regards to the writing, plots, and characterizations of the shows regulars. (We still don't know Provenza's first name...) The most rewarding thing for me is that everything about the show improved in a very dramatic way. I love watching all the previous seasons' shows over and over again, but I anticipate that season four will be equally great especially without all the commercials! Kyra Sedgwick is the tasty bait for this show, but every other actor on the set is a joy to behold. I applaud the writers and the directors for bringing out everyone's best!!!!"
Excellent and explosive season

"Kyra Sedqwick is not only interesting, but slightly annoying (in a good way) in her role as Brenda Leigh Johnson. In one scene she can give us a performance full of drama lightened by the quirkiness of her character.
Season 4 of The Closer was excellent. It was full of change and of very good and well written episodes. The team came under fire from the press for what is and what is not called Priority Homicide. This leads to a major restructuring of the squad and a very interesting turn of events thanks to Brenda's quick thinking. The squad had to deal with their own problems: interpersonal relationships (Daniels and Gabriel) and one of them has to deal the loss of a loved one. Brenda's parents came for an episode and put Brenda and Fritz' relationship in the limelight. Just when are they going to get married?!
Brenda and Fritz also had to deal with moving to a new (temporary) place and with their relationship. The episodes of the closer were excellent coming to a rather explosive and great season finale."
Love, Love, Love it!!!

"I love this show! Kyra Sedgwick is finally getting her just deserved! Please don't change any of the characters relationships. I love the chemistry just the way it is. Don't make the mistake of changing how the characters interact with each other. My other favorite show did and now I don't know how long I'm am going to continue to watch it. So, please, please , please, don't change a thing!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!"
Love it!

"We love The Closer...but missed several episodes. Watching this 'in order'
really helps us learn more about the interaction of the characters...and
where their lives are headed.
We love it!

"I love this show. Not only is it full of drama but it has the humor that was in a Show that I loved so much St Else Where. The entire cast of this show just makes it fantastic. From Kyra Sedgewick's quirky Brenda Lee to all of her detectives and thier "baggage". Never has their been a detective show that could appeal in quite this way. I never miss a show and I have thoroughly enjoyed my other DVD's from the prior seasons more than any other set of DVD's that I have."
