Host Cynthia Bemis Abrams resumes her review of TNT's original series, The Closer (2005-2012). Cynthia examines Deputy Brenda Leigh Johnson's continued leadership growth, which created a rare long look of a police procedural female character. The series devoted energy and realistic depth to Brenda's challenges from Capt. Sharon Raydor, marriage, alcoholism, ambition, succession and professional burnout.
