Can you tell from the title that my favorite TV show is ‘The Closer’? Well, that’s what it is! I think Kyra Sedgwick is a good actress and I like what you see and hear from her in real life – and by this I mean her marriage and her love for her children. All this has nothing to do with the TV show but it is what made me watch it in the first place and after that I was hooked! I really like the different relationships that Brenda Johnson has with her interesting and talented staff. Each member of the staff has a completely different relationship with her and yet they all seem to care deeply for her and protect her without making it look like they are. She has a very strong character and yet retains all of her femininity, which is a great tribute to the writing staff. It’s hard to find a strong female character on TV or in the movies that does not come across as shrill or demanding but instead is much like any woman in the workplace today. The clever way of getting a suspect who is not willing to confess is a joy to watch and each case presents a different approach to this end. It is tough to see how her dedication to her work does create so many problems in her personal life but I think that that is true in real life. One can’t be as tied up in one’s job without one’s personal life taking a hit. I wonder how this marriage is going to affect things. So far Fritz has been more than patient with Brenda but how long can we expect this to continue? This season having her real life daughter play her niece on the show was a bonus. It will be interesting to see if Brenda and Fritz have children and how they will fit into the mix. Love this show!
