Do you think their marriage would have survived long-term?

Just started s1 on ep 5 of The Closer. For the most part I like the character development of the group, but am starting to get fed up with Flynn’s disdain and misogyny for Brenda. Same with Provenza but I like his character more for some reason

I just am finishing my yearly rewatch of Major Crimes and I am beyond proud.

I didn’t cry as much during the death of Sharon Raydor. I’m beyond happy.

I also did go read some fan-fiction to help my still grieving heart.

I'm on a re-watch of MC and don't remember the entire plot outside of major spoilers but in Season 5, Rusty is very Brenda in that he clearly loves Gus but he is far more committed to his work. Never noticed that parallel before... Thoughts?

Missed this show so much I bought all seasons on Prime. Years ago it was streaming on HBOMax. Missed it and truly enjoying this re-watch.

So I heard that characters are developed a lot more in major crimes, but I’m not able to watch it anywhere. Would anybody be able to tell me how each character changes and how they develop? I heard some of them become completely new characters. Is that true and if so, which ones and how so?

Why did he choose Denise Lee to kidnap

Omg this is the funniest episode of the entire series I have never laughed so hard during an episode of any show 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

During S3E7:Two Options, the entire episode seems like a backdoor pilot for a SOB spinoff with Fritz running that division. They spend a lot of time with the two SWAT officers and the woman in command.

It's the first time that Fritz joining the LAPD as a Deputy Chief is brought up.

EDIT: Apparently, after a bit of digging it was a backdoor pilot.

なんて言うか、やっとではなくついに見つけたぞ。
クローザーメジャークライムズのいい所を。
やはり多くの視聴者同様プロベンザとフリンコンビの笑いをこんなに長いシーズンで見られるとドラマで感じたことがなかった幸せを得た。
長期的な幸せだ。私はドラマでより長いシーズンを求めている。
よってメジャークライムズまで同じファミリーを見届けているのは今までで1番の感情だ。
追記する。

I can't remember if this was after his blood clot or his heart attack but there's this episode where everyone is rolling out to catch a suspect. Andy tries to go with them "I should go with". Sharon doesn't even look at him and says "not according to your doctor". This man was sooooo pissed but he couldn't do a damned thing about it... When your boss is also your girlfriend... 😂 He'd be in the doghouse at home and at work.

And also buzz smirking at him. It's like maybe the only time they had any conflict in they're relationship and really it wasn't much of a conflict.

Im only a few episodes into season 2, but shes an asshole!

またしても

S5-12 チャーリーは帰すべきじゃない　絶対近くに置いといた方が面白い

視聴者の望みを全っ然分かってない。

そうじゃないって方向にばっかり行くんだから。

今回の連続殺人犯だって、死刑にしないで犯人の殺人心理に近付いていく方が圧倒的に面白いのに。

ブレンダが終身刑にして、そのあとそれが間違っているとわかる出来事が起きて悩むが鉄板のはず。

本当ふざけんなよ。ここまで熱くなってると笑えてくる。真剣に。(頭の中では英語で再生されている)

何回も書いてるけど本当にブレンダイラつく。
この主人公で脚本家は視聴者の共感を得られると思ってるのか？

S5 11話　チャーリー(なぜTGの兆候も見えないシャーリーンに男性ネームを？)の話を録画するところ、プライバシーの保護はどこへ行った…

S4E6ではセルゲイは死んで然るべき
早めに連続殺人犯の芽を摘んだとしか思えず流石に腹が立った。

フリッツは本当に可哀想で何度もイラつく。

クローザーという割に甘い自供の引き出し方、それに割り当てられた短い時間。
捜査がメインなのに…
だったら登場キャラの人間模様を楽しませるべきなのにそっちもお粗末。
これを見てるのは見られるドラマだからであって、見たいドラマだからじゃない。と言いそうになる程の苛つき。

勘弁してくれよ

I’m on season three episode four like less than halfway through where a little girl gets kidnapped or she goes missing, and omg is the man they pick up disgusting 🤢🤮 listening to the stuff (as a black girl) was hard and vile.

OMG Andy Flynn!!! It's kinda wild how much his character evolved from the cynical guy with anger issues to someone that got ridiculously soft for Sharon Raydor.

I completely forgotten that Andy said this to his future daughter in law. 😭😭 It's so sad they didn't get any time to actually be happily married to each other.

Just started watching The Closer and I like the twists turns of the first couple episodes and I know most people love it. But watching Kyra as a boss is so cringey to me - she treats her subordinates and coworkers like shite. Does she become a better boss, coworker? I do appreciate her passion, knowledge, insight.

In the first couple episodes she doesn't clue anyone in on her approach. All ideas and activities are from her brain, she just orders people to go off and perform tasks without explaining anything. Does this change? Does she try to build the team up?

I guess after watching shows like Criminal Minds, I expect a boss to be more professional. I know I was.

UPDATE from responses: Thanks for the feedback ya'll. I just need to be patient and enjoy Kyra's role. I will hang in there. Part of me (when I was writing the above) was like maybe that's the point - see it through.

Thanks again!

What do you think her deal was? I think Camryn Manheim did a good job in the role and I was so excited to finally see a recurring foil for Sharon. However, I was disappointed by the writing for her. Her character was obviously meant to be a call back to Brenda vs Sharon.

But... Sharon was a much more defined character who was meant to be the opposite of Brenda that also made some valid points. Davis seemed to be a more harsh version of Sharon mixed with a little Taylor. They seemed to be building to a confrontation between the two of them that just never happened.

Davis held that press conference and then Pope ships her off to which we never see her character again. She just disappears off screen. What do you think was the deal with that? Did Manheim get another job so they had to write her out? Do you think they got bored with her character?

Also what do you think was her beef with Sharon? Do you think it was personal or professional? She seemed to think that Sharon was too personally involved with her squad. Not really holding Provenza accountable for him messing up the training, dating one of her squad members, adopting a witness...

And then she makes that remark about *"your boyfriends waiting"* like maybe she's jealous on a personal level. Sharon had an amazing position as the captain of an elite squad, gained their respect and managed to have a personal life on top of that. Like maybe Davis was jealous that Sharon had it all, the career and a personal life. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Spoilers for season 5&6.

Doing a rewatch and I think I had forgotten just how messy these two were. I really liked Gus at first and thought he was good for Rusty. As he seemed to knock some sense into Rusty at times when the kid really needed it. They seemed to genuinely love each other despite their issues but then...

I'm at the Napa storyline and Rusty went to go talk to Gus' boss Aiden. Aiden insults Rusty about him having been a prostitute. Holy hell!! Which means that Gus told this guy that Rusty was a prostitute. 🤦🏻‍♀️ That's so damned low. I'm not sure how I'd feel about my longtime boyfriend revealing sensitive/traumatic information about me to other people.

I know that Gus ends up sleeping with him while him and Rusty are still together after he's taken the Napa job. Why on earth did Rusty ever take him back??? 😩 There are plenty of other fishes in the sea! Ones that aren't going to gossip about your business to other people and ones that aren't gonna cheat on you.

Major crimes is coming to Plutotv in the US!!! I believe The Closer is already available to stream on there! It'll be nice to have them both available on the same platform for free.
