The Closer

Golden Globe® winner Kyra Sedgwick stars as Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, a former Atlanta detective brought to Los Angeles to head a special LAPD homicide unit. She is a top-notch investigator with unparalleled interrogation skills, but her work tends to take first priority in her life, much to the chagrin of her fiancé and frequently visiting parents.

This acclaimed series also features a stellar, three-time Screen Actors Guild Award®-nominated ensemble cast that includes J.K. Simmons (Juno, Burn After Reading), Corey Reynolds (The Terminal), Robert Gossett (Arlington Road), G.W. Bailey (M*A*S*H), Tony Denison (Melrose Place), Raymond Cruz (Collateral Damage), Michael Paul Chan (Arrested Development), Gina Ravera (ER), Phillip P. Keene (The D.A.) and Jon Tenney (The Division).

Each episode of The Closer deals with an aspect of the Los Angeles culture as it interfaces with law enforcement in the mega-city. The show deals with complex and subtle issues of public policy ethics, personal integrity, and profound questions of good and evil. The rather large character ensemble explores the human condition, touching on individual faiths, traditional religious influences in the lives and communities of contemporary society, and the breakdown and dysfunction of family systems, work teaming, and government responsibility.
