"The Closer" Review: Thankfully, Some Things Never Change

When last we left Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) on “The Closer,” she was a brand new bride. As season five opens, she is still a married woman, but there’s not too much time to explore that as she dives right into a horrific murder…

A mother, her mother-in-law and her two children are murdered and the husband and father is the prime suspect, but the solution may not be that simple as this episode takes several twists and turns before Brenda closes the case and gets her confession.

What we do see of her personal life is not good, as she may lose someone close to her…

I know it seems like I’m skimping on details here, but this case is so rich with drama, I don’t want to spoil anything for you. Because just when you think you know who did it, the show proves you wrong…

TNT says that this season will “explore the issue of change.” Thankfully, though, one thing doesn't change—the incredible Kyra Sedgwick. Even after four seasons, she continues to find new nuances in Brenda to keep us watching.

“The Closer” is a solid drama with a great cast. And paired with “Raising the Bar,” TNT is bringing us a serious one-two punch you won’t want to miss…

“The Closer” premieres Monday, June 8th at 9 p.m. on TNT…
