the Spin off from the Closer Major Crimes stars Mary McDonnell. She plays the lead Captain Rador. She has the same end game as Brenda (the Closer) only without the bending of the rules.At first I didn't like it. They blended the shows still talked about Brenda and also her husband from the Closer guest starred on Major Crimes. Can't wait for the next episode. This is the first series I've watched where the show was broken up. half of episodes in summer. then the rest beginning in December. Season one only 10 episode season 2 & 3 19 epi season 4 is 23 and season 5 to be continues. HORRAY!!! Love this show
