DeputyChief Brenda Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) run the division of Priority Homicide. She takes the toughest high profile cases. Most of her cases are wrapped up before trial. Since she is the CLOSER. She slightly (but for the good) bends rules and/or manipulates things to her advantage. Great show Great Cast. The show played 2005-2012. At that time the entire cast except Kyra went on and still are on the spin off series........see next review
