I have had the privilege of seeing "The Closer". Kyra does a tremendous job with the role of Deputy Chief Brenda Johnson. The plots have been believable and her character is not only intelligent and insightful, but adds a bit of Southern charm to the series. She is witty, spunky and altogether wonderful.
This is a refreshing change from the so-called "reality shows" that I simply cannot stomach. This show ranks right up there with the Law and Order shows of which I am also a great fan.....in fact, in my humble opinion, it could easily surpass them if the writers can continue to produce this same quality of scripts. I am also a great fan of MONK and the 4400, and The Dead Zone. I just love these types of shows.
