(S05E03) If you were Kyra Sedgwick and you were asked to choose an episode of The Closer for Emmy consideration, this would be a strong candidate. For one thing, Ms. Sedgwick was given a really strong adversary, another likely Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series, Battlestar Galactica’s Mary McDonnell. As Captain Sharon Raydor, Force Investigation Division, McDonnell made an immediate impression.

BEWARE OF SPOILERS for those outside the US!!

TNT (Turner Network Television) has become the flagship cable station when it comes to strong female lead characters. Not only have they assumed this role, they have been extremely successful in the strategy as well.

The franchise player in this ensemble of shows is “The Closer”. This crime-drama which began June 13, 2005, stars actress Kyra Sedgwick, who has to be the comeback actress of the decade. Sedgwick won the “Best Actress” award for lead role in a dramatic television series at the Golden Globe Awards in 2007 for “The Closer”. Sedgwick plays savvy, intelligent, Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Major Crimes Division. Johnson, a Georgia native, is a driven investigator with a southern drawl and a gift for interrogation. The show focuses around Johnson and the Major Crimes Division’s efforts to solve crimes of public prominence, while dealing with the bureaucratic relationships that occur within their law enforcement organization. Johnson’s husband (John Tenney) also works in law enforcement, as an agent for the FBI. As of the close of its third season in September of 2003 , “The Closer” became ad supported cable’s number one scripted series of all time. For the week beginning Monday, June 15, 2009, the show was the number one rated broadcast on cable with 6.469 million viewers, according to Nielson Media Research. “The Closer” airs Mondays at 9PM ET on TNT.
