TNT is a famous cable channel in
the states that produces interesting TV shows. One of TV shows that I loved to
watch is ‘The Closer.’ It is about the story of LAPD. One female boss came to
the LAPD and her team members were struggling to get adjusted. The team’s
specialty was to get a murderer especially when people think the crime is a
major crime hard to solve. At first, her team members dislike the female detective,
the main character, Brenda Leigh Johnson. That is because she is a female and
she came from other organization not LAPA. However, as the story goes, her
ability to solve the crime is brilliant and the members embrace her as their
true supervisor. Due to this story, people can get a glimpse of how hard it is
to survive at work as a woman.
Each
episode of the show has one crime to solve and several crimes are solved
through more than two episodes or seasons. Unlike other mystery or crime
solving TV drama show, this is focusing on one investigating how the crime
happens and why it happens by getting confession from the suspect. Brenda is
really good at getting confession since she knows how to crack the suspect’s
mind psychologically. When people see Brenda in the interview room getting the
suspect broken down, they feel somehow pleasure. People usually love when the
justice gets its place. The interesting point of the interview of Brenda is
sometimes she is so eager to make justice happen that she does wrong ethically.
That point gives viewers a chance to think about what is the best way of making
justice.
Also,
each character’s life in the show has been shown too in many episodes. Each
character is attractive. Especially, the detective Provenza and Flynn are an
excellent pair of making fun. Even though their clumsy investigation and
behavior sometimes make trouble in solving the crime, they are lovely to watch.
There are even more reasons to watch this show but I will stop this from here.
If you watch it, you can find the fun of guessing how the story goes and feeling
closer to the fascinating characters.
