Editorial Review:
Brenda Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) arrives from Atlanta to lead the LAPD's Priority Homicide Division the special division that deals with explosive high-profile criminal cases. Almost immediately her mix of brassy toughness and Southern sass begins to rub the mostly male policemen the wrong way. They resent this eccentric folksy and occasionally neurotic woman running the show. But when it comes to her CIA-trained interrogation skills they're forced to admit that she's a pro's pro a psychological surgeon who gets inside the subjects' minds and draws out their darkest secrets and confessions. And that's why she's the closer. This release includes the first two seasons of the show.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 085391113287 Manufacturer No: 111328
The Closer - The Complete First Two Seasons Reviews:
If I could watch only 1 TV show...yup, The Closer is it. 
2009-12-16 - As a fan of mystery/crime/murder programs and films, I must say there has never been a law enforcement character - male or female - as dynamic and passionate about her work as Brenda Lee Johnson. Credit the writers for consistently producing unique and entertaining plots. Though clearly a "drama", there is a keen, sharp wittiness that allows us some chuckles even in the face of gruesome, dastardly killings. We see artfully crafted growth and adjustment within the "Priority Homicide" unit as the squad first tries (unsuccessfully) to undermine Deputy Chief Johnson. Viewers are treated to the dedication and resilience Brenda demonstrates as she continues to fight for the murder victims despite the hostility she faces within the department. With unfailing perseverance, she slowly gains a well deserved respect and support from the squad. Her tenacity is, at times, too much. The stress in her personal relationships is, in large part, because of her obsessive need to solve her cases. First time viewers will be hooked within a short time watching this show. The Closer is a rare treat that promises A+ entertainment.
Closer Captivates
2009-01-06 - The 1st and 2nd seasons of the Closer are raw and yet startingly sensitive; while Det. Brenda Lee Johnson and her crew solve homicides in LA, California. What is most intriquing,to me, is the explanation of the actual basis and initial details of the show. Or,specifically, the stream of details I missed by simply not viewing it from its inception. These episodes help me put together the later episodes that I viewed in seasons 3 and 4. I would highly recommend these seasons to reaquaint oneself with the background of the series or just for the sheer enjoyment of comparison and contrast to later episodes.
Closer 1 & 2
2008-10-18 - The product is everything I expected. The transaction was professional and efficient. I look forward to doing more business on-line with Amazon.com
Enjoyable to watch
2008-10-09 - My wife loves this show and I enjoy it. Buying the DVD and watching without the advertising breaks is a blessing. Each show is a complete story in itself without having to wait till the next episode to see what happens. The episodes are a good mix of drama, humor and police invesigation. Very enjoyable.
The best TV series.
2008-09-21 - Just love the cast, they all seem to work well together. The show keeps you on your sit and wanting more when it's over. I never saw the first season,so I ordered this to watch till the new season starts. Can't get enough of Kyra Sedgwick. I look forward to seeing how Brenda will pull Fritz into the crime case. I enjoy the romance between Fritz and her, just love the way she gets flustered when her parents are coming. She's a south lady, funny and brilliant being the Deputy Police Chief. It's a great show.
