I thought this was a thread about the crime procedural series staring the amazing Kira Sedgwick

I typically hate police procedurals on television. But this is one of the only ones I do like. Sedgewick deals with a lot of sexist shit on the show, especially from police hierarchy and men in her unit. But what makes her character interesting is that she outsmarts criminals and always closes her cases. Criminals always underestimate her. I like that it's one of the few shows in this genre that features a woman as sole lead. In the USA I can't think of another one since Cagney and Lacey in the 80s.

Other than passing the Bechdel test and featuring Sedgewick, much of the rest of the show is rather conventional. But it is entertaining. I would suggest checking it out. If you like crime shows, this one is a good one.

The show was changed to the title "Major Crimes" after season 6 when Sedgewick left. "Major Crimes" is pretty good too. It's basically the same cast with Mary McDowell replacing Sedgewick, but McDowell is more of a hard nosed investigator.

I tend to prefer crime shows that are not led by men, because when they are they tend to be unoriginal and kind of boring. For instance I really liked "Scott & Bailey", a British show which feature female leads. Series with men in the lead that I've mostly enjoyed tend to be more in the Noir genre, like "Bosch", which i think is OK if you want to watch a guy swing his metaphorical dick around and play the Nobel Warrior Cop archetype.

I think just about every other crime series on American TV is trash. Mostly I prefer Scandinavian Noir, which tends to be a bit more edgy than US television

I just learned from a bus advert today that Christopher Meloni is back on a new spinoff of Law & Order.

I feel like this is the most boomer thing that's happened to me in months.

I saw his dick before, I think. On Oz.

Man, what a show that was.

Unhappy

It's kind of upsetting that he's returning to a role after a long absence that affords him no opportunity to emote, express an inner life, etc., etc., only to walk around NYC with a coffee cup in his hand and look concerned/confused

He's so funny in other stuff

I guess I, too, might be persuaded to take a data entry job that paid millions, then burn out, then get hungry for those sweet millions again

Question

Also, am I the only one who has no idea which "The Closer" we were supposed to be talking about, because it sounds like the Sedgwick show is not what vixnix had in mind

Okay, not sure how I missed the actual name of the very newsworthy thing being discussed all over the internet, and about which I am pretty steamed. I speak, of course, of the Joy Division album

screencap of the scene in Closer where Nat Portman's character tells the fella how much more she likes New Order than the album Closer by Joy Division
