Major Crimes. Major Convictions. Action Crime Drama Mystery. Not Rated. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Trivia Because of the show's popularity and continuing positive ratings, season four was extended to twenty-three episodes, four more than any previous season.
Season one had just ten episodes, and seasons two and three had nineteen episodes each. Besides, Creator James Duff revealed on an interview, that the extra episodes were given, because TNT didn't have much programming for mid-February, so they asked Duff to create a five-episode arc. Goofs A running action throughout the series was to casually slip the Miranda Warning to people they wanted to question and get them to essentially sign away their rights and was a carry over from The Closer In though, the US Supreme Court ruled that an explicit acknowledgment that the person understands their Miranda Rights must be given.
This explicit question-acknowledgment rarely was ever done which would invalidate any confession. User reviews Review. Top review. Without Rusty I will rate this show 10 out of This character is annoying. Robin, and produced by Shepherd. The series was developed by James Duff with Michael M.
The show concluded its seventh and final season on August 13, , after a total of episodes. The series premiere of Major Crimes , a continuation spin-off of The Closer , was aired directly after the final episode. Each episode of The Closer deals with an aspect of the Los Angeles culture as it interfaces with law enforcement in the megacity. The show deals with complex and subtle issues of public policy, ethics, and personal and professional integrity. The rather large character ensemble explores the human condition, touching on individual faiths, traditional religious influences in the lives and communities of contemporary society, and the breakdown and dysfunction of family systems, work teaming, and government responsibility.
During Season 4 an embarrassing tangle with the press, over just what were the criteria making a homicide a priority, allowed Brenda to manipulate circumstances so the division would be reorganized into a much larger Major Crimes Division with a wider scope, though the majority of plots still involved and focused on homicides.
Most importantly to the show's plotlines, Commander Taylor's role was also changed from "rival and in-house adversary" to that of "unambiguously loyal subordinate", so that he was thereafter reporting directly to Deputy Chief Johnson and noticeably helpful as he coordinates interaction between the MCD and other units. She knocked it out of the stratosphere. Also, we knew we were not going to be back because of the way the network had treated us.
Well, we had no idea they were going to cancel us before we even aired; that was a huge surprise. We knew the show was finished even though that has not been announced. This is what would have happened: Mary would have been trapped inside our show after it had literally died, and she would not be offered work.
We accepted our fate. How do we want to manage that? This was the way we thought we could accomplish a lot of different goals, with this one action.
And we did. I feel like we made the right choice. Also I would point out that the character archetype who leads their heroes to the final battle, but does not get to participate in that final battle, is as old as Western thought.
I feel like I did the right thing — not just for now. They run and they run and they run; people come to them and they arrive at them. This is how the story ends. This is how we put a period on it. And as we got to the very end, you saw, it could not have ended this way if Sharon had been around. Were you at all worried about audience response? I knew it was going to be a controversial decision, and I knew also that a lot of people would be upset.
But the vast majority of people are not upset, and our ratings have gone up! You mentioned that there was some uncertainty as to just how definitive the cancellation would be when you made this decision to kill off Sharon. Was there any plan for extending the show, should TNT have gone that route?
We knew where we stood. We felt like we had a good shot at coming back. But in the event, I played it over nine episodes. I could have ignored the writing on the wall and just let the show peter out.
