Major Crimes is now half way through it's 1st season and i have to say...I'M hooked. I have always been a fan of Mary and was thrilled when she joined the Closer, When it was announced there would be a spin off after Kyra Sedwick decided to leave the show, ( YES she left, stop saying they got rid of her people).I was so excited to see how it would turn out, even though deep down i knew it would be a hit and it is better then i thought it would be. With most of the characters from the closer and new ones in the mix it has become an A grade show. . It has the same writers, directors and most of the actors from The Closer but It is it's own show with own storyline and direction. I love Rusty and Raydors relationship and i can't wait to know more. I love how The original Characters are getting more air time and power. Like Provenza Leading the Team when Raydor is not there. As well as seeing more of Raydor at a personal level. Simply put, i love all the relationships old and new ones that are forming, seeing more of the characters on a personal note and voicing themselves more. This show deserves a second season and beyond and i hope it does. I just hope people learn to let go Of the Closer and see this show for what it really is... Genius.
