Season 7 doesn't exist for me. Worst season. Overall, such an amazing show with a wonderful cast. BUT Something had to have happened with the writers. Some episodes became unwatchable.. captain raydor is the worst character and I don't get how she got her own show. So condescending !!! And a couple of plots just got way too dragged out. It's too bad they could have kept things like the first few seasons. You will see the difference.

Super Great Series! Should have offered "Ms.Brenda a big big raise. I know Kevin has lots of money and directed several episodes. Also Let her beautiful daughter play a significant role. Was a family affair, or "Was it?" Did someone or something cause Her to back out of one of the best all around comedy/drama series our family watched. I have watched it 3 times. Major Crimes is a reasonable substitute, but I really miss the comedy in Closer. Wish it would come back.
