The Closer
Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) is back for a fourth season — and this time she’s snacking a lot less and showing off her hot bod a lot more (10 minutes in and she’s already prancing around in her panties). Partial nudity aside, tonight’s opener has Brenda leading an arson investigation with the help of her season 1 stalker, pyromaniac Bill Croelick (Life on Mars‘ Jason O’Mara), who likes to douse his victims with alcohol and set them ablaze. The murderer’s a bit obvious, and the subplot about Brenda’s fiancé Fritz (Jon Tenney) urinating in their shower is soggy. But Brenda and Bill have enough reluctant chemistry and icky tension to make Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter proud.
