I would advise people to watch final episode of the closer before watching this episode otherwise you would not know who Rusty is . This reminds me lot of the first episode of the closer because of how the team hated Brenda at start it took few season for her to get the respect she has in current season and i am glad they put Sharon is the same situation the only difference when i watched the first episode of the closer we had no background of the character at least this time we actually know a lot about Sharon character before the first episode.

So is this a spin-off?, i don't consider this to be a spin-off i will think of this show as The Closer part 2 because 80% of the cast are same as the characters in the closer. I like the different direction this show is going towards while getting confession were great on the closer there wasn't much action and we are hoping this series will more action packed than the closer. I hoping this will come similar NCIS: LA but only time will tell.

It was great to see Rusty again and the fact that they didn't forget him from series final of the closer is great but i had a feeling Sharon was going to take in Rusty.

Classic Provenza the look on his face during the interrogation was priceless.

On the whole this series has the same feel as the closer but overall it was ok start to the series.

I'm glad Provenza stood up to Raydor considering she was late and unlike Brenda who had just joined the team Raydor has been around for a while and at first thinking Detective Amy Sykes was pregnant going into a gun fight like that was crazy

I've been waiting for this show to be added for over a week now. They have two episodes that have aired. I cannot get this channel with basic cable and cannot watch it on the TNT website either. I have also requested to have this show added in the new show suggestion thread. I think many people are down on it because Brenda left, but that was Kyra Sedgwick's decision. TNT decided to try the spinoff because the Closer was so successful. Just wish i could have the chance to judge for myself.

Did you notice that when it got added it was already on it's 5th episode which means it took 5 weeks for them add it on the site . Codebreaker right new shows do get added monthly so fingers crossed it will be added next month.

I'm not keen on the way Amy is creeping around Sharon and as for the case, the wife might of done the word a favour by killing her rapist husband but to frame a innocent man was diabolical and in my eyes that was premeditated murder and she got off lightly with only eleven years

Well i had feeling she was drugged but finding out it was her boyfriend who drugged her was sad   .Poor Rusty mom did a runner with the money but it's great he came back to Sharon house
Author: codebreaker    Time: 9-10-2012 04:05     Subject: 1x03 Medical Causes

Rusty thinking the guys were being nice by putting their own money for his mother was amusing as they just wanted to see the back of him but you just knew something was going to go wrong, what a coincidence the the first blood sample was put in the wrong vile and the confession from Tom was great but what a scum-bag doing that to his girlfriend

Poor Buzz being saddled with getting Rusty to school but defending himself against three boys for telling the truth was great and Arthur's reaction to the guys sitting on his couch was amusing, I had a feeling Avi had something to do with his fathers murder when he was coughing to get his mothers attention
Author: bala    Time: 9-11-2012 10:46     Subject: Citizens Arrest

Well after finding a body in drum we find out it was ransom but if there were going get rid of both their children after ransom was sad since it good manners to actually let kids go after recieving money but the amount of guns they bought must have had home address instead of getting one of them show them where it is?.

So they found rusty father ?

Amy keep putting her foot in her mouth is starting to get annoying and I'm surprised the kid couldn't tell from the photo the he was dead but the civilian police officer was amusing and the way Sanchez got the location of the girl was great

Capt. Raydor's way to get Lamar the brother of the victim of the street was novel and without technically breaking the rules and with victim going for the clover box I first thought he was going for his documents but that was some beating Skyes got from Lamar, Diego's father making sure his son had an alibi was crazy

What a complete idiot you would think after he got released he would of gotten rid of the second body but what he said to his daughter at the end was diabolical.    . It's a good thing he didn't otherwise he would of gotten away with murder.

What a shame he was bad cop stalking victims but he really got killed because he force those women to sleep with him but shame she going to jail for it .
Author: bala    Time: 10-16-2012 09:21     Subject: Long Shot

I think the Rusty storyline is getting old i understand that the writer are trying portray Sharon character as likeable but i actually thought once they found his biological father that would put end of his storyline but now it look like he going permanent character which really annoys me because i tolerated him for past few episodes thinking he was going to leave.

We are past half way mark in this series and consider this spin-off the closer i have to say i am rather disappointed with the series. I am trying not to compare Brenda with Sharon but the fun bit of the closer were this two always arguing  with each other and while Sharon has done a reasonable job as leader Brenda was the master.

I don't know whether this series will get renewed but from what i seen i wouldn't be too disappointed if this doesn't make the cut.

Ok rant over back to this episode it was good case but seriously he was crazy trying to take on all those cops
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-22-2012 13:28     Subject: 1x07 The Shame Game

Provenza describing the ass hole symbol was amusing and Rusty was a jerk having a go at Sharon about his father considering how long he has been with her and how they got the arrest was interesting
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-22-2012 14:11     Subject: 1x08 Dismissed with Prejudice

Daniel almost getting away with the perfect crime and the possibility of claiming compensation was interesting and with Double jeopardy in play he should of got rid of the second body but what he said to his daughter was terrible
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-22-2012 14:45     Subject: 1x09 Cheaters Never Prosper

What a creep stalking women of identity theft but taking antifreeze with her made it premeditated which was stupid and what Daniel did to Rusty was crazy as he knows Sharon's a cop
Author: codebreaker    Time: 10-22-2012 15:19     Subject: 1x10 Long Shot

Daniel walking into the station to see Rusty was brave considering what he did to him and what a tragedy for Angel loosing his father for what he accidentally saw, moving the car was risky but a clever move
Author: bala    Time: 6-11-2013 07:55     Subject: 2X01 Final Cut

Well nice to have this series back but new DA is rather naive and only interested in doing it easy way rather than let them actually get the confession. You can understand why Rusty doesn't want keep going on about what happened

The new Deputy D.A. Emma felling sick in the morgue was surprising as you would of thought she would be used to that and the husband not trying to save his pregnant wife from the pool would be suspicious, Rusty's case does seem to be dragging out as this started in the final season of The Closer but what he asked Provenza was interesting
Author: bala    Time: 6-18-2013 07:50     Subject: False Pretenses

Well whoever wrote that letter certainly made Rusty nervous and the deal they put together was great trap because he had no idea confessing to murder he thought it was only for robberies but that was dodgy and new DA certainly has a lot learn about how major crimes gets the convictions.
Author: codebreaker    Time: 6-18-2013 09:58     Subject: 2x02 False Pretenses

Emma's reaction to the victims face being missing was priceless and what a great way to get a conviction by getting him to admit robbing the victims home

Amusing way for Rusty to find out if Amy has a boyfriend for the reporter and what a find at the chop shop and in the car but who would of thought with them removing the drugs she almost got away with it

Lloyd has to be one of the most dumbest idiots with so much evidence against him but even finding the guy dead and taking the beer while with an escort didn't help but eavesdropping on Rusty with the girl from his class was amusing

Lewis going to prison for pulling Michelle's trousers was great as he was a to arrogant and lets hope he's put on the sexual register for life, Matt attacking Lewis in the police station knowing he killed his brother was a clever way to try and throw suspicion on Lewis butt Matt saying Michelle didn't run like a girl was cold

As soon as this started at the gas station I knew it would involve a drive by shooting but tragic that innocent lives were lost, Rios and Sanchez butting heads was interesting but the guys all having his back was great and Rusty being worried about meeting Kris' parents was understandable
