Although I've always liked @KyraSedgwick, her character in @TheCloser holds LITTLE APPEAL. Indeed, she's advertised as #mild & #meek while having a foundation of #strength but she's actually #ruthless and #vicious in the show - #UNAPPEALING characteristics in a #HumanBeing as far as I'm concerned. Oh, sure, she always reverts to her SUPPOSEDLY #sweet self but it's AFTER she's ruthlessly and viciously used and abused someone (some #criminal large or small) she was determined to capture. And, while her #closing average is 100%, it would be good if she actually possessed some REAL #HumanEmotions found in a #HighQuality Human being - #depth of character.
Saying, "please," and "thank you," in her inimitably phony manner, both before and after she works to destroy a criminal, does NOT make her the "lovely person" this TV show wants us to think she is. And, even though she is good to her #cat, #BrendaLee is a DISLIKABLE character, which makes for an #unsuccessful, dislikable show.
