She faces the challenge of earning the trust and loyalty of her officers, while trying to close the department's hig­hest-profile cases. Major Crime Series Reviews “…It gives nothing away, of course, to confirm that Brenda Leigh will be gone and the Major Crimes Division has been handed over to her successor, Mary McDonnell’s Capt. Sharon Raydor. That turns out to be good news. While new show “Major Crimes” uses some DNA from “The Closer,” it quickly carves out its own niche and promises to make its own story just as compelling. Taking nothing away from Sedgwick’s superb performance, McDonnell has her own quirky-but-tough personality. It lights up quickly…This handoff is clean.” “Major Crime” is an addictive series not unlike “The Closer”. I wasn’t sure how I would like Mary McDonnell taking over but she’s become a refreshing change-up from Kyra Sedgwick’s folksy, but tough, persona.” moviemansguide.com “TNT could hardly have found a more magnetic and compelling lead for Major Crimes in Mary McDonnell, who is altogether more fun to watch than The Closer's Kyra Sedgwick, a bundle of neuroses with cutesy tics like a love of candy and chocolate. As viewers of cult favorite Battlestar Galactica discovered a few years ago, McDonnell makes a powerful center to build a show around, and she's utterly relatable as a strong woman doing her level best in a very difficult job. The rest of the cast is as uniformly excellent as they were on The Closer…” Common Sense Media
