Major Crimes 3.18
So happy to have Billy Burke and Nadine Velazquez back! And what a script! Intricate and tense. A real thrill-ride. Burke’s scenes are stomach churning. He is so good. And Phillip Stroh has - over the years - become a truly epic villain. Terrific work from Graham Patrick Martin in the scene with Rusty and Stroh. That was years coming. And it felt like it. Magnificent. And the final scene… Excellent. 10/10
Major Crimes 3.14
Jude Ciccolella. Convoluted, predictable case-of-the-week. The character-driven scenes with the regulars are the best part. Particularly Provenza reacting to the idea that Flynn might retire. 8/10
Major Crimes 3.13
Carlos Bernard is terrific, and the comedy storyline is a hoot, but the case-of-the-week is a little too convoluted for it’s own good. 9/10
Major Crimes 2.16
Michael Nouri, Michael Hyatt. Case-of-the-week with genuinely surprising resolution, and an interesting point to make. I hope we see Nouri’s unsympathetic character again. 8/10
Major Crimes 2.8
Lori Loughlin. Not much story this week, mostly just an exercise in manipulating the emotions of the audience. Predictable. 6/10

The first season of Major Crimes got off to a shaky start, with a lot of needless character conflict. Which appears (wisely) to have been dropped mid-season. Final episode was top notch. It took them far too long to reach that height, but since I love these characters I was willing to wait. Roll on Season Two!
Major Crimes 1.10
Ramón Franco. Good race-against-time story, with a type of killer unusual for this show and a way of telling the story that is different, also. Plus a satisfying resolution to the season-long story arc. 10/10
