Why did you leave The Closer , you were wonderful . I still watch Secondhand Lions over and over . Closer just wasn’t the same when you left, I liked Major Crimes but you was gone , broke my old heart.
Same with me. Usually, I’m not a fan of gruesome, murder, rape and manipulative television shows. I’m a “feel good” television and movie watcher. One night while surfing for one of those type programs briefly my attention was somewhere else without noticing the pause on the channel with The Closer and you. Your encounter with the guy who was accused of murder your confession manipulation was absolutely brilliant. At that moment I was hooked. Loved the romance with the guy you married in the series but then you left, and he went to Major Crimes. My interest in the show waned after your exit.
