Hurrah for Kyra Sedgwick

kyra sedgwick is brilliant in this series which has just about everything you'd want in a crime suspense drama. I know that there are a million series like this in the world, but the one thing that will keep you watching is Sedwick's brilliant performance! Not really a fan or knowledgeable of her work before this series, I am now hooked. She is quirky and funny, yet strong and resilient! Good for her! The rest of it can be overlooked. The writing is not exceptional and the rest of the cast hardly exists. Seriously I can't think of another character that I really care about in this show. And as for TNT claiming that everyone will be talking about the next episode around the water cooler the next day? Don't count on it TNT. Not that many people are watching. It's a great series on the wrong network.
