Storyline
This "Closer" spinoff follows cases handled by the Major Crimes division of the LA Police Department. The 7-member team is headed by Capt. Sharon Raydor, whose intellectual smarts combined with a calm, even temperament help a team of experts solve high-profile murder cases. In addition to running the show, Raydor helps guide and protect her teenage charge, a witness in a horrific crime, who finds a safe refuge among members of the major-case squad. —writermaia

- TriviaIn an interview given the day after the show's cancellation, creator James Duff revealed that he and Kyra Sedgwick had a three-episode deal for her to act at some point on Major Crimes, but they could never worked out their schedules and a worthy storyline at the same time.
- GoofsA running action throughout the series was to casually slip the Miranda Warning to people they wanted to question and get them to essentially sign away their rights and was a carry over from The Closer (2005). In 2010 though, the US Supreme Court ruled that an explicit acknowledgment that the person understands their Miranda Rights must be given. This explicit question-acknowledgment rarely was ever done which would invalidate any confession.

Rusty character has got to go.
Major Crimes is a very good crime drama indeed.
But I just don't understand the Rusty character. What is he supposed to be exactly? Why is he in the squad room while all the detectives are discussing the case (any case for that matter)? Why is he in the video room while the detectives and sometimes the ADA are watching an interview with a potential suspect?
I'm pretty sure no police organization in the world would allow such bull.
Why is his dialogue so LONG and TEDIOUS, having nothing to do with the show at all?
I'm trying to figure out the point of having him in the show and of course, what are the writers thinking.
Like one reviewer said, automatic fast forward with he's in the scene.
