It's a whole new ballgame for the LAPD's top-gun detectives as the first electrifying season of "Major Crimes" picks up where the hit series 'The Closer' left off. But there's more than a little grumbling in the tight-knit brotherhood of 'Major Crimes' because their new leader... is their old nemesis, Captain Sharon Raydor (Mary McDonnell). And Raydor arrives with a whole new approach and plenty of baggage - in the form of lingering resentment over her earlier investigations into the team's operations. But even as Raydor attempts to gain the unit's trust, 'Major Crimes' will be forced to pull together to crack their toughest cases ever. From busting a gang of ex-soldiers turned heavily armed robbers, to joining forces with the FBI to take on Israeli mobsters, to investigating a street gang shooting that leads Raydor to jeopardise her career, to stopping the killing spree of a deranged sniper, the 10 episodes of 'Major Crimes' debut series are a major entertainment event... that would be a crime to miss. - Director:
