I love Kyra's character Brenda. She does Brenda perfectly, with a twist of humor, a hidden sharp, analytical mind, and manages to spring her "traps" on the smug, unsuspecting perpetrators in such a Southern drawl style that leaves them speechless. She also keeps her detectives in their place who firstse resented her being their boss and have been forced to admit she is one sharp, sharpt lady and one not to be fooled with. The Closer is definitly on my HD DVR "record entire series" list.
