help Major Crimes FAQ
Do I need to watch The Closer before Major Crimes?
Major Crimes can be followed on its own, but The Closer establishes Sharon Raydor and most of the LAPD squad. The spin-off begins immediately after The Closer ends in 2012, so watching the earlier series adds useful context.
Who replaces Brenda Leigh Johnson as the lead?
Mary McDonnell leads Major Crimes as Captain Sharon Raydor. Kyra Sedgwick's Brenda does not become the new unit chief, although characters such as Provenza, Flynn, Tao, and Sanchez continue from The Closer.
Why does Rusty Beck live with Sharon Raydor?
Rusty is a teenage witness connected to serial predator Phillip Stroh, and Raydor initially protects him through the legal process. Their guardian-and-son relationship becomes one of the show's central serialized stories.
How long did Major Crimes run?
TNT aired six seasons and 108 episodes between 2012 and 2018. The series mixes self-contained investigations with longer arcs involving figures such as Phillip Stroh.
