The stinging detective

"Major Crimes" was designed as a spinoff of "The Closer" for Mary McDonnell. While the Oscar nominee is still the coolest cop in the room, G.W. Bailey has emerged as the show's most compelling character, a cranky detective who could be the Southern cousin of "NYPD Blue's" Andy Sipowicz. This reliable procedural begins its sixth and final season, set to conclude in January.
