Not that we're experts on either The Closer and Saving Grace, but we might be starting to get into 'em a little. No idea what it is that's making us give these shows a second look, particularly since neither one seems to be that much different in their new season and they're basically doing what it is they always do and... Oh, hang on. we think we've figured out. Yep; we've finally succumbed to the TNT-ready foxiness of Kyra Sedgwick and Holly Hunter as take-no-bullshit cops. (And we avoided that before how?)
We've always been super-crushy on Hunter -- she's an awesome, vibrant intelligence in just about any role she undertakes, and she pushes a particular "tiny sassy Southern lady" button we've had since sophomore year in college. But we also find ourselves drawn to Sedgwick these days, and we're not sure we know what that's all about. We think it has something to do with that amazing shade of lipstick she's always wearing. It goes great with her clothes and her hair and her adorably skeptical little scowls and also her hot hot body. (Sure ain't her fake-ass Southern accent that's floating our boat; that's pretty much the south-of-the-Mason-Dixon equivalent of this.)
So, if we were secretly murderers -- and who's to say we're not! -- which would we want giving us the 3rd Degree? Would we be hoping it would be Brenda Leigh Johnson making us sweat behind a two-way mirror, or would we be crossing our fingers that it's Grace Hanadarko who pins us down and cuffs us?
We desperately need the advice of counsel on this one -- and we hear you work pro bono. So what do you think?
