For me, The Closer is one of the better offerings on cable TV. This episode, while not my favorite thus far, demonstrates the slick writing and ease of transition that a lot of series don't attempt to do.
Unlike the Law & Order series or many of the other detective crime shows, there's a consistent storyline to follow, for those who watch week after week, but fresh cases that don't require a lot of exposition. I appreciate this approach, since a LOT of shows beat the viewer over the head with minutiae while trying to get the plot moving.
The realism of the show may be questionable at times, but that point can be forgiven since the humorous and clever twists make the show worthwhile.
