Major Crimes is one of the most popular crime drama shows on television, portraying a special squad within the LAPD that deals with high-profile or particularly sensitive crimes. It has taken the already rich and developed characters of The Closer and endowed them with more back story and more emotional depth. This show explores how these law enforcement officers work together as a special squad within the LAPD. After capturing the perpetrator, they work with prosecutors to ensure a conviction.

Tony Denison portrays the character Detective Lieutenant Andy Flynn, a blue collar guy who seeks to get justice for the victims. He is by-the-book and on some cases uncompromising and has no qualms about getting in there and mixing it up.
