This sixth and final season of the TNT police procedural centering on a special unit of the LAPD takes a different approach, playing out stories over multiple episodes, while focusing on three individual cases: the disappearance of a trio of teenage boys from a Catholic school field trip, the murder of a high-profile attorney famous for taking on cases of sexual harassment, and the pursuit of escaped serial killer Phillip Stroh (Billy Burke), who has vowed to kill Rusty (Graham Patrick Martin), the adoptive son of Captain Sharon Raydor (Mary McDonnell). The series was a spin-off of The Closer but developed its own distinctive identity thanks to its portrait of teamwork within a crack squad that has evolved over the years, and those relationships come to the fore in the final episodes as the team pulls together over the death of a major character and unites to protect Rusty. The final season also sees key characters making major changes, from the team’s video and electronics expert Buzz (Phillip P. Keene) getting a well-deserved promotion, to Julio (Raymond Cruz) moving into a new role as a father, to Louie (G.W. Bailey) stepping up definitively as team leader. It is a strong end to the series. Compiling all 13 episodes from 2017-18, extras include a behind-the-scenes featurette and a blooper reel. Recommended. (S. Axmaker)
