“Major Crimes” season 2, episode 17: “Year-End Blowout” airs on TNT tonight.

A year-end blowout sale becomes literal for a used-car lot after one of its owners is killed when a bomb explodes. While the squad tries to find who is responsible, Rusty dons a bulletproof vest under the watchful eye of Lt. Chuck Cooper, a Special Investigation Section (SIS) supervisor, in an attempt to catch the person responsible for threatening his and Sharon’s life.

Here’s a description of the show:

“Go into bold new territory with television’s favorite squad of detectives. Set in the Los Angeles Police Department, ‘Major Crimes’ picks up where successful series ‘The Closer’ leaves off, centering on what it takes to secure an airtight conviction, and exploring how the police and prosecutors work together to build a solid case that results in a suspect confessing, signing a plea agreement, or being found guilty in a court of law.

“With Academy Award and Emmy nominee Mary McDonnell as Captain Sharon Raydor, the series also stars The Closer’s G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Michael Paul Chan, Raymond Cruz and Phillip P. Keene, along with Kearran Giovanni and Graham Patrick Martin, with ‘The Closer’ veterans Jon Tenney and Robert Gossett also appearing. With the same stellar producing team in place, ‘Major Crimes’ delivers as high caliber of action and drama as the hit series it follows.”

“Major Crimes” season 2, episode 17: “Year-End Blowout,” airs Monday, Dec. 30, at 9 p.m. ET on TNT.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
