Season 6 release date and promo

MonkGlonk·8/7/2017 in News and Announcements

TNT's Major Crimes faces its three most challenging cases, struggling to solve mysteries mired in complex political conflicts having little to do with identifying and arresting murderers. As Cmdr. Sharon Raydor grows accustomed to her new boss, Assistant Chief Leo Mason, the detectives find themselves questioning their faith in the rapidly changing priorities of the justice system and their ability to reason through difficult changes in their personal relationships. Finally, they must accept the necessity of risk, in all its different guises, as they prepare to face the inexplicable but increasingly undeniable return of Phillip Stroh.

Season 6 of Major Crimes premieres Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 9 p.m. on TNT.

Looking at the promo, looks like Buzz has passed his reserve detective training, as he can be seen coordinating patrol officers and he's wearing a suit, something he usually does not wear. I also spy a LAPD Series 6 badge on him, not his usual SID badge, further suggesting that he is going to be acting as a reserve officer, even if he's not a reserve detective.

This could be for just some episodes, not all, but I guess we'll see in the near future!

Wes and Camila were also featured, that was nice to see.

The BIG worry is that they're up against Bull (Michael Weatherly's second-season show) on CBS, which is safely nestled between NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans and This is Us, which was THE big hit of the '16-'17 season. But then, MC has always been a big DVR show.

Based on the media I'm seeing, they'll do three serialized cases, one of which is the Phillip Stroh case (we'll never keep that a spoiler since it's so widely publicized, so let's not try.) Also it looks like Daniel DiTomasso is a regular now. Chief Mason must be giving MCD more personnel! http://deadline.com/2017/08/major-crimes-season-6-premiere-date-tnt-promo-1202144002/

AH! TVLine has the return time as 9:00 P/E. I'm not altogether confident that's accurate, but we'll go with it. http://tvline.com/2017/08/07/major-crimes-season-6-premiere-date-trailer/

Nothing much new, but TV Guide is worth a read. http://www.tvguide.com/news/major-crimes-season-6-premiere-date-trailer/

Looks like it, also with the addition of Camila Paige and possibly Buzz as a reserve detective, that personnel count is higher than it's ever been.

Chief Mason is also making everyone know he's in charge. "What makes this a major crime? I guess I do." Love it, some special investigations rather than all the same murder mysteries!

I also like the fact that MCD is getting bigger cases handed to them. Currently they are in my opinion just a glorified/re-named Robbery-Homicide Division (even though that still also exist in the Major Crimes Universe), and this larger case format fits the division a lot better, having more major/high profile cases than RHD would have in real life.

The whole idea of the change to Major Crimes was to match the real-life Sheriff's Department Major Crimes unit, which handles more than murders, yet the show has stayed about 90% murder. We've also lost the negotiation/deal element that replaced Brenda's interrogations. These change will freshen things up. I think that's why TNT asked for the two multiple-episode arcs: to see if the show would work more serialized. It definitely will.
