Damages: The Complete First Season
Date undefinedOk, so we know that the plot overall and in its intracacies- is superb, the acting sublime, the dark intrigue unprecedented- what else can I a mere fan add?Cinematography !Sunlight , moonlight, daylight, gritty city streets, sleek boardrooms, the palatial beachfront estate,rainlight even - this camera captures every bit of city and country glamour that is available in every shot.If you look for crime suspense TV with bucketloads of elan,this might just become your replacement for repeated godfather viewings.Damages is just too sophisticated for this world.
Damages: The Complete First Season
Date undefinedDamages is a complex tale of lies, deceit, and misdirection that revolves around a hard driving owner of a prestigious law firm, played by Glen Close), a ruthless businessman, (played by Ted Danson), and a myriad of lesser known supporting actors. To say the plot is intricate would grossly understate the matter, but once the viewer reaches the understanding that the main theme is "trust no-one!" It becomes a roller coaster of plot twists that keep right on coming until the closing scene.

Date undefinedI never thought I would hear that phrase without it referred in seriousness or parody to the X-files. While this is a very short season (13 episodes), each episode is connected. There are no "stand alone" episodes. Everything is connected to the plot's unbelievable finale. The two part narration, 6 months ago and the present is a wonderful storytelling tool which opens up a tiny window into how 6 months ago became now. The writing, the acting are far above typical TV fare. What I really liked was how even the evil characters had a heart to them such as Ted Danson and Glenn Close's characters. What well-rounded and effective people. The thick web of lies and deceit reminded me of Twin Peaks minus the cheerful FBI Agent. There are no cheerful people in this drama. Enjoy! I think the current price is a bit high, though for only 13 episodes.
