    Gorgeously acted, written, paced, structured and conceived, "Damages" remains one of the best shows on TV--and maybe the most enjoyably addictive.
  2. This is the best ensemble of any show anywhere, and watching these gifted actors bounce off each other is a joy. Damages proves capable hands can craft a thriller for TV.

    It's a lot to juggle, but you can count on the payoff to be worth the trouble. Power, weakness, greed, violence--what's not to like?

    Brilliant, after a rough second seaon, it has picked up the edge where the first season left off. Rose Byrne seems to have come into her own and there are no longer hints of her Australian accent or her acting class techniques; she's really developed into her character. Glenn Close is priceless, and so far, the clever casting of Lily Tomlin, Martin Short, and Campbell Scott have paid off. Expand

  2. Great season in my opinion and easily as good as the first. Asides from the normal damages season arc of catching the bad guy, I felt that the season was very much wrapping up other smaller plots from seasons past - which was a good thing. It was nice to see old faces return for a few episodes and it will be a shame to see many of the characters go (unless they appear again in dream forms etc).. brilliantly well acted by all involved as per ususal - Tate Donovan stepped up the mark massively and really delivered the performance of his career especially in many of the final episode scenes.
