Season 5 Review: Damages proves once again why it is one of the smartest thrillers on TV. Read full review

Mark A. Perigard

Season 3 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 5 Review: Her Patty knows how to spread the hurt. Get in on Damages' final round. Read full review

Heather Havrilesky

Season 3 Review: This show transcends the base level of twisty procedurals with one thing: Patty Hewes. Read full review

Robert Abele

Season 1 Review: Close’s burnished enigma characterization works beautifully because Damages, which will spend its 13-episode season detailing the six months that led to the opening shots of a blood-covered Ellen escaping a murder scene, is more a well-oiled genre exercise than the stuff of rigorous personality study.

Tim Goodman

Season 3 Review: Save for one far-fetched incident, the two hours provided enough clues as to where the season will head--and how much conflict from secrets and lies will be coming down the pike - to hook fans of the show who might have been waffling on the commitment. Read full review

Troy Patterson

Season 1 Review: By far the dumber and hammier of the two shows ["Saving Grace" is the other]. Read full review
