Editorial Review: Product Description: Hot new legal thriller on FX! Set in New York's world of high stakes litigation, Damages follows the lives of Patty Hewes, the nation's most revered and most reviled litigator, and her bright, ambitious protégée Ellen Parsons as they become embroiled in a class action lawsuit targeting Arthur Frobisher, one of the country's wealthiest CEOs. As Patty battles Frobisher and his attorney, Ellen learns what it takes to win at all costs, and that lives, not just fortunes, are at stake. Amazon.com: Smart, sleek, and more than a little wicked, the Golden Globe-winning series Damages proves that legal programs don't have to follow a well-worn formula in order to prove completely addictive. In fact, the show (from Todd and Glenn Kessler and Daniel Zelman, whose credits include The Sopranos) steers clear from nearly all courtroom drama clichés over the course of its 13 episodes, and hews closer to classic film noir with the slowly-spun web of deceit that is woven around fresh-scrubbed lawyer Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne). After joining the legal firm headed by uber-powerful litigator Patty Hewes (Glenn Close, who won a Golden Globe for her performance), Parsons lands a career-making case--a class-action lawsuit against millionaire Arthur Frobisher (Golden Globe nominee Ted Danson)--but discovers that digging deeply into the case not only reveals layers of corruption, cover-up, and potential scandal, but places her own life in jeopardy as well. Smart, mature writing and note-perfect performances, most notably by Danson as the perverse and complex Frobisher, but also by Tate Donovan, Zeliko Ivanek, Peter Facinelli, Philip Bosco and Peter Reigert, make Damages a genuine pleasure for law and mystery show fans, but also those craving a challenging series that delivers water cooler chat material in every episode. The three-disc set includes all 13 episodes as well as deleted scenes; among the featured extras are two choice commentaries, one with Close, the Kesslers and Zelman, and the other with Ivanek and the creators, both of which are chock-full of production and technical insights. A 30-minute making-of featurette, discussions about the characters by the creators, and a guide to class-action lawsuits rounds out the fine supplemental features. --Paul Gaita Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Ted Danson can act - no trace of SamYes, we all know how good Glenn Close and even Ivanek can be, but I never saw a really good dramatic role from Danson. He can play comedy but here he reached down deep and gave us a conflicted CEO who doesn't want to cross a certain moral line, yet he wants to retain his riches. How far will he go, and for that matter all the other players in this drama. The storytelling method is unique and I'm not sure how much it mattered. We see the major even in the 1st episode and then flashbacks as to ... Read More Rating: - Intelligent PerfectionI have to admit. I flipped on the first episode of Damages & thought... There's nothing else on, so I'll watch this. From the first 5 minutes, I was hooked. I ended up watching every episode live every week (the only series I do that with is Lost)... That's right I did not Tivo it like all my other shows. Bottomline: If you want to commit to an intelligent, brilliantly acted, perfectly shot series, pick-up season 1 of Damages. Rating: - Eager for more DamagesI watched this last season on FX. I was hooked immediately. I bought so my family could see it from the beginning and be ready to watch the new season with me. They loved it. I can't wait for the new season to begin. Rating: - Damages the 1st seasonWow, we coudn't stop watching, can't wait for the 2nd season. Glenn Close is fabulous as a villianous attorney. Rating: - The show that makes every other show on TV look pathetic....If you're reading this you may already be leaning toward buying this show, if you are, BUY THIS SHOW! If you're still on the fence, BUY THIS SHOW! If you have no interest in legal thrillers whatsoever I still say, BUY THIS SHOW!!! I'm serious. DAMAGES show blows all the other shows on TV now (cable or network) out of the water. I was a huge fan of THE WIRE, THE SOPRANOS, SIX FEET UNDER, BATTLESTAR, and this is like those others is top shelf calibre entertainment. The writing is sharp, ...
