I stumbled upon the show by accident, thought i would give it a glimpse after seeing non-stop commercials for it. I couldn't get enough.. Glenn close is fantastic!! this is no Shield!! her character is dynamic!! Ted Danson, plays it too soft hearted and i didn't like his character at first, but after these two great episodes i beging to see his characters true nature, despite his vast wealth and power, his nature is not that of a predator.. he seems to be the prey.. The young lawyer is a great choice of innocence and she has done a good job.. Glenn close's character is so dynamic and villianish that the only likeness that immediately comes to mind is "Darth Vader with a smile". Great show and the plot twists so far have left me sitting on the couch with my jaw dropped totally blown away!! if you havnt seen it, I'm sorry!! I love it!!

I was all ready for a nice viewing run with Damages. Gleen Close and Ted Danson established her character credibility at the outset, but all those boring 'thirties something' characters who just seem to fill in the dragging conversation spaces between the semi-tense and/or dramatic spots. The show has an irritating stop and start cadence. And I just don't buy the obvious, over dramatised foreshadowing trick of he story line. I suppose it seemed like a good idea at the time but just ends up as bad writing. After the first two whoopie hooks it lost it's impact. I want to keep saying, "Get on with he show". I fell asleep twice in the middle of the show. These TV shows have to give viewers a break from all these male models who can't act. The Sopranos did and look what happened. Now a new kind of gangster show is coming out with all thirties something male models trying to "act" tough. Fuggetit!
